Thermal Inkjet printer print on flow wrapper and film

Flow Wrap & Film

Integrate high quality coding and marking technology onto existing flow wrappers and production line equipment

Home // Applications // Flow Wrap & Film

Flow-wrapping (or horizontal wrapping) is a popular and cost-effective method of packaging products in protective plastic films or foils consisting of clear or printed polypropylene films. Flow wrap is a great choice for packaging many items – from food products to electric components and more.

Coding flow wrap & film

Our maintenance-free thermal inkjet printers can be easily integrated with flow wrap machinery, applying fixed or variable data, without slowing down or causing disruption to the line.

These printers are used to reliably print date and batch codes, barcodes and even small graphics onto multiple substrates used in flow wrapping, such as aluminium, BOPP, multi-layer laminate and paper. The result is a clear, high-quality print… time and time again.

Seamless printing up to 34mm with the Integra PP Razr 34

The Razr is capable of seamlessly printing high-resolution text, codes and even graphics onto non-porous substrates such as flow wrap and film. The compact piezo printer can be easily integrated onto exisisting flow wrap or form fill seal machinery making it ideal for many applications where thermal transfer (TTO) printers would have been used.
