It involves printing essential variable information, such as batch numbers, expiry dates, barcodes, serial numbers, traceability data, and regulatory markings directly onto products or packaging. These codes ensure compliance and help to support and protect consumers and brands.
Expert solutions for
CODING AND MARKING
Our Coding and marking systems print essential variable data, batch codes, dates, barcodes, and traceability details. Ensuring product safety and brand protection.
Coding and marking is a critical application across manufacturing, packaging, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and countless other industries.
Although coding and marking is a fundamental requirement, it presents a range of challenges that can impact productivity, compliance, and product quality.
Manufacturers must print clear, readable codes on a wide variety of materials, including plastics, metals, glass, films, cartons, and flexible packaging. These surfaces may be curved, uneven, dusty, cold, wet, or oily, making consistent print quality difficult. High speed production lines add further complexity, requiring coding systems that can keep pace without sacrificing accuracy.
Regulatory compliance is another major concern. Incorrect, missing, or unreadable codes can lead to rejected shipments, fines, product recalls, or damage to brand reputation. In industries such as food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals, traceability is mandatory, and codes must remain legible throughout the product’s lifecycle, even when exposed to moisture, abrasion, chemicals, or temperature changes. Our coding and marking solutions are engineered to overcome these challenges. CIJ printers deliver fast, non contact coding ideal for curved or irregular surfaces. TIJ systems provide crisp, high resolution text and barcodes for cartons and labels. PIJ and print bars offer precision for variable data and high density graphics. Laser marking provides permanent, tamper proof identification without consumables.
