I am trying to find information on industry standards for packaging products using the Sutherland Rub Test for Abraision Resistance of Metallic Inks with Gloss Aqueous Coating.
I agree with you that I may not find an industry standard for this scenario but there has got to be something out there better than what I have found so far. I have found plenty of standards for Rub testing of conventional inks with AQ but the only mention of metallic inks and AQ is that they will have less rub and abrasion. Less is a pretty broad term and pretty hard to sell. We have been working with our customer to establish an acceptable rub test for these products but they are all about having procedures in place that meet industry standards.
