一、 Key points of the new regulations: Coding must be "clear, tamper-proof, and easy to trace"

The 2025 "Food Labeling Supervision and Management Measures" (hereinafter referred to as the "New Regulations") was issued in March and will be implemented on March 16, 2027. It puts forward three rigid requirements for food coding:

1. Character specification: The font height of key information such as production date and shelf life is >3mm (small package >2mm), and it needs to form a high contrast with the background (such as black text on a white background) to ensure clarity and readability;

2. Fixed position: An independent coding area is set on the main display surface of the package, and it must not be mixed with other information; if the area is not on the main page, it must be clearly marked "see a certain part of the package" for easy search;

3. Firm labeling: The marked production date and shelf life labels are not easy to fall off, and are waterproof and oil-proof, and have strong friction resistance.


二、Three major pain points of traditional inkjet coding:

1. Characters are blurred and difficult to identify:

Some inkjet codes have insufficient adhesion and are easy to fall off when encountering condensation, oil stains or friction.

2. Hidden and difficult to find:

According to reports, the inkjet codes of some pre-packaged foods are located in hidden locations such as the inside of the bottle cap and the folds of the packaging, which require a specific angle or strong light to be identified, which does not meet the new regulations' requirement of "easy to find the main display surface".

3. Insufficient traceability:

Traditional inkjet coding can only display a single date and cannot be associated with production batches and flow data, resulting in companies having to invest high costs to transform the traceability system.

三、CYCJET equipment accurately adapts to the requirements of the new regulations

1. B400i small character inkjet printer: a "stabilizer" for high-speed production line compliance

Core advantages:

·Single-line speed up to 280m/min high-speed printing, suitable for high-speed production lines such as instant noodles, beverages, and dairy products;

·Intelligent ink viscosity adjustment to ensure stable printing quality and uniform 3mm character height;

·Compatible with a variety of inks, including high adhesion, etc., to meet the printing needs of common packaging materials such as plastics and paper, as well as the low-temperature resistance requirements of frozen foods.

2.CO2 laser coding machine: the first choice for permanent marking without consumables

Core advantages:

·Non-contact laser etching, the marking will never fall off;

·Metal/non-metal, adjustable marking depth, different models have different precision and printing effects, the marking is permanent and clear in scenes such as cans, beverage bottles, and aluminum food packaging;

·CO2 and fiber laser machines have an ultra-long life of 100,000 hours, low maintenance costs, and reduced downtime losses.

3. HP online inkjet printer: soft packaging coding expert

Core advantages:

·Carbon ribbon drive technology: transfers the carbon ribbon ink to the packaging surface through high temperature, with strong adhesion, friction resistance and low temperature resistance;

·Fixed printing position: specially designed for soft film, label paper and composite film, used with pillow packaging machine, the printing position can be strictly fixed, such as food packaging bags, daily chemical labels, etc.;

·Large area printing: printing speed 60m/min, printing height 12.7-150mm (1-6 nozzles can be combined and spliced at will), suitable for printing large-area food composition tables, energy tables, etc., the edges of the printed fonts are sharp, and 2mm small characters are still clearly legible.



四、Software and hardware collaboration: building a full-link compliance system

1. Visual inspection system: DOCOD AI

Recognize defects such as missing codes, ghosting, and position offsets at the millisecond level, and can be equipped with an optional rejection device to automatically exclude defective products, with the defect rate reduced to less than 0.1%.

2. One-to-one code control system

Generate a unique traceability code for each product, linking production date, batch, flow direction and other data, supporting consumers to scan the code for authenticity verification, and helping companies build an anti-counterfeiting traceability system.

The implementation of the new regulations is not only a compliance requirement, but also an important opportunity for enterprises to improve their quality control capabilities and win the trust of consumers.
