Expert solutions for

CABLES AND WIRES

Our coding solutions deliver precise, durable marks on fast‑moving, flexible cables and wires, ensuring clear identification and full traceability across electrical, automotive, construction, and industrial sectors.

Coding and marking on cables and wires is essential across electrical manufacturing, automotive, construction, and industrial sectors.

Every cable whether PVC insulated, rubber sheathed, fibre optic, or multi core, must display clear, durable identification such as metre marks, batch numbers, voltage ratings, compliance symbols, and traceability codes. Because cables and wires are continuously moving, flexible, and often produced at high speeds, coding systems must deliver precise, non contact printing that remains readable throughout installation and use. Reliable coding ensures compliance with industry standards, supports quality control, and enables full traceability from extrusion to final application.

Cables and wires present some of the most demanding challenges in industrial coding.

Their round, flexible surfaces make it difficult to maintain consistent print alignment, especially at high extrusion speeds. Materials vary widely each with different surface energies that affect ink adhesion. Many cables are produced hot from extrusion, dusty from fillers, or coated with lubricants, all of which can interfere with print quality. Environmental conditions add further complexity. Codes must remain readable even after exposure to abrasion, bending, UV light, moisture, oils, and temperature extremes.

Our coding solutions are engineered to overcome these challenges. CIJ printers deliver fast, non contact coding ideal for continuous extrusion lines, with inks formulated for strong adhesion on plastics and rubber. Laser marking provides permanent, high contrast codes on suitable cable materials. TIJ systems offer crisp, high resolution printing for flat cable jackets or sleeves. PIJ and Monochrome print bars deliver precision for barcodes and variable data.
