Creating the text and images that appear on food packaging and labels, from full-color carton graphics to the tiny date code on a bottle cap. Beyond marketing appeal, food printing carries mandatory information: ingredients, allergens, nutrition facts, net quantity, origin, and durability dates must all be accurate and legible. The industry uses flexography, gravure, offset, and digital presses for packaging, plus inline coders for variable data. Ink safety is regulated for food contact, with low-migration formulations required where print might reach the product, and quality systems verify every label against approved artwork.
