A printer wants to know, How do they put the M on a M&M? The answers out there off Google search does not do it for me. I want more detail, the answer that it is "like offset printing" is not correct.

Thank you

Quote from the site: How m & m® candy is made - Background, History, Raw materials, The manufacturing process

Printing
"6 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."

WHAAAT! So they could make bags of all the same colour if they wanted to?

I want a bag of browns, they taste the best!

Oh, and American purple Skittles taste AWFUL! British ones are much nicer! Lol!

(USA = Grape [Why?] UK = Blackcurrent [Yum!])

How do they put the M's on the m&ms
