Print the date information your customers, retailers and production records need directly onto the pack.
A packaging date printer may need to code several pack types on one site. Bottles, pouches, cartons, trays, sleeves and cases can each need a different print approach.
The right coder depends on the date format, available print area, substrate, line speed and how often the message changes.
We help you compare CIJ, TIJ, large character and handheld options so the printer matches the production job rather than forcing the line to work around the printer.
Food, drink and consumer packs often need clear shelf-life information.
Code formats can include date, time, batch and production references.
Select the coder around bottles, cartons, pouches, labels, trays or cases.
