Flexible packaging
Accurate printing of key information such as date, price, batch code, etc. not only facilitates product tracking and tracing, but is also a strong defence for food safety.
-Suitable for printing variable data
Printable on pre-printed packaging film
-Strong material adaptability
As the flexible packaging industry grows, many brands are switching from rigid packaging to flexible packaging. Some of the product applications may include: bakery products, pastries, Chips and crackers, frozen foods, soft-serve beverages, condiments, coffee, beverages, confectionery, processed meats, traditional Chinese medicine, and more!
Thermal transfer technology in flexible packaging printing is a high-speed solution. This is achieved through the use of thermal transfer printers (TTO), which are more advanced than traditional analogue coding technologies such as hot stamping and roll-on printers.TTO technology enables the introduction of digital transfer technology into flexible film packaging, which is commonly used in the food industry, whereby variable information such as date, price and batch codes are printed onto the flexible film or label using thermal transfer technology, which can play a key role in track and traceability and food safety.
Why use thermal transfer technology in this application?
Advantages of thermal transfer technology include:
-High-resolution printing: Using high-resolution TTO thermal transfer printheads and ribbons, logos, graphics and barcodes can be printed, along with standard batch and expiration date information.
Suitable for flexible film packaging: Thermal transfer technology is particularly well suited to the flexible film packaging commonly found in the food industry, creating high-resolution, easy-to-read codes on packages while maintaining the organoleptic quality of the packaging film.
-Economic solution: Thermal transfer coders (TTOs) can be easily programmed for quick message changes, reducing the downtime and effort involved in changing moulds and rollers. Also, ribbon savings are achieved by controlling ribbon position.
-Real-time Printing of Variable Data: As a digital printing solution, the Thermal Transfer Coder is equipped with real-time clock function and I/O communication, enabling unique data, such as time stamps, to be printed on each package, enhancing product traceability.
-Improved Productivity: Thermal transfer technology can print directly on packaging materials without the need for additional labels, significantly improving productivity and reducing costs.
-Durability: Thermal transfer printed labels are highly resistant to abrasion, sunlight and chemicals, making them suitable for long-term display and use.
-Reduced Maintenance Costs: Using thermal transfer technology saves on maintenance costs and reduces downtime due to code changes, as well as the time spent on code changes.
-Adaptability: Thermal transfer technology can be adapted to the needs of different production lines, whether intermittent or continuous, to complete the print job.
-Wide range of applications: Thermal transfer technology is suitable for all kinds of soft and thin material packaging labels or smooth card surface, in a variety of packaging materials can achieve accurate coding.
-Environmental protection: Thermal transfer printing technology meets the green printing standard without environmental pollution, which is an environmentally friendly printing technology.
Flexible Packaging Printing Solution:
Thermal transfer technology, with its adaptability, has become the choice for flexible packaging to greatly improve production efficiency. Thermal transfer printing gives you the flexibility to customise all your packaging with the ability to mark all logos, numbers, barcodes and characters.
You can use thermal transfer ribbons to prevent print content from changing or disappearing, and to make your packaging resistant to abrasion, stains, handling, freezing, steam, heat and chemicals.
