India is one of the leading producers and consumers of dairy, and the industry is growing with every passing day. It is also one of the most challenging of all food industries when it comes to coding and marking solutions.

The manufacturing and production of milk is a continuous and everyday process, irrespective of weekends or seasons. Dairy cows keep producing milk every day; therefore, dairy factories must operate 365 days a year without a break. Unique coding and marking related challenges faced include cold atmosphere, high moisture content, a layer of condensation coating, and year-round operations. Control Print recommends three printers that are suitable for packaging products in the Dairy Industry.

Control Print’s Thermal Inkjet Printers are the ideal choice, with liquid pouches, and can offer various advantages in the Dairy Industry.
