Food Labelling
Food Labelling
Food labelling is the most diverse of all label end-uses, ranging from product tracking and marking sell-by dates to promotion.
It’s imperative that labels in the food industry retain their adhesive properties when:
- applied to cold and moist surfaces
- subsequently placed in deep freeze storage
- in contact with fat and oil.
- An eye-catching effect at the point of sale
Labels used in the food industry serve the need for an eye-catching effect at the point of sale. They also support branding.
Other aspects of food labelling are covered in the following sections:
- Price marking: Retail Information
- Labelling for transportation: Logistics and Transport
- Labelling on liquid dairy products and water and juice bottles: Beverage
- Labels for every substrate
The substrates labelled in the food industry include glass, hard and soft plastics, fibre-based materials like paper and board, and metals. Special areas in this segment include open-closure (resealing) applications, direct food contact such as fruit labelling, and promotional booklet labels containing recipes, etc.
