Food products with self-adhesive labels on a production line

Food Industry

ISO 22000 certified label production.

A label on a food product has to survive cold storage, moisture, and handling, be safe for food contact, and look on the shelf exactly the way the brand manager intended. From the first label in a run to the millionth.

Industry Requirements

What the Food Industry Requires from a Label.

Every food product places specific demands on its label, from storage temperature to the regulations of the market where it's sold.

Food Contact Safety ISO 22000 substance migration control
Resistance to Cold Storage and Moisture -25°C to condensation at room temperature
Machine Application on the Line Precise die-cutting, stable adhesive
Nutritional Declaration and Facts Legible, compliant, complete
Consistent Print Across the Run First label = millionth label
Premium Shelf Appearance Cold foil, UV coating, embossing
Multilingual Declaration for Export Multilayer label
FSC Paper for Sustainable Brands Responsibly sourced materials
Your Challenges, Our Solutions

Three Problems You're Facing

01 Your Challenge
The label comes loose in cold storage, and the customer complains the product looks unacceptable. After condensation, the colors fade and the text becomes illegible.

PP Synthetic with Deep-Freeze Adhesive and UV Print Protection

PP material doesn't absorb moisture, deep-freeze adhesive holds its bond at -25°C, and UV coating protects the print from condensation. We test it on your packaging before the production run.

Deep Freeze PP Synthetic UV Coating
Frozen (-18°C to -25°C)Vegetables, ready meals, ice cream, frozen meat. PP doesn't become brittle, crack, or change dimensions at low temperatures.
Chilled (2°C to 8°C)Dairy, salads, juices. The adhesive stays stable through cooling and warming cycles, and UV coating protects the print from condensation.
Wet EnvironmentsBottles on ice in display cases. Reinforced adhesive for wet surfaces, with lamination for complete water protection of the print.
We send a sample roll for your packaging. You test it under real conditions before the full order.
02 Your Challenge
The declaration with ingredients, allergens, and nutritional facts doesn't fit on the label. We export to three countries and need everything in three languages.

Multilayer Label with an Extra Layer for More Languages

The brand on the outside, supplementary text on the extra layer underneath. One label for more markets, one SKU, less risk of the wrong version going out.

Multilayer Open-Close MPS EF 340
EU RegulationsNutritional values per 100g, allergens (bold), expiration date, origin. Multilayer gives you extra room for compliance without shrinking the font.
Open-Close AlternativePeel-and-reveal with up to 4 panels. For two languages, or for additional recipes and instructions on small packaging.
MPS EF 340 Cross-OverThe extra layer is integrated into the label in a single pass. A finished roll ready for your applicator, no separate operation needed.
One SKU for multiple markets instead of a separate label for each version. Less administration, fewer mistakes.
03 Your Challenge
The colors on the rolls don't match the proof, the adhesive shifts on the line, and die-cutting isn't precise on curved bottles.

Star Proof, Servo Register, Adhesive Matched to Your Line

Star Proof simulates the flexo print. The servo register holds color position throughout the entire run. We select the adhesive based on your packaging and line speed. A sample roll before the production run.

Star Proof Servo Register Sample Roll
Calibrated Star ProofYou approve colors and positioning before printing begins. Repeat runs use the saved settings for an identical result.
Servo RegisterAutomatic real-time correction of color positioning. The first label matches the millionth. Critical for pictograms and small text.
Adhesive Matched to PackagingGlass, PET, HDPE, each surface requires a different adhesive. We test it on a sample roll before the full production run.
Rotary die-cutting with precise edges. For curved surfaces without wrinkles or bubbles.

PP synthetic material with a deep-freeze adhesive. It doesn't absorb moisture, doesn't become brittle at low temperatures, and holds its adhesion from -25°C to room temperature. UV coating protects the print from condensation. For frozen products, this is the only reliable solution, since a paper label with a standard adhesive can't withstand those conditions.

Yes, if the material and adhesive are matched to your cold chain. PP synthetic with a deep-freeze adhesive is designed for cycles: from the freezer to the refrigerated case, from the case to the customer's bag, from the bag to the home refrigerator. The adhesive stays stable through all temperature changes. We test on a sample roll under your actual conditions before the full run.

It depends on the bottle material and the application conditions. For glass bottles with condensation, we use a reinforced permanent adhesive. For PET bottles with a smooth surface, a standard permanent adhesive. For HDPE with a slight texture, an adhesive with stronger initial tack. We select the adhesive for your specific packaging and test it on a sample roll before the run.

A multilayer label with an extra layer beneath the main label. From the outside, it looks like a standard label with your brand and design. The extra layer provides space for the declaration in additional languages. It's produced on the MPS EF 340 machine with the Cross-Over unit in a single pass. For two languages, an open-close label with up to 4 panels is enough.

Yes. Flexo printing with up to 9 colors on our MPS machines reproduces the nutritional values table with precise lines, bold allergen markings, and small text that stays legible. The prepress team checks that the font size meets the minimum regulatory requirements before printing.

Yes. The front side carries the brand, cold foil metallic accents, selective UV coating, or embossing for a premium look on the shelf. The back side carries the complete declaration. Or a multilayer label, where the outside has the premium design and the extra layer carries the complete declaration. All in one roll, one pass on the machine.

Yes. Production is certified to ISO 22000 (food safety), certificate FS-0008, valid through January 10, 2027. That means a controlled process that monitors contamination, substance migration from the label material, and hygiene practices on the plant floor. It's verified through an annual external audit.

We run a Star Proof that's calibrated to simulate the flexo print on the specific material. You approve the colors, text, and positions before the machine starts. The servo register on our MPS machines automatically holds color position throughout the entire run. Repeat runs use the saved settings for an identical result. If a deviation still occurs, we resolve it before delivery.

For standard graphic labels, 5 to 7 business days from Star Proof approval. For repeat runs with no design changes, 3 to 5 business days. For multilayer and special constructions, 7 to 10 business days. Six machines in operation means your order doesn't wait in line. Seasonal peaks are absorbed without extending lead times.

A design file or product description, label dimensions, packaging type (bottle, jar, box, pouch), application conditions (freezer, moisture, room temperature), quantity, and delivery deadline. If you have additional requirements such as a multilingual declaration or FSC paper, mention it in your inquiry. You'll receive a quote with a per-unit price within 24 hours.
