What should the food and beverage industry pay attention to when using small rolls of heat-sensitive label paper?

When the food and beverage industry uses small rolls of thermal label paper, it needs to pay attention to the following aspects to ensure the accuracy and compliance of the label, while ensuring the quality and safety of the product:

First, label content specification

1.Compliance with regulatory requirements: the label content must strictly comply with the national and relevant industry labeling requirements for food and beverage products, including but not limited to product name, ingredient list, net content, production date, shelf life, manufacturer information, etc.

2.Clear and easy to read: the text, symbols and graphics on the label should be clear, brief and eye-catching to ensure that consumers can easily recognize and read when buying and eating.

3.Use standard Chinese characters: The characters used on the label must be standard Chinese characters, and can be used at the same time in Chinese Pinyin (the spelling must be correct and not larger than the corresponding Chinese characters), ethnic minority languages, and foreign languages (must have a strict correspondence with Chinese characters and not larger than the corresponding Chinese characters).

Second, label material selection

1.Food safety: The small roll of thermal label paper selected must ensure that it is non-toxic and harmless, and will not produce harmful substances when in direct contact with food to ensure food safety.

2.Durability: Considering the storage and transportation conditions that food and beverage products may experience, the label paper should have a certain durability, can keep the information clear and readable for a certain period of time, and is not easy to fade or fall off.

Third, printing and storage management

1.Print quality: Ensure that the printing device is in good condition and the printing parameters (such as printing speed and printing spacing) are set correctly to ensure clear and accurate label printing quality.

2.Storage environment: The small roll of heat-sensitive label paper should be stored in a dry, ventilated and dust-free environment, to avoid moisture, heat, exposure or contact with acid and alkaline substances, in order to prevent the printing effect and service life of the label.

3.Validity period management: Pay attention to the validity period or the best use period of the label paper, and avoid using expired or degraded label paper.

Fourth, special precautions

1.Bpa problem: Some thermal paper may contain chemical substances such as BPA, although modern production processes have greatly reduced the content of these substances, but still need to pay attention to and choose low BPA or no BPA thermal label paper as much as possible.

2.Phosphor problem: Avoid choosing thermal paper with too much phosphor added to the surface, so as not to pose a potential risk to consumer health. The whiteness of normal thermal paper should be moderate and even, and should not be too exaggerated.

3.Handling after use: Clean your hands promptly after using the thermal label, and avoid prolonged contact or contact of the label with food or mouth, in case of emergency.

To sum up, the food and beverage industry should comprehensively consider the standardization of label content, the safety of materials, the scientific management of printing and storage, and the compliance of special precautions when using small rolls of thermal label paper. By strictly controlling these links, we can ensure the accuracy and compliance of the label, thus ensuring the quality and safety of the product.
