Bakery Coding and Marking
Coding and marking on baked goods are essential for ensuring food safety, traceability, and regulatory compliance. From dusty bakery environments to a wide variety of packaging types, coding systems must be durable, versatile, and accurate. Linx printers help ensure first-time code accuracy with simple setup, reliable print quality, and robust performance—even in tough production conditions.
With little chance to rework or recode baked products, first-time code accuracy is important; this includes error-free code setup as well as code legibility and durability during end-use. Linx Baked Goods Labelling Machines are easy to use without complicated menu systems, making code setup and selection quick and simple.
As the baked goods industry experiences more product diversification – such as healthier, sugar and gluten-free options – so the packaging requirements become broader, meaning your coding equipment must keep up with the changes.

Use of Baked Goods Labelling Machine
The importance of bakery coding and marking cannot be overstated in today’s food industry. Here are some key points:
- Ingredient & Nutritional Labelling: Help consumers make informed decisions, especially for dietary restrictions.
- Expiry and Best-Before Dates: Ensure shelf life visibility and food safety.
- Traceability: Implementing barcodes or QR codes on packaging allows bakeries to track their products throughout the supply chain. This is crucial for identifying the origin of a product in case of recalls or quality issues.
- Allergen Labeling: Highlighting common allergens (like gluten, nuts, dairy, etc.) in the coding and marking process is essential for consumer safety, especially for those with food allergies.
- Production Date and Time: Marking the production date and time helps bakeries maintain quality control and manage inventory more effectively, ensuring that older products are sold first.
- Batch Number Identification: Assigning batch numbers allows bakeries to monitor production runs, ensuring quality control and facilitating recall procedures if necessary.
Bakery Coding and Marking Printers
CIJ Printers for Bakery Coding and Marking
Perhaps the most cost-effective Baked Goods Coding and Marking Solutions. They are versatile and can print on various surfaces, including plastic and paper, making them ideal for labeling baked goods.
A wide range of inks are available to use with CIJ printers including coloured inks to ensure legibility on any colour substrate, UV-readable inks for anti-counterfeiting or water-removable inks for internal traceability, adding yet another dimension to the coding process.
Laser Printers for Bakery Coding and Marking
