Application fit

Flexible coding for multiple customers and pack types

Contract packing sites often need one coding system to cover different product sizes, substrates, code formats and customer requirements. The right setup should make job selection, print position adjustment and operator changeover straightforward.

  • Date, batch, lot, QR and barcode print across varied SKUs
  • Adjustable stands, brackets and guides for fast changeovers
  • TIJ, CIJ, large character and handheld coding options
  • Support for sample testing before committing to a coding setup

What to confirm before choosing a coder

A good recommendation starts with the product material, required code, speed, code position, production environment and whether the code is being applied to the primary pack or outer packaging.
