The latest printing equipment and software for the production of food labels is designed to enhance product appeal and better communicate information on food content. Technological advances have improved printing speed, accuracy and flexibility to accommodate different types of labels and provide quick changeover.
Much of the improvement has come in the area of on-demand color printing of labels. The biggest trends include a sharp increase in speed and image quality. While on-demand color printing technology has existed for years, the speed was limited so it was only suitable for short production runs. Today, simple solutions are available with high-image quality that can produce tens of thousands of labels per day.
