Information we need to specify the coder

  • Photograph or sample of the product and packaging material
  • Line speed in packs per minute or metres per minute
  • Code content, print height and print area
  • Whether the surface is porous, coated, glossy, wet, dusty or curved
  • Available space on the conveyor or packing machine

Common integration extras

Many inkjet coder projects need more than the printer. We can include mounting rails, floor stands, side guides, sensors, encoders, guarding, reject confirmation, conveyors and operator training.
