Mastering Food Packaging Coding: The Low-Cost Secret to Marking Every Irregular Surface

Mastering Food Packaging Coding: The Low-Cost Secret to Marking Every Irregular Surface

For food manufacturers, traceability is paramount. Every item requires a permanent, legible code (MFG/EXP/Batch) to meet legal compliance. However, achieving quality Food Packaging Coding on all container types—especially those with complex shapes—is a significant operational and financial challenge.

Traditional systems often fail where packaging gets difficult: the concave base of an aluminum can, the curved edge of a bottle cap, or the fold in a flexible bag. Automated CIJ and laser printers struggle with these irregularities, forcing manufacturers to accept high costs or inconsistent results.

The Low-Cost, High-Adhesion Technique

The solution is an industrial stamper engineered for full surface contact. This technique bypasses the limitations of non-contact printing by conforming precisely to the packaging shape. Paired with fast-drying, specialized ink, this system achieves a clean, permanent mark where expensive machinery cannot.

Why This Tool Excels on Complex Geometry:

• **Uneven Surfaces:** The tool's design ensures even pressure and ink transfer on highly irregular and recessed areas, such as the bottom-to-side curve of a can.
• **Instant Permanence:** The codes adhere instantly on metal, plastic, and glass, making them waterproof, heat-resistant, and scratch-proof—vital for the food supply chain.
• **Extreme Cost Savings (Low-CAPEX):** This system provides professional compliance quality at a fraction of the cost of large, complex automated printers.
• **Ease of Use:** Simple operation and zero maintenance make it ideal for small-to-medium batch production.

By implementing this technique, you simplify your entire coding workflow. You no longer need separate solutions for plastic films, glass bottles, or aluminum cans. One reliable tool handles everything, ensuring your product traceability is flawless from the packaging line to the consumer.
