The Toughest Coding Challenge in Food Packaging
The Toughest Coding Challenge in Food Packaging
In the food industry, compliance is non-negotiable. Every package must clearly display Batch Numbers (BN), Manufacturing Dates (MFG), and Expiration Dates (EXP). But for many products, the packaging itself presents the biggest hurdle, especially when dealing with inflated or air-filled blister bags.
The Blister Bag Nightmare
Why are these bags so difficult for conventional printers?
- Uneven Surface: The air inside creates a soft, dome-like surface, making it impossible to apply consistent pressure.
- Movement: The plastic stretches and shifts under minimal contact, leading to distorted or crooked prints.
- Smudging Risk: Traditional rollers or automated systems often smear ink because the surface isn't rigid enough to hold steady during curing.
This coding headache often results in time waste, rejected products, and potentially costly compliance issues.
The Simple Solution for Complex Packaging
The good news is that specialized equipment can overcome this challenge. Our featured Manual Batch Date Printer is specifically engineered to handle these non-flat, challenging surfaces with ease and precision.
The key lies in its controlled, simple operation. Instead of relying on mechanical rollers that might squeeze the air out or cause the bag to move, the operator applies a single, firm press.
