During 1981, the management of Celamark recognized that a need existed, in the food service industry, for a systematic and fast method of marking food product containers with date labels to make possible timely rotation, thereby helping to ensure freshness, reduce chances of food borne illness and help with food waste reduction.

To accomplish this, a special marking "gun" was designed to print, and quickly dispense, a pressure sensitive label with a clearly imprinted date that could be adhered to almost any container or package, using frozen food, removable or permanent adhesive. Additionally, a day of the week color coding system was added to provide fast visual recognition. In this manner, Celamark became the pioneer in the development of better food rotation systems for the food service industry.

The Celamark method of food rotation and freshness control marking was soon adopted by many of the major fast food chains and food service organizations and became the standard method for the industry. It remains today as the most widely used freshness control marking method.

Celamark offers a choice of adhesives, frozen food adhesive, regular adhesive and removable to be used depending on the application.

Celamark date marking helps to reduce the risk of liability due to food borne illnesses. It also helps to assure the quality and appearance of food served, by monitoring freshness. The amount of investment required is very small but the rewards are large.

In addition to freshness control marking systems, Celamark also provides price marking systems to a wide variety of retailers.
