Recently, some citizens reported that they bought a box of food in the store and there is no production date on the outer box. In addition, according to reports, some of the food packaging boxes on the store are not labeled or marked. At present, the store has been issued a notice of responsibility for rectification on the spot, requiring operators to suspend business for rectification. Through this incident, it also brought vigilance to other food processing enterprises. In strict accordance with relevant regulations, the product label and logo should be affixed, and the date of manufacture, shelf life, address, and contact information should be indicated above to avoid unnecessary punishment.
As we all know, product labels are mainly stickers attached to products, including text, graphics, patterns, symbols and all descriptions. Generally, product labels are attached to the outside of the product or attached to the outside of the packaging container to describe important food-related information such as date of manufacture, weight, nutrients, ingredients, shelf life, origin, barcode, method of use, and Related license numbers and more. In addition, the "Food Safety Law" and "General Standard for Labelling of Prepackaged Foods" also make relevant provisions on product labels.
Among them, the "General Standard for Labels for Prepackaged Foods" also clearly stipulates the contents of the product labels. For example, the labels of the products are not deformed or peeled off. All contents should be clear, conspicuous and long-lasting. Do not use the size or color difference to mislead consumers. Direct or indirect suggestive language, graphics, symbols, etc. To this end, food processing companies must label them in strict accordance with the regulations, but also ensure that the labels of the products do not fall off, do not deform, and the contents of the labels should be clear, eye-catching and long-lasting.
There are user feedback, although the food label is affixed in strict accordance with the regulations, but the label deformation and shedding often occur, which is not conducive to consumers to obtain important information related to food, but also has a certain impact on corporate reputation and brand image. .
Then, what should food processing companies do for product labels that do not fall off or deform? The industry analysts believe that it can be started from two aspects, that is, replacement of labeling equipment, such as self-adhesive labeling machine; check the reasons for equipment tilting, falling off and solve in time.
Labeling machines are an indispensable part of the modern food packaging industry. However, traditional labeling equipment has certain problems, such as positive label, high rate of damage, easy to deform and fall off labels. With the rapid advancement of labeling technology, the self-adhesive labeling machine is more and more widely used because of its strong, beautiful, bubble-free, sticky, and does not fall off on its own.
“Since the use of self-adhesive labeling machine, it has improved the labeling rate, positive labeling rate, and reduced the rate of damage, while ensuring the quality of labeling, the label does not fall off.” Some manufacturers say.
Admittedly, it is necessary to consider that when the self-adhesive labeling machine is used, there will be a situation of “warping”, and it is necessary to find the cause and solve it in time to prevent the food label from falling off. According to a technician, “warping” is not a problem with the quality of the self-adhesive labeling machine. The reason may be that the label viscosity is not enough, the label material has poor ductility, and the electrostatic effect.
In this regard, the user should try to increase the viscosity of the label, control the temperature and strength of the labeling, and adopt the label material with good softness and ductility, as well as ensure the cleanliness of the workshop and reduce the generation of static electricity.
With the improvement of consumption levels, people continue to have an increasing awareness of food quality and safety, and labels are increasingly attracting consumers' attention as carriers that carry information about food quality and safety. Therefore, food processing companies strictly label the products in accordance with the relevant regulations, and also ensure that the labels of the products are durable and do not fall off.
