Within the highly competitive food, beverage, and packaging industry in South Africa, packaging is the eye-catching bridge between brand and consumer. From snack packets to condiment jars, coding and labelling need to be fast, accurate, and reliable. 

With over 55 years of experience, Pyrotec PackMark delivers industrial food packaging machines from world-leading brands like Markem-Imaje, ALTech, and Anser, ensuring production lines run smoothly and products meet the highest standards.  

Meeting FMCG Challenges 

The food packaging industry faces tight deadlines, short shelf lives, and growing consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging in South Africa’s food industry. Add in compliance requirements and traceability, and there’s no room for error.  

Pyrotec PackMark provides the coding, labelling, and inspection solutions that FMCG manufacturers need to stay competitive in a dog-eat-dog industry. 

Primary Coders & Labellers for FMCG 

At the heart of FMCG packaging are our primary coders, ensuring every product leaves the line with the right information, in the right place.  

PackMark offers a full range, including: 

• Continuous Inkjet Coders (CIJ): Perfect for high-speed printing on films and foils used in snack packaging or convenience foods. 
• Thermal Inkjet Coders (TIJ): Deliver sharp, high-resolution prints for barcodes, batch codes, and regulatory information. 
• Thermal Transfer Overprinters (TTO): Ideal for flexible packaging films in bakery or condiment applications, providing durable and accurate prints. 
• Laser Coders: Clean, permanent marks without consumables — excellent for sustainability-minded brands. 
• Portable & Handheld Coders: Versatile solutions for on-the-go or small-batch production needs. 

Other PackMark Technologies in Action 

Secondary Coders & Labellers 

For cartons, trays, and boxes, large character high-resolution printers provide durable, easy-to-read text and graphics. This keeps convenience food products moving smoothly down the line while maintaining clarity at scale. 

Tertiary Coders & Labellers 

At the pallet stage, PackMark’s print-and-apply labelling systems ensure entire shipments are coded accurately for 24/7 operations. This adds efficiency and traceability to bulk FMCG distribution. 

Labelling Systems 

Our ALTech high-speed labellers, PackWrap applicators, and ALwind/ALcount systems ensure precise, consistent label placement; vital in the bakery, condiments, and convenience food sectors where shelf impact can make or break a sale. After all, if your hot sauce label is skewed, your customer might think your recipe is too... 

Together, these industrial food packaging machines allow FMCG producers to adapt to different substrates, from film for packaging food industry items like crisps to foil for packaging food industry goods such as sauces, while maintaining accuracy and speed.
