For the fruit "tattoo" Spain developed laser label technology

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on October 18th, a Spanish company has developed a new technology that can be laser-labeled on the skin of vegetables and fruits like a tattoo. The contents can include price, trademark and latest. Sales date, etc. This technology is more environmentally friendly than traditional paper label technology.

It is understood that the equipment is developed by a Spanish company, and apples, bananas, citrus and other fruits can be applied. At present, the technology has been applied in the French Lok Fu supermarket, and a melon sold for it is printed with the trademark of Carrefour. In addition, the company also hopes that the major supermarkets in the UK will be able to use this technology to label the vegetables with laser labels before the end of this year. Other foods will also use laser labels next year.

The company's CEO, Jamie Sanfiniks, said that laser tags do not require paper, ink or glue and are therefore more environmentally friendly than traditional paper labels. At the same time, the use of laser tags can help retailers better control the sale of goods. For example, retailers use lasers to date on the latest sales date to better manage the perishable food on their shelves and to quickly and easily expire. Food is evacuated from the shelves.

Laser label technology has entered Japan and other countries, and the US Sunkist Fruit Farmers Company intends to introduce the technology into the United States and name it “Natural Light Label”. Adrian Barlow, CEO of the British apple and pear company, said that laser labeling technology will have great potential in the UK. But he also warned that the accuracy and legitimacy of laser tag technology and consumer awareness of the technology is very important, and consumers need to be convinced that the technology does not affect the natural state of the food. However, the laser food company said that market research shows that consumers will be more willing to choose laser label technology instead of traditional paper label technology.
