From company updates to helpful hints and tips - Rotech's blog is a one stop shop for coding & marking and packaging information.
Coding and marking, the process in which variable data such as lot codes, batch numbers and barcodes are applied onto products, packaging or labels is often seen as a mandatory, unavoidable part of the production and packaging process and nothing more.
A candle manufacturer has boosted its ability to meet growing demand for its premium products by swapping messy and inflexible old coding systems for four clean and flexible, low-maintenance thermal inkjet (TIJ) printers from Rotech.
Over the past year or so we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of food manufacturers choosing thermal inkjet to date code their packaging over other technologies such as continuous inkjet (CIJ) or laser.
When whispers of label shortages began during 2021- many thought that the problem would be resolved within a matter of months. However, like the labels, the problem has stuck, and lead times can span up to 3 months, causing problems for manufacturers across the globe.
With the ability to generate, print and verify serialised 2D codes on cartons, the RF Compliance offers an instant, reliable and easy-to-use solution for pharmaceutical manufacturers.
When it comes to packaging, variable data is most easily defined as information that can only be added at the time of packing.
Rotech explains how brands can be protected with security features enabled by thermal inkjet.
Our RF range of feeding systems – designed and built here in our UK factory – offer manufacturers a unique, flexible solution to code and/or label their packaging, in its flat form, where it can’t be done as part of the inline coding or labelling process.
Albeit a small part of the overall production process, coding and marking is a crucial one, for many reasons. It’s essential in order to meet regulatory requirements, allow for traceability and to display important information to the consumers, such as use by dates.
