Choosing an inkjet coding machine for a UK production line

Select an inkjet coding machine from the production brief: the material and print face, actual speed, available space, required code height and frequency of product changeover. Use those details to compare the proposed arrangement with the application requirements.

For bottles and containers, continuous inkjet is often the first technology to assess. For cartons, labels and sleeves, thermal inkjet is often a cleaner high-resolution option. For outer cases and boxes, large character inkjet can reduce labels and pre-printed packaging. For short runs, handheld inkjet can provide a practical low-cost route.
