Inkjet coding requirement

Batch numbers that suit your production process

A batch number printer should be set up around the way your site records production. The code may include date, line, shift, SKU, lot, operator or serial information.

Inkjet coding can apply batch numbers to bottles, cartons, films, pouches, labels, sleeves, tubs, trays and cases.

We help define the message format, print area and machine type so the code is readable and repeatable.

Production records

Print batch details that match your traceability system.

Variable messages

Change codes by product, date, line, lot or shift.

Pack compatibility

Use CIJ, TIJ, large character or handheld inkjet depending on the surface.

Common questions

Can the printer add batch and date together?

Yes. Inkjet coders can usually print batch numbers, dates and other variable information in one message.

What is the difference between batch and lot?

Sites use the terms in different ways, but both usually identify a production group or traceability reference.

Can batch numbers be printed on boxes?

Yes. Cartons, cases and outer boxes can often be coded with TIJ or large character inkjet systems.
