Digital Pouch Printing Machine
Digital pouch printing is an innovative method of packaging that combines functionality with visual appeal. It plays a crucial role in the world of flexible packaging. This technique allows brands to create customized pouches that are both attractive and practical.
Printing and marking clear, accurate information on products is essential for manufacturers. Linx manufactures pouch printing machine for printing expiration dates, best-before dates (BBD), manufacturing dates, MPR and batch codes. Pouches are widely used in the dairy, food, and agricultural industries—including fertiliser, pesticide, and seed pouch coding—requiring high-resolution, food-safe coding solutions.
What is Primary Packaging in Pouch Printing?
Pouches are a form of primary packaging as they hold and protect the product, as well as have direct contact with the manufactured goods. Pouches are used in many different industries from dairy and food to chemical agriculturally based industries such as fertilisers, pesticides, and seed pouch coding. This sort of packaging comes in many different forms which need to be taken into consideration when coding, whether they are aluminium foil bags, plastic film bags or other materials.
Printing on Pouches
Various information and codes need to be made visible on primary packaging and it is usually regulated by the legislation of the specific country the product is sold in. The reason for these codes is to provide information to the consumer and identification of the product.
With years of expertise in coding and marking, we understand the unique challenges of pouch printing—such as difficult surfaces (grease, oil, and humidity), small print areas, and tight production line integration. Our Digital Pouch Printing Machine has been specifically designed to meet these challenges.
