What inkjet printer is used for food and beverage packaging inkjet printing

Food and beverage packaging materials include plastic, glass, metal, cartons and other types. Food and beverage inkjet printers refer to inkjet equipment that can print text, patterns and other content on the above materials. Food and beverage inkjet printers include: small characters Inkjet printers, laser marking machines, high-resolution inkjet printers (UV inkjet printers and thermal foam inkjet printers), etc. For food and beverage packaging, markings such as production date are extremely important. In addition, with the acceleration of the construction of the national anti-counterfeiting traceability system, more and more food companies have begun to print anti-counterfeiting traceability barcodes on product packaging in order to solve the problems of anti-counterfeiting and anti-counterfeiting traceability in product production and sales. 1. The small character inkjet printer uses the charged deflection of the ink to deflect the ink dots out of the normal flight path, and shoots them to the surface of the target printing material to form a dot matrix, thereby forming characters, numbers or graphics. Small characters are mainly used for simple digital coding such as production date and batch number, such as printing production date on beverage bottle caps. Application industries include food, beverage, and packaging industries. In the food and beverage industry, for example, bottle body printing date and batch number, small character inkjet printers are widely used. The ink drying speed is faster, the printing distance is longer, and the material requirements are also very low. However, the resolution of small character inkjet printers is not high, and the limitations are large. The dotted non-solid fonts are printed out. 2. The laser marking machine software controls the deflection of the laser beam, and uses the high temperature of the laser to directly burn the surface of the product to be marked or break the molecular chain of the substance through the laser to form text or patterns. Laser marking machines have a wide range of applications. Most metal products will choose to use laser marking machines to mark text and patterns. The application industries include food, beverages, and packaging industries. The laser marking machine does not require frequent replacement of consumables, it is more environmentally friendly than using ink, the marking effect is clearer than small characters, and the marking is permanently difficult to be tampered with, but the marking speed is slow when the content is large, and it is not suitable for printing high-precision bar code information. 3. High-resolution inkjet printers High-resolution inkjet printers include UV inkjet printers and thermal foam inkjet printers. UV inkjet printers refer to piezoelectric inkjet printers that use UV ink to print. Piezoelectric inkjet printers are consistent. Using the characteristic of piezoelectric crystal deformation, UV ink jets fall on the surface of moving objects to form a dot matrix, thereby forming characters and patterns. The nozzle of the thermal foaming inkjet printer adopts semiconductor thin film technology, and uses laser manufacturing process and high-precision deep layer technology to form a number of extremely small nozzle holes. These nozzle holes are arranged in high density. The inkjet is energized and heated by thin film resistors to produce ink Numerous tiny bubbles, the bubbles gather into large bubbles at a very fast speed and expand, forcing ink droplets to be ejected from the nozzle; when the resistor has no voltage, it stops heating and no ink droplets are ejected. High-resolution inkjet printers mainly print high-precision content, such as high-quality two-dimensional codes, barcodes, traceability codes, UDI codes, anti-counterfeiting codes, etc., which are widely used in food, medicine, daily chemicals, label printing, card printing, and packaging Printing, medical, electronics, hardware and other industries. In terms of printing quality, UV inkjet printers have better results, and the cost of consumables is much lower than that of thermal foam inkjet printers, which is suitable for large-scale mass production. Summary: In the food and beverage industry, if you only need to print the third phase of the content, you can choose any of the inkjet printers; if you need to print barcode information, you can choose a laser marking machine or a high-resolution inkjet printer; if the company pursues For production efficiency (fast production line speed) or the product needs to be printed with more content, it is recommended to use a high-resolution UV inkjet printer.
