Coding cartons after packing

End-of-line carton coding is used when information needs to be printed after products have been packed into boxes, cases or trays.

Large character inkjet and thermal inkjet can support product names, SKUs, batch numbers, date codes, barcodes, QR codes and handling marks on suitable cartons.

We help position the coder around case erectors, tapers, checkweighers, conveyors, palletising areas and operator inspection points.
