In food packaging, it is essential to apply information such as production date, expiry date, batch number, lot number, barcode and QR code clearly, readably and permanently. Especially in pasta, pulses and nut packaging, marking is one of the critical steps of the production line in terms of both traceability and consumer trust.

Teknoprint UV laser marking technology enables clean, permanent and reliable coding directly on packaging surfaces. Operating without ribbon, ink or labels, this system offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for modern food production facilities.

What Is UV Laser Marking?

UV laser marking is an advanced technology that performs contactless coding on packaging surfaces. The laser beam creates a precise effect on the packaging material, allowing the required information to be marked clearly and accurately.

This technology is especially preferred for plastic films, labels, carton packaging, coated surfaces and flexible food packaging. With the right packaging material and proper process settings, it provides highly readable, smudge-resistant and professional marking quality.

Why Use UV Laser for Pasta, Pulses and Nut Packaging?

Food packaging lines usually operate at high speeds. Therefore, the marking system must keep up with production speed while maintaining consistent print quality.

Teknoprint UV laser systems can be safely used on pasta packages, pulses such as lentils, chickpeas and beans, as well as nut packages such as hazelnuts, almonds and cashews.

The following information can be applied directly onto the package:

Production date, expiry date, best-before date, lot number, batch code, barcode, QR code, GS1 codes and traceability information.

No Ribbon Usage, Lower Consumable Costs

Traditional thermal transfer printing systems require ribbon. This creates consumable costs and may also cause production stops due to ribbon replacement.

UV laser marking systems do not use ribbon. As a result:

Consumable requirements are reduced, production downtime is minimized, waste volume decreases and operating costs become easier to control.

Permanent Marking Without Smudging Problems

In food packaging, the code must remain readable throughout transportation, storage and shelf life. Ink or ribbon-based printing may face smudging, fading or removal problems due to friction, handling or external factors.

Teknoprint UV laser technology creates a permanent mark on the packaging surface, improving code durability. This provides an important advantage for product traceability and brand reliability.

Environmentally Friendly Packaging Marking

UV laser marking supports a more sustainable production approach by reducing the need for consumables. Since it eliminates ribbon waste, ink cartridges and solvent consumption, it contributes to environmentally friendly production goals.

For food manufacturers, it creates a cleaner, more organized and lower-waste marking infrastructure.

Safe and Clean Food Marking Solution

For dry food products such as pasta, pulses and nuts, packaging quality directly affects brand perception. Clear and professional coding increases product reliability.

Teknoprint UV laser systems perform marking without mechanical contact with the package. This offers a clean and controlled solution, especially for sensitive packaging materials.

Conclusion: Permanent Coding for Modern Food Packaging

Choosing the right marking technology for pasta, pulses and nut packaging is highly important for production efficiency, traceability, cost control and brand security.

Teknoprint UV laser marking solutions offer a strong alternative for food packaging lines with their ribbon-free operation, permanent coding quality, environmentally friendly approach and reliable marking advantages.
