How do they print the "M" on all those little m&m's?????

Answer 1

Big industrial secret: They just print "W" and turn 'em all upside down.

Answer 2

The single-colored batches are combined into the mixtures of red, yellow, blue, green, brown, and orange. They are then transported to the machine that stamps the "m" on the shells. A special conveyor belt carries the pieces to this machine. Each piece rests in its own indentation. The piece runs under rubber etch rollers that gently touch each candy to print the "m." This machine is specially designed to imprint the "m" without cracking the thin candy shell. The process used is similar to the off-set printing process. Approximately 2.6 million M&Ms' are transported to the etching machine per hour. One hundred million individual M&Ms® can be manufactured per day.

Answer 3

Printed M And Ms

Answer 4

They do it differently than they used to.

Back when the Ms were white, it was done by flexography. These days, they use inkjets.

And yes, they *do* actually print Ws on the candies exported to Australia.

Answer 5

In those m&ms factory, there are rubber conveyor belts carrying small little m letters depression. these depressions are fill with white edible ink (chocolate). The m letters are then gently printed on the chocolates. And there you have it, a m&m chocolate!
