Choosing a lot number printer
A good lot number printer is selected from the production problem rather than the brochure. The main questions are: what material are you printing onto, how fast is it moving, how much space is available, what code height is needed and how often does the operator change product?
Define the approved lot format, source of each field and the job-selection process before choosing the print arrangement. Agree first-off and changeover checks and how the mark will be matched to the correct pack and production record; automatic sequencing or database integration must be confirmed separately.
