Flexible food packaging gives brand owners the opportunity to attract customers and communicate food benefits, allergen warnings and traceability information. The ability to provide information on the packaging without compromising the food’s quality or safety is essential.
Continuous inkjet (CIJ) printing is a versatile coding method to produce clear, readable alphanumeric codes on irregular and curved surfaces such as pouches, bags and packs. Food manufacturers often employ CIJ printers on their packaging lines to print manufacturing information, expiration dates and other variable data directly onto flexible food packaging.
