Food and beverage manufacturers face some of the most difficult printing environments of any industry. Fast line speeds, the growing demand for variable content, and small batch productions can complicate online product coding operations. In addition, condensation on packaging often caused by temperature changes during filling, shipping and the rest of the product lifecycle, can pose challenges for some manufacturers as they apply best-by dates, bar codes and other information directly onto cartons, pouches, bottles, cans, kegs and other food and beverage packaging.
