Coding on primary packaging

For coding primary packaging various technologies are used:

  • Thermal transfer printer
  • Inkjet
  • Hot Foil coder
  • Labels
  • Laser

Every technology has its own specific area of application.

Thermal transfer printer

With a thermal transfer printer the information is generally printed directly onto the packaging. If required a label can also be printed.

The thermal transfer printer prints information such as a date, time, batch number, logo and barcode at a resolution of 300 dpi.

Inkjet

The inkjet is used in many applications for coding primary packaging.

The small character inkjet printer (CIJ, Continuous Ink Jet) and the large character inkjet printer (DOD, Drop on Demand) can print one to five rows of text, logos and barcodes on most materials.

The high resolution inkjet can print one to four rows of text, logos and barcodes on porous materials at a resolution of up to 600 dpi.

There is a choice between individual labelling appliances or complete custom-made labelling systems.

It is also possible to equip these labelling appliances with a printer.
