Marking on bread and pastries – in a nutshell!

Table of Contents
Bakery products and breads face a variety of packaging options – from plastic bags and float packaging to paper bags, cartons and glass jars. This variety places high demands on choosing the right marking technology that can meet the needs of the industry, the producer and the consumer.
For production managers in the food industry, the choice of marking technology is an important task. The packaging material, production volume, standard regulations and the printing information itself (what to label and where) must be carefully considered. At the same time, the regulations are strict for equipment that comes into direct contact with food, which requires special measures to ensure hygiene and safety.
Unique challenges when marking bread and baked goods
Marking bread and baked goods is often done manually, especially for products with a short shelf life. However, as production volumes increase, manual methods quickly become inefficient and impractical. Here’s where semi-automatic labelling systems or Print & Applysolutions as reliable alternatives. These systems can apply labels to plastic bags, cartons and cans with high precision and speed.
Automating the labelling process provides several benefits:
- Increased productivity: Production can be handled faster and with less manual work.
- Maximized efficiency: Automated systems minimize errors and ensure consistent quality.
- Consumer safety: The labelling becomes hygienic and safe, even in contact with food.
- Improved traceability: Labelling can be integrated with logistics systems to track products along the supply chain.
Thermal transfer printers – a preferred solution
Thermal transfer printer, TTO is one of the most popular methods of marking in the industry. The technology is non-contact and can mark at high resolution, which is crucial to ensuring clear information on packages. In addition, these printers are designed for clean and efficient operation, minimizing the risk of dirt and contamination in the production environment.
We offer GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) compliant inks, ensuring that the ink used to mark best-before dates and other important information is safe. These inks dry quickly, adhere securely to packaging materials, and ensure sharp, legible markings.
