Food labels for food & beverages

Low migration and food compliant - labels for foodstuffs

The right label for food packaging – from HERMA

Food packages are as varied as the contents that go into them: thes may be made of paper, cardboard, various films, plastic, glass and metal. The right food label is also an important factor when food is transported in crates and boxes or on pallets. The application of labels to food and packaging takes place under difficult conditions.The products may have moist and cold surfaces or already be deep-frozen. Some products are cooled after hot filling. Depending on the food, the surfaces can also be greasy.

These are major challenges for food labels.

High labelling speeds and non-contact labelling (blow-on process) - a food-safe label must be able to cope with all of this. This requires food labels with high-performance pressure-sensitive adhesive, matched to the respective labelling requirements, and it is especially important that the labels are food-safe.

To learn more about the features and benefits of our labels for food labelling or about specific product solutions for this industry,  follow the links below to the product pages. You will also find practical examples of labels for the food industry and freezer labels in the "Solutions" section. Or use our contact form - we will be glad to advise you on food labels.

 

Labels for food - food-safe and "low migration"

A particularly important aspect for food-safe labels is the use of "low migration" pressure-sensitive adhesives, label materials, printing inks and varnishes. Especially when packaging made of film is used as food packaging, which does not offer a sufficient barrier function. Here, food labels are required that have the appropriate approvals and clearances for this application.

From our wide range of food-grade materials from our own adhesive material production, we will find the right and  favourably priced solution for your food labels and food stickers. In blank, for the printing methods direct thermal printer, thermal transfer printer or laser printer, e.g. with best-before date. The manufacturer can also print nutritional values as part of the regulations for nutritional labelling and other important information for the consumer individually in this way. Or printed with "low migration" inks - this is how food-safe labels are produced in classical flexographic printing; or in digital printing of small print runs with a high variety of articles,  in your desired format.

Our adhesive materials for food labels

  • have BfR and FDA certification
  • have ISEGA approval for use with fatty foodstuffs.

 

Adhesive labels are also finding increasing use in the beverage and wine industries, as self-adhesive bottle labels. Labels for wines and spirits nowadays make use of a vast range of decorative papers and moisture-resistant adhesives. Six-packs, wine boxes, beverage crates and pallets are labelled by logistics specialists to ensure a reliable flow of goods in the logistics of the food and beverage industry.
