From batch numbers and expiry dates to allergen information, barcodes, and traceability data, every package must be clearly marked, often at high speeds and on challenging substrates. With strict regulations and fast moving production lines, manufacturers need printing solutions that deliver consistency, durability, and efficiency. Whether printing on bottles, cans, pouches, cartons, or flexible films, the right solution keeps operations compliant and running smoothly.
Expert solutions for
FOOD & BEVERAGE
Fast, reliable and accurate product identification that keeps supply chains moving and consumers safe.
The food and beverage industry relies on accurate and reliable product identification to keep supply chains moving and consumers safe.
Food and beverage manufacturers face a unique set of challenges.
High speed production lines, variable packaging materials, strict hygiene requirements, and tightening regulations around traceability and safety. Codes must remain legible throughout the product’s lifecycle, even when exposed to moisture, condensation, heat, or refrigeration. In addition, frequent product changeovers and short production runs demand flexible, easy to use printing systems.
Our coding and marking solutions address these challenges with technologies designed specifically for demanding food and beverage environments. CIJ printers deliver fast, non contact coding on curved or uneven surfaces. TIJ provides clean, high resolution text and barcodes for cartons and labels. PIJ and print bars offer precision for detailed graphics and variable data. Laser marking creates permanent, tamper proof codes without consumables. For packaging lines requiring labels, print and apply systems ensure accurate placement and GS1 compliant barcodes.
