Printing on food packaging — a solution for the food industry

Personalized paper packaging is one of the strongest brand signals in the food industry. Instead of ordering large print runs from a print shop, businesses increasingly print packaging in-house, on demand. The JetLT lineup includes a dedicated paper packaging printer built for this purpose.

What can you print?

• Cardboard boxes for confectionery products
• Paper toppers (cake decorations, coffee cup covers)
• Food-safe paper with logos (taco, sandwich wraps)
• Labels on product packaging
• Promotional cards for events or gifts

Why print in-house?

A business that owns a food printer can change designs without additional ordering costs. This matters for seasonal projects (Easter, Christmas), bespoke requests (wedding wraps) or delivery campaigns (logos on coffee).

• Small batches — from 1 piece, no minimum order required.
• Fast turnaround — from design to packaging in hours.
• Cost per print from €0.02.
• Can be paired with a cake printer for an integrated solution.

Technical specs

The JetLT paper packaging printer uses the same certified food-contact CMYK inks. Printing is direct on the paper surface, which can then contact food. Print quality up to 300 DPI, supports common formats (A4, A3 and custom sizes).

Who is this for?

Personalized packaging is especially useful for confectioneries, restaurants, gift studios and event organizers. It is not only a brand signal but also added value for the customer — the order feels "gift-ready".

Safety considerations

Because packaging contacts food directly, it is critical to use food-certified inks. JetLT uses only CMYK inks compliant with EU Regulation 1333/2008 on food additives — the same as for printing on food itself.

How much does it cost?

The JetLT printer starts at €1,600. Package includes printer, inks, initial training, 12-month warranty. Want a packaging solution for your business? Get in touch and we will advise on the right model for your packaging type.
