The use-by-date, batch numbers and variable information applied must be high-resolution and durable to guarantee consumer safety and product traceability.
Providing traceability, product security and peace of mind against counterfeit products.
Anti-counterfeit coding is an extremely crucial measure for manufacturers of luxury, pharmaceutical or cosmetic goods. It will enhance product security, increase traceability, and prevent replication.
UV thermal inkjet technology means you can retain customer safety and ensure product protection.
Print quality codes and marks onto pouches using on-line and off-line systems.
Pouches offer a more flexible, convenient packaging alternative to rigid materials. They’re easier to store, transport and are more consumer friendly.
We have a range of coding and marking solutions for pre-formed bags or pouches. Typical applications include printing onto food, medical and industrial products.
Use off-line feeding systems to apply quality code directly to blister cards.
One manufacturing site can often use hundreds of variants of blister cards, the only difference being the information printed on it.
An off-line coding system can provide the perfect solution for the late-stage customisation of blister cards. The model chosen would depend on the size of the printer or labeller.
Printing excellent quality, durable codes onto plastic bottle
Rotech can assist you to print directly on plastic bottles, on labels and even on secondary and tertiary packaging.
Whether printing 1mm best before dates onto vape bottles or batch coding industrial containers in harsh environments, it is crucial to have expert coding support in place.
Print small fonts and batch numbers on wires and cables
Legible, long-lasting codes are crucial for traceability and security on cables and wires. The coding and marking solution employed must be capable of running at high speeds to not slow down production.
Printing can be done directly to the wire, on small labels or tags, and even applying code to the cable reel cores.
Print high-resolution late-stage information onto cartons
Optimum carton coding may be achieved off-line using a carton coder or on-line, using high-quality, low-maintenance thermal inkjet (TIJ) technology.
High-resolution code can be applied directly to the product, whether that be pharmaceutical GS1 code, best before dates on food packaging or discreet 1mm fonts on cosmetic cartons.
Ideal solutions for coding and labelling corrugated cardboard and outer cases
Sturdy yet lightweight, corrugated cardboard cases are used in the contract packing and logistics industries, but are also crucial for storage, shipping, and transportation on all production lines.
Therefore, the cases must display a high quality, durable code for tracking and product identification.
Integrate high quality coders onto flow wrappers and production line equipment
Flow wrap is a great choice for packaging many items – from food products to electric components and more.
Our maintenance-free thermal inkjet printers can be easily integrated with flow wrap machinery, applying fixed or variable data, without slowing down or causing disruption to the line.
Ideal solutions for coding and labelling outer cases and boxes
The two main methods for reliable, high-quality outer case coding are applying labels and direct marking using large area printers.
To avoid any delays and minimise the risk of human error, it is essential that shipping, traceability, and information is shown in a clear, readable format.
