Food Packaging Coding Solution with CIJ Inkjet Printer
Release time:
2026-07-10
Real-world case study of CIJ inkjet coding on flexible food packaging. See how VJ and DM compatible CIJ printers mark expiration dates, batch numbers
Application Overview
A food processing and packaging facility required reliable high-speed coding on flexible packaging films and pouches. Products include snack foods, frozen meals and dry goods requiring expiration dates, batch numbers and traceability codes on the packaging surface.
Challenge
The existing coding system produced inconsistent print quality on non-porous film surfaces leading to unreadable codes and frequent line stoppages. A solution was needed that maintained high throughput with clear legible codes meeting food safety traceability requirements.
Solution
We supplied a CIJ printer configured with fast-drying food-grade ink for flexible packaging films. The system was installed on the existing packaging line with minimal modification.
High-contrast coding on glossy and matte film surfaces
Production speeds up to 300 packages per minute
Automatic date and batch number updates
Low-odor MEK-free ink for food environments
Result
The facility achieved 99.8 percent code readability with zero coding-related production stoppages. The CIJ system reduced ink consumption by 35 percent compared to the previous system and the compatible consumables program cut annual coding costs by 40 percent.
Equipment Used
Compatible CIJ printer with food-grade black ink and automatic printhead cleaning system.
