Discover how CIJ and TIJ inkjet printers streamline date coding, batch tracking, and logistics labeling across food and beverage production lines for full traceability and compliance.
CIJ inkjet printers cover virtually every stage of food and beverage production lines, primarily used to mark variable information on products or packaging.
Primary Packaging (Product itself or inner packaging)
1. Production date and best-before date: These are the most fundamental and mandatory requirements. CIJ can rapidly print on locations such as the base of bottles, the top of cans, or the seal of packaging bags.
2. Batch numbers: Enable quality traceability. Should issues arise, all products from the same batch can be swiftly and accurately recalled.
3. QR codes/barcodes: Support warehouse logistics management, anti-counterfeiting traceability, and marketing interactions (e.g., QR code scanning for prize draws or product information viewing).
4. Ingredient lists/nutritional labels: For smaller or flexible packaging, simplified information is sometimes printed directly.
Tij inkjet printers applied to secondary packaging (outer cartons/boxes)
1. Logistics codes: e.g., GS1-128 barcodes containing product details, batches, quantities, etc., facilitating warehouse management and retailer receiving.
2. Regional codes: Distinguishing products for different sales territories.
3. Promotional information: Short-term promotional labels such as ‘Buy one get one free’ or ‘New product launch’
