Large character marking (LCM) printers

Large character marking printers allow large amounts of information, scannable barcodes and/or graphics to be printed directly onto the packaging, without the need for a thermal transfer (TTO) printer or a labeller.

Within our range we have case coders, ideal for the direct printing of outer cases and boxes, as well as a new system that can produce large, sharp prints onto non-porous packaging types, such as bags and pouches – The Integra PP Razr 34.

Large format printing for most packaging types

Large character marking for primary packaging

Large character printers can be utilised for printing onto primary packaging, either on or away from the production line. Typical applications include printing entire ingredient lists or large barcodes.

The Integra PP Razr 34 can produce seamless, high-resolution prints onto both porous and non-porous materials at high speeds, eliminating the need to stitch multiple printheads together.

Large character marking for secondary packaging

Printing directly to the box removes the need for label applicators; increasing efficiency, reducing waste and aiding recyclability of the boxes.

Our large character printers can be easily integrated into production lines and produce clear and concise prints that can be easily read by scanners, allowing for full traceability throughout the suppy chain.

Applications

Outer cases & boxes

Corrugate

Labels

Cartons

Sleeves

Bags & Pouches
