TS-Plus Food Labelling Pack – Professional Food Labelling System
The TS-Plus Food Labelling Pack is a professional food labelling system designed for warehouse-based food manufacturers, packing facilities, importers, distributors, bakeries, farm shops, and food production businesses that prepare and package their own retail food products.
This food labelling solution is ideal for fixed-weight food items such as jars, biscuits, confectionery, sauces, spices, snack packs, coffee bags, nuts, bakery products, and other pre-packed food items sold at a fixed retail price.
Designed for low to medium-volume production environments, the TS-Plus system allows businesses to produce professional black-and-white food labels with high-resolution 300 dpi print quality for clear text, barcodes, ingredients, logos, allergen information, storage instructions, and product branding.
Unlike standard direct thermal systems, the TS-Plus package uses advanced Thermal Transfer cartridge technology, providing longer-lasting labels with improved durability for fridge and freezer environments while maintaining sharper print quality for smaller fonts and detailed product information.
How The Food Labelling System Works
- Create custom food label templates using ZebraDesigner Essentials software
- Connect the Zebra label printer to your Windows PC or laptop
- Print professional food labels instantly
- Apply labels directly onto food packaging or products
