Direct Contact Printing on Food and Medicine

Direct contact printing for food and medicine plays an essential role in the communicating important expiration and traceability data whilst ensuring compliance with safety regulations for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Utilizing FDA-approved inks, this specialized printing process is designed to ensure that all information—be it expiration dates, nutritional facts, or batch codes—transferred onto edible products is done so without compromising consumer health. The inks are formulated to be non-toxic and safe for consumption, adhering to rigorous health standards.

Where transparency is paramount, direct contact printing for food and medicine provides a crucial link between manufacturers and consumers, allowing for informed choices and trust in the products being used. Whether applied to an eggshell, or a medicinal tablet, this printing method is a testament to the industry’s commitment to safety, quality, and the well-being of end-users. Videojet’s continuous inkjet (CIJ) can help promote brands by printing directly on food and medicine, whilst Videojet’s CO₂ laser solutions can mark onto complex packaging types like egg cartons – both ensuring high code quality standards.
