markings in groceries

Large diversity of groceries forces to apply different certified raw materials for manufacturing of labels which may come into contact with foodstuffs. Both raw material and the overprint are required to be selected appropriately to conditions, which product may be exposed to. In such case, it is recommended to apply labels, resistant to moisture, high or low temperature or greasy effects. When designing labels for groceries, their look, aesthetics and colouring become the most important features. Therefore high-quality multicoloured print is applied here with a usage of glossy varnishes, goldings and stampings.   

  • multicoloured labels are the most common solution for markings of every kind bottles or jars intended for liquid and loose no prescription preparations.  Their fundamental task is consumer’s interest arousing, that’s why the label is required to distinguish itself with graphics and quality of realization.  It is possible to achieve such effect, thanks to application of label manufacturing sophisticated techniques, such as laminating, golding, stamping ultra-transparent foil printing (“no label look” technique), paper or high-gloss foil print. Multicoloured labels are applicable for producers of coffee, candies, beverages, alcohols, pasta, ice creams, ketchup and mayo and also for bakeries, meat plant, diaries and breweries. 
  • weight labels are made of thermal paper, unprinted or initially printed labels are mostly protected with UV varnish. First of all they are applied by meat and fish plants, diary and groceries producers.
  • special adhesive labels are applied where labeled product is exposed do specific conditions, such as low temperature, moisture or greasy environment. It mainly relates to groceries producers which products are stored in refrigerators or deep-freezers. Special adhesive application prevents from coming unstuck or label damaging which is exposed to above mentioned conditions.
  • logistic labels are the basic manner of unit and collective packaging markings during transportation. Labels made of semi-gloss laminate are the most commonly applied. They assure good print quality and low price. When logistic labels is exposed to atmospheric effects (moisture, temperature etc.) foil labels are applied. 

for printing we recommend

  • CITIZEN thermal transfer printers - For printing every kind of labels, thermal transfer printers are applied. Application of such technique assures high durability and good legibility of the marking. Thermal transfer printers allow to print every graphic information (logo, frame), text, barcodes, numerator, date and time. Possibility of printing small print runs and single labels is the additional advantage of such method.
  • Weighing-labeling system consists of electronic scale, label printer and software integrating these two devices. Such solution allows to print labels which bear product weight, date and time of packing. The scale transfers to the printer necessary data in order to print labels (net and gross weight). Data are placed on the label accordingly. Other information such as production date, expiry date, barcode are received from data base and automatically put on the label. When product is put on the scale, printer starts printing labels with appropriate weight. 
  • Black and coloured thermal transfer ribbons for every kind of material .
  • Pigment ribbons for daters. Black and coloured ribbons for print of packaging made of different materials. They are resistant to heat, cold or sterilization.
