Find an answer by buyer decision
The most useful inkjet-coding answer connects the printer to a specific product, substrate, code, speed, environment and line-control requirement. The pages below give answer-first guidance, then explain the variables and evidence that prevent a misleading one-size-fits-all recommendation.

Questions about CIJ, TIJ, case and handheld coding
Start with the surface and production movement, then check the print, environment and ownership requirements.
Application questions
Answers by pack format and coding problem
Bottles, jars and tubs
Review curvature, condensation, code position, product sensing and format change.
Bottle coding questions →Pouches and film
Review the film web, formed pack, seals, gussets, registration and ink transfer.
Pouch and film questions →Cartons and cases
Compare TIJ, large-character direct print and print-and-apply requirements.
Carton coding questions →Prepare an enquiry
Give Lancing enough information to answer the specific question
Send the product or pack, print position, exact message, speed range, operating environment, changeover range, available line signals and the acceptance method. Photographs, a short production video and representative samples reduce assumptions.
