From company updates to helpful hints and tips - Rotech's blog is a one stop shop for coding & marking and packaging information.
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.

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.

In the last decade, designers of TIJ (thermal inkjet) printers have been working tirelessly to address the technology’s limiting factors, and latest generation TIJ machines will outperform CIJ in terms of cost of ownership and print quality in most coding applications. But despite a discernible shift to TIJ on FMCG lines, outdated perceptions are still deterring many operations from moving to cartridge-based technology.
Manufacturers in the growing ready meals sector are facing increasing challenges regarding the labelling and coding of convenience food products.
Traceability isn’t just a buzzword. It is supply chain transparency that any company operating in the 21st century food industry has to guarantee in order to thrive in an age of exacting consumer and retailer expectations and rising food safety related threats.
