Frozen food coding & marking

Laser coding for Best Before

Roll on Label Applicator

Frozen Food

Coding frozen food packaging has obvious environmental challenges of ice and water, and making the code legible and indelible. If the requirement is labelling, then the label must adhere well in this environment.

Barcoding and traceability needs are the most common in this industry, printing onto a variety of substrates: plastic film (hand-held ice creams), plastic tubs (family-size ice cream and frozen yoghurt) and cardboard (generally as secondary packaging).

Matthews can provide a tailored solution for your frozen food business and its needs. Browse through the technology links on this page, or call us on 1300 CODING to discuss your unique circumstances. You can also e-mail us to ask questions about what will suit you: tap into our experience with multi-national, frozen food companies, Australia wide.

Technologies for barcoding, labelling, date coding, batch coding frozen foods

Label Applicator (LA)

Label Applicator (LA) labelling systems apply pre-printed pressure-sensitive labels onto products.

Label Printer Applicator (LPA)

LPA prints onto thermal transfer labels or thermal direct labels, then automatically applies those labels to an item. Ideal for printing barcode labels.

Large Character Drop On Demand (DOD)

DOD inkjet printers, most suited to printing on to secondary packaging, are simple to operate, require minimal maintenance and are very robust and reliable.

Small Character Continuous Inkjet (CIJ)

CIJ is a non-contact printing technology that can be used for coding on a variety of substrates even at high line speeds.

Vision Systems

Matthews has a range of vision systems for automated production processes for inspection, guidance, identification, measurement, tracking and counting - in many diverse industries.
