The pasta market is estimated to reach $46.84 billion this year. To identify which pasta labeling solutions are most suitable for its packaging, food production managers need to pay attention to several aspects: packaging material, production volume, standard regulations and printed information. The brand name, components, nutritional information and place of production can often be found on pasta labels.
Badge numbers and expiration dates are written on the label, allowing the consumer to locate all the necessary information in one place. Without the above information, distribution channels may refuse to sell the manufacturer’s items. Production managers pay close attention to potential labeling issues to meet stringent industry requirements.
Labeling solutions for pasta: application of the label
From an application point of view, the labeling of pasta packs could be complex: due to the freshness of the food, the labeling is sometimes done by hand. However, for industrially manufactured products or high volume production, automatic or semi-automatic labeling systems are preferable instead for applying labels to plastic bags and cardboard boxes.
By automating the labeling process, companies increase production, increase efficiency, maintain customer safety and ensure product traceability throughout the supply chain.
Alpha Compact and Thermal Inkjet
Thermal Inkjet Printing (TIJ) is a popular method for branding and is beneficial for confectionary items that arrive in cardboard boxes or plastic packaging. Thermal inkjet printing allows manufacturers to brand their items cleanly, in high resolution and without contact.
The labeling phase is simplified thanks to the Alpha-Compact label dispenser and the Markoprint X1JET inkjet printer. These systems work together to ensure that a pre-printed label is automatically positioned and marked on top immediately after the label is applied.
