Expert solutions for

DIRECT DATE CODING

Our solutions create instant, accurate date codes with precision, reliability, and production ready performance.

Direct date coding systems apply essential production information.

Including expiry dates, best before dates, use by dates, and manufacturing timestamps and apply them directly onto products and packaging. Designed for high volume manufacturing and fast moving production lines, these systems ensure every item is clearly and consistently marked.

Using advanced non contact printing technologies such as CIJ, TIJ and laser, direct date coding delivers crisp, durable results on a wide range of materials including plastics, metals, glass, paper, films, foils, and flexible packaging. With minimal setup, low maintenance, and seamless integration into existing lines, these systems support continuous uptime and efficient workflows.

Direct date coding presents many challenges that can impact production,

including poor adhesion on difficult materials, inconsistent print quality at high speeds, code smudging or fading during handling, and the risk of unreadable or incorrect information reaching customers.

Our direct date coding solutions use high precision printing technologies including CIJ, TIJ and laser marking to apply essential date and batch information exactly where it’s needed. Once printed, integrated camera systems instantly capture and analyse each code using advanced vision software, checking for clarity, contrast, alignment, and completeness in a single pass.
With seamless integration into machinery, direct date coding with camera verification delivers dependable, high quality results across a wide range of materials, including plastics, metals, glass, cartons, films, and foils.
