PrintSafe can provide a range of coding solutions that can print directly onto food and food packaging with the quality, consistency and reliability you need.
Key Applications
Food Grade
- High quality coding directly onto food such as ice cream, cheese and confectionary products using food grade ink
- Range of ink colors ensures legibility and outstanding contrast
- Approvals include FDA and EU food-grade applications
- Odor free inks for printing onto products and permeable packaging such as cigarettes
- Self-disinfecting inks
Eggs
- Foodgrade inks that are fast drying and self disinfecting
- Coding directly onto egg shells
- Non-contact printing ensures high quality print onto curved surfaces
- Application integrates seamlessly with all main egg grader machines
PET
- Tuned lasers enable, high quality permanent laser coding without perforation
- High speed continuous ink jet printing with fast drying inks ensures code is not smeared or rubbed off
- Non-contact printers produce high quality code onto uneven and curved surfaces
- Abrasion-resistant inks that will not rub off
- Laser codes stay crisp and clear even after wash down
Flexible Packs/Flow Wrap
- Superior adhesion on plastics, foils and laminate ensures ink remains legible when flexed
- Non contact continuous and thermal ink jet and laser printing will not damage substrate
- Tuned lasers enable high quality permanent laser coding without perforation
- Highly efficient thermal transfer overprinting in high volume manufacturing environments
Glass
- Superior adhesion on wet glass
- White inks to print onto darker backgrounds for outstanding contrast
- Removable inks for returnable bottles
- Nude inks only visible under UV lights for internal traceability without visually marking finished product
- Permanent laser coding
Cans
- Excellent metal adhesion inks
- Consistently clear coding
- Thermochromic inks change color when cans have been steam sterilised
- Code anywhere from cap to bottom of cans
Cartons
- Excellent adhesion even on heavily laminated cartons
- Tuned lasers offer letter-quality coding on the range of carton coatings
- Continuous and thermal ink jet and laser coders keep pace with high speed lines
Corrugated Outer Cases
- Minimize inventory variants and simplify stock planning using ink jet (high resolution larger character), valve-jet (large character) and print and apply labelers
- Flexibility for ad-hoc printing runs and personalization of packaging at no extra cost
- Eliminate the need for pre-printed cases
- Print variable data, graphics and bar coding including GS1 compliant codes
Shrink Wrapped Trays/Pallets
- Print and Apply labelers provide high resolution printing of bar codes, text and graphics
- Ensure supply chain compliance with GS1 compliant codes
- Accurate information and label placement with no compromise in line speeds
- Modular systems for seamless integration
