The food industry

A particular challenge in food production is temperature fluctuations. When products are refrigerated or frozen and then pass through warmer zones in production or distribution, condensation often forms on the packaging surfaces. This can make both labelling and ink marking difficult, especially if the right technology is not used. Poor adhesion or illegible marking risks leading to repackaging, discarding or, in the worst case scenario, production shutdowns.

The most common labelling information in the food industry is batch number, best-before date, barcodes and sometimes also production location or allergen information. This information is not only important for the consumer – it is absolutely crucial to meet regulatory requirements and enable full traceability in the event of recalls or quality checks.

To meet these requirements, marking equipment is required that is adapted to food environments – often with high hygiene requirements, humid environments and fast pace. Technologies such as industrial inkjet marking (CIJ) are often used for direct marking of plastic film, cardboard and labels, while labelling systems are used for marking packages, cans, bags and boxes. Lasers are used in some cases, especially for materials where a permanent, non-contact marking is required.

At Logimark, we work with solutions that are developed to meet these challenges. For example, we offer high-adhesion inks for damp surfaces, labelling systems with customized dispensing for cold chains, and robust printers with IP ratings for wet environments. Our software enables easy handling of batch numbers and date codes, and we always ensure that the labelling is seamlessly integrated into your existing production.

When labelling works as it should, it becomes a natural part of the production flow – not an obstacle. We help you find the right technology for your product, so that labelling meets both today's requirements and tomorrow's expectations.
