New printers and labellers from Sato

Sato printerSato has introduced two new printing and labelling solutions for the food industry.

The new TH2 All in Box is a ready-to-use pack which includes a TH2 printer and labels so users can start labelling quickly while meeting stringent food preparation and labelling regulations. The new Judo Food handheld labeller is a flexible labelling solution enabling users to improve food security.

From December 2014, new law on food traceability will be compulsory throughout Europe. As part of the regulations, food manufacturers must inform consumers of the origin of fresh meat, fruits and vegetables as well as the presence of allergens and glutens. Manufacturers will also need to specify if a product has been defrosted previously, and apply a minimal size of print font to allow for easier reading. Sato’s new solutions are ideal for printing labels enabling food manufacturers to meet these new requirements.

The TH2 printer offers portable, standalone, intelligent printing and is particularly suited to quick-serve restaurants, to print labels for ingredient preparation in the kitchen, as well as final product labels detailing ingredients, packaging date, use-by date, price and barcode.

The Judo Food handheld labeller has been designed to meet the needs of those in the food industry and is available with 13 pre-designed texts such as ‘cooked on’, ‘defrosted on’, ‘storage temperature’ and ‘best before’. This gives the user increased flexibility and choice, and they can make time and cost savings associated with purchasing many different types of label.
