Food labeling and marking

Are you wondering how to apply best-before dates, barcodes and batch numbers to your products or food packaging?

We'll advise you individually and clarify the important questions about the production conditions in your company and the desired production speed.

Production line in the food industry - Labelling and coding in the food industry

In the food industry, nothing works without labeling, whether it's compulsory legal information or information on proof of origin and sustainability. Consumers' need for information is growing, and labeling is becoming increasingly individual. Full traceability must be guaranteed, as must the security of labeling. Labeling systems must also be able to withstand the high demands of hygiene and difficult production environments, for example in the frozen food sector. We'll help you choose the right system and check the surfaces you want to label. After all, it makes no difference whether you want to label flexible plastic bags, cans or cartons. During a personal meeting, we'll determine whether ink or labels are the best choice for your needs. Do you have specific requirements for consumables, such as food-grade inks? Your requirements will be taken into account during the consultation so that we can work with you to develop a tailor-made solution.
