Coding, Labelling, Inspection in the Fresh Produce Industry

Fresh Produce
 

Take advantage of our many years of experience working with the Fresh Produce industry to streamline your coding, labelling and inspection processes, and drive more productivity and better quality levels for your organisation.

Matthews helps you overcome unique challenges of the Fresh Produce industry:

  • Short shelf life: You need reliable equipment that will not let you down and a partner who is available to support you when and where you need it
  • Seasonality of produce: You need flexible equipment and solutions that can code, label, weigh a range of produce
  • New laws introduced to protect consumers: You need solutions that are future proof and can adapt to meet new requirements, e.g. country of origin labelling
  • Major supermarkets and distributors guidelines: You need to be able to meet specific labelling, coding and quality rules for supply chain efficiencies

With our help, you can confidently invest in the right coding, labelling and inspection systems for your unique processing environment and product.

 

Date coding

The most prevalent coding need in the fresh produce industry is date coding — Use-by dates — on plastic or film packaging. Barcodes are also often needed. The most common technology used in this industry is a thermal transfer overprinter (TTO). Barcode labels also need to be applied to packaged produce in punnets using Label Printer Applicators (LPA) or, in the case of pre-printed labels, Label Applicators (LA).

Matthews can install the coding equipment for where it suits your business on the production line; for instance, this may be in tandem with your form, fill and seal equipment.
