Food safety issues are quite prominent in our country. Beyond management problems, the inability to trace the origin of food is a major concern. Take fruits, for example. With some imported or higher-priced local fruits, vendors often attach labels indicating origin and brand to differentiate them as part of brand awareness. However, these labels can be removed and even counterfeited. A better solution is to engrave marks directly on the fruit skin, leaving no room for forgery. This is what we will discuss today.LaserFruit Labeling.

The EU has recently ruled that fruit merchants can utilize lasers along with iron oxide and hydroxide to mark fruit skins, making the laser engravings more visible without penetrating the peel. This technology can not only label the country of origin but also include information such as QR codes and barcodes.

SK Hilas has developed a machine capable of engraving labels on fruits, which can mark tens of thousands of fruits per minute.

Since laser fruit labels are directly engraved on the peel surface without the need for packaging materials like glue, paper, or plastic, they help reduce environmental pollution. Additionally, as mentioned at the beginning of the article, the labels are etched onto the fruit peel, making counterfeiting far from simple.
