From company updates to helpful hints and tips - Rotech's blog is a one stop shop for coding & marking and packaging information.
Simply speaking, batch coding is the process in which an identifiable code, usually made up of both letters and numbers, is applied to a product and/or it’s packaging. It’s a code that will be given to a group of identical products that were all produced at the same time, on the same date, at the same location, using the same ingedients etc.
Adjusting print settings, monitoring ink levels and editing print jobs is now easier than ever, with the addition of the Integra Vivid
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.
CIJ legacy printers are prone to long-term health issues and need regular maintenance check-ups. By taking out a Continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer and replacing it with a Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) printer, you eliminate chronic conditions, improving your overall line health immediately and indefinitely.
One of the major plus points for thermal inkjet (TIJ) is that all the printing components are held within the ink cartridge itself, so when you swap your old cartridge for a new one, you are effectively replacing the printhead, hence why TIJ is a maintenance-free coding technology.
Compostable plastics fall into 3 categories, and the category they fall into, determines how they must be disposed of to be composted effectively.
As we head towards the end of 2022 and Rotech completes its milestone 25th year, it seems like a perfect time to reflect on the past, present and look to the future of engineering and coding & marking. What better way to do that, than by asking 5 expert engineers, 5 crucial questions to get 25 insightful answers.
In 2019 Rotech published an article highlighting packaging predictions for the upcoming year. Funnily enough, many ring true today. So, it’s not surprising that there is still a growing pressure to “create a circular economy by reducing single-use plastics” which is dictating the decisions of all manufacturers and consumers alike. But what steps are being made by Rotech to improve sustainability?
Virtually all products/packaging destined for consumers need to carry a legible mark or code. This could be a batch number to aid traceability, a use-by date code to protect consumers, or a datamatrix barcode for serialisation.
