Therefore, accuracy and efficiency is needed in printing and coding. But what is the best coding solution? This depends in part on the coding desired, the type of product and the type of material to be coded on. For example, some products require a comprehensive label with complete nutritional information. Other codes require high resolution on a very wide labeling area. Some codes are printed directly on food products while still others require thermochromic labeling. In short, there are many possibilities.
End-of-line box coding is most effective when the right product reaches the right destination, taking into account high uptime and production speed of the production site. Markem-Imaje, global manufacturer of product identification and traceability solutions has a whole range of end-of-line solutions: high resolution, large character inkjet printers (LCIJ piezo), print & apply, thermal inkjet printers (TIJ) and low resolution, large character valvejet printers. In this brochure is more information about this.
An important aspect that contributes to determining the right choice is good value for money. To achieve this, it is possible to make use of Markem-Imaje's Packaging Intelligence Suite and services. Customers can thus get the most out of their investment. In this video explains which end-of-line products best suit which needs.
Cheese producer Bel Group is one of Markem-Imaje's customers that has already made its choice. The group introduced a new labeling standard that includes GS1-128 barcode symbols. This made for more complex and complete labeling in terms of information disclosure, than before.
In a number of its cheese dairies in France, Poland and Spain, Bel Group implemented the Markem-Imaje 2200 Print&Apply system. 55 systems were installed immediately. The main reasons for choosing this system? Reliability, ease of use and software compatibility. Meanwhile, Bel has successfully implemented the new labeling standard at these locations.
