From company updates to helpful hints and tips - Rotech's blog is a one stop shop for coding & marking and packaging information.
By going lean with their coding and marking, many manufacturers have boosted their productivity, welcomed cost-savings and even improved their sustainability credentials – a key factor for many consumers when making a purchase decision.
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.
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 it comes to packaging, variable data is most easily defined as information that can only be added at the time of packing.
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.
Coding luxury products online may be preferable, but due to the very nature of luxury packaging it isn’t always the best way to ensure high-quality, consistent results – even for highly automated manufacturing and packing operations.
The term COO (cost of ownership) is all-important in the world of coding, where the price of a machine isn’t a reflection on its overall lifetime cost.
Date coding your product online may be favourable but it’s not always the best way to ensure clear, accurate, reliable results. Here we explain why coding your sleeves offline may prove a better option.
Premium products such as cosmetics, perfume and luxury food rely on beautifully designed packaging to reflect the quality of their product and achieve their shelf appeal. Quality is paramount and the luxury category tend to favour clean, minimalistic packaging over busy designs with cluttered messaging.
