core tip: more and more manufacturers need to mark the information of edible products on the product packaging, such as nutrition table, ingredient table, etc. These labeling information is the first product detail that consumers pay attention to before buying products. If they do not pay more attention, these small details will have a negative impact on the brand. High quality manufacturers tend to be more considerate in the details, so as to improve consumers' good impression of the product brand. At the same time, they will also consider avoiding adding additional processes to increase the amount of information, thereby dragging down production capacity

[China Packaging News] more and more manufacturers need to mark the information of edible products on the product packaging, such as nutrition table, ingredient table, etc. These labeling information is the first product detail that consumers pay attention to before buying products. If they do not pay more attention, these small details will have a negative impact on the brand. High quality manufacturers tend to be more considerate in the details, so as to improve consumers' good impression of the product brand. At the same time, they will also consider avoiding adding additional processes to increase the amount of information, thereby dragging down production capacity

in recent years, the global economic situation is grim, which has led to many manufacturing enterprises stagnating in business. In sharp contrast, the rejuvenation of the convenience food and instant food market has seen a good momentum, the market demand for convenience food and instant food is increasing, and the industry development trend is gratifying. According to a recent market survey, in the UK market, convenience food and ready to eat food account for more than 10% of the business proportion of major supermarkets and shopping malls, making them the largest part of food sales

worldwide, the sales of ready to eat food and convenience food are also increasing. Take the UK market as an example. As the largest convenience food market in Europe, the UK fast food business reached 1.85 billion pounds in 2011 and is expected to grow by 35% to 2.71 billion pounds by 2016. The huge potential market has brought new development directions to the industry. Facing the foreseeable future growth, manufacturers must also deal with the arduous tasks behind the growth, and the market's requirements for the continuous improvement of product identification. When manufacturers are busy including two metal feed pipes and a bottle cutting machine to improve production efficiency, increase profit space and protect brand integrity, more and more consumers begin to pay attention to product ingredients and other labeling information. A large number of stakeholders, such as retailers, are also promoting this attention and putting pressure on manufacturers to strengthen the information identification of this part of edible products. In addition, the government is also actively advocating, or even legislating, that product labels must clearly indicate the best consumption date and effective date, so as to ensure that consumers can judge and make purchase decisions based on the marked information when purchasing products. Under the common pressure of many parties, it is no wonder that brand holders pay high attention to the logo

for brand holders, the primary task of protecting brand integrity and improving brand image is to control product quality, and maintain certain monitoring of products in the production and sales process. On this basis, the adoption of unique products, batch numbers, QR codes and other forms has been promoted, which has increased the traceability of the supply chain; On the other hand, the accurate and clear inkjet code on the product packaging is the complement and improvement of the overall brand image, otherwise it will affect the brand image. This project is specially customized for the climatic conditions in the changsanjiao region to disperse the comprehensive awareness of consumers to the brand. With the development and expansion of new media, reading the QR code logo on the product package to enhance the positive interaction with customers has also become a publicity method of brand innovation. For retailers of ready to eat food and convenience food, as an indispensable process before product retail, it is necessary to mark the information such as the best eating date of the product on the product, but retailers pay more attention to the use of authentic font, which is harmonious and unified with the font on the product package, so as to improve the aesthetics

for manufacturers, although retailers, brand owners and even consumers have repeatedly emphasized the importance of labeling information, efficient and safe production is still the key to success. Labeling must match the production line and will not affect high-speed production. Facing the labeling needs of manufacturers, there are several ways to choose from in the market. Comparing the application and output effects, there are only slight differences in this series of technologies

laser coding machine

when looking for permanent identification, whether it is a high-speed or low-speed production line, laser coding opportunity is a good choice. Marking a series of numbers, bar codes, two-dimensional codes and other marking information at the production speed, the laser code printer is clean, fast and easy to operate. However, before marking, the laser printer first needs to mark the white text information on the brown background, which is easily affected by the material, so it is not suitable for use in the packaging of convenient and instant food

inkjet printer

inkjet technology is one of the most popular and universal solutions today. It has always been the first choice for convenient food labeling solutions. The printable materials cover many permeable or non permeable surface materials

cij continuous inkjet printer is the leading inkjet printing method in many fields, but in some special applications, such as when manufacturers require clearer inkjet printing methods, they often seek other feasible alternatives

hot wax inkjet printer has certain applications in the outer packaging of convenience food or snacks, but with the improvement of production efficiency, manufacturers gradually find the limitations of hot wax inkjet printer. In extreme high temperature operation, it requires a long start-up time and regular maintenance and shutdown in order to replace the burnt out nozzle. On the other hand, the resolution of the hot wax inkjet printer is low, and the inkjet surface is easy to disappear in case of friction, which affects the tracking and tracing needs of manufacturers in the later stage

the characteristics of high-resolution, high-quality and anti wipe identification of thermal foaming inkjet printer (TIJ) are the key to the information labeling of instant food and convenient food. These requirements also make more and more manufacturers choose to use thermal foaming inkjet printer

hot foaming inkjet printer is one of the most efficient and clean inkjet solutions today. The high-speed and high-resolution inkjet experience meets the control of the food packaging production line over the production environment. The high-definition printing effect of the thermal foaming equipment mainly comes from the hundreds of nozzles distributed on each nozzle, which can easily complete the printing of holographic fonts, graphics, QR codes, matrix QR codes, bar codes and other contents, with a resolution of up to 600dpi

when referring to the efficiency of TIJ equipment, we have to mention special water-based or ethanol based inks. The water-based or ethanol based inks used by TIJ are certified and can be used in food production environment. At the time of development, through the printing test of a variety of substrates, the applicable range of materials has been further expanded, especially suitable for the packaging materials widely used in instant food and convenience food

like the hot wax inkjet printer, the inkjet effect of TIJ equipment depends on the fitting degree of the product and the print head. In the printing process, the better the fitting degree of the print head is controlled, the better the inkjet effect is. In addition, TIJ equipment is compact, clean and convenient, and easy to integrate with existing production lines. During operation, TIJ equipment has a short start-up time and requires little equipment maintenance. These are the factors that manufacturers pay most attention to when seeking OEE, which further improves the attractiveness of TIJ technology in the food packaging environment

in the face of many devices, manufacturers need to know their own needs very well when choosing products and choose the most suitable solution for their own applications. However, as mentioned above, the actual situation is that when manufacturers seek the most suitable solution, on the one hand, they need to consider their own needs, such as reducing downtime and expanding production; On the other hand, we need to consider that the product packaging is a part of the brand image, and the fuzzy inkjet effect will also affect the brand quality

in the long run, maximizing production efficiency should be the primary goal of many manufacturers. Whether they can effectively complete production tasks and make manufacturers stand out from many competitors is an important reason to choose intelligent devices, improve output and minimize downtime. It is the main reason to regularly adhere to the stability of screws in various parts. In addition, considering the subsequent use, it is also important to measure the technical support ability of suppliers and the quality of consumables in the early stage of equipment procurement. Choosing a supplier is actually choosing a partner. A series of authorized inks, after-sales support, and scientific data management systems suitable for food packaging environment provide, manage, and store unique product identification codes, together with production, sales A series of follow-up support, such as after-sales links, is often the best value-added product that an excellent partner can provide, and the elongation at break of ordinary polymer materials is mostly between 50% and 100%

domino G series thermal foaming inkjet printer has great advantages in primary and secondary packaging, especially suitable for the packaging of instant food and convenience food.
