Fresh produce packaging, including plastic clamshells, bags, trays, and cartons, presents unique coding challenges due to varied surface textures, shapes, and materials. Flexible bags may stretch or wrinkle during filling, while trays and cartons can have uneven, porous surfaces that affect ink adhesion. Some packaging also features high-gloss finishes or moisture-prone areas, making print clarity and durability harder to achieve.

Coding must convey consumer-facing information such as best-before dates, nutritional details, and product branding, as well as traceability data for batch control and supply chain compliance. High-speed packing lines, frequent product changes, and environmental factors like humidity and temperature variations require coding solutions that provide reliable, legible, and durable printing. Systems must also integrate seamlessly with automated packaging equipment, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent code quality across diverse fresh produce packaging formats.

①Flexible film

Flexible film packaging is widely used for pre-packaged fruits and vegetables, especially in sliced fruits and vegetables. Inkjet printers can print production dates, shelf lives, and batch numbers clearly on the film surface. The smooth surface allows for quick ink drying, ensuring clarity and durability of the information.

②Plastic

Plastic packaging is commonly used for fruits and vegetables, especially in transparent bags or containers. Inkjet printers can print production information, shelf life, and other details on various types of plastic surfaces (such as PE, PET), ensuring clarity and durability of the information.

③Metal can

Metal can packaging is used for canned fruits, vegetables, and other products. Inkjet printers can print production dates, batch numbers, and other details on the metal surface. Due to the hard metal surface, specialized inks are used to ensure clear and durable prints, even during long-term storage or transportation.

④Glass Bottles

Glass bottle packaging is commonly used for fruit juices, vegetable drinks, and other liquid products. Inkjet printers can print production dates, batch numbers, and expiration dates on the glass surface. The smooth surface of glass allows for suitable inks and technologies to ensure clarity and durability of the information.
