HIGH RESOLUTION INKJET

High-resolution, industrial inkjet printers offer a flexible printing solution for marking on corrugated cases, bags and other porous and semi-porous substrates. A high-resolution inkjet printer can be used to print alpha-numeric code, bar codes and logos.

This technology is a cost-savings alternative to pre-printed labels and/or pre-printed boxes. These printheads are offered in a number of sizes to meet a variety of printing applications including tray packs and other short or hard-to-mark packages. The easy user interface allows for printing auto codes including date, time, shift, etc.

DROP-ON-DEMAND INKJET

Drop-on-demand inkjet is considered a large character inkjet printing method, and can be used for printing on both porous and non-porous substrates.

Alpha-numeric code and simple graphics can be printed easily in a wide variety of sizes and colors because of the large selection of printhead sizes and ink types available in the drop-on-demand inkjet category.

INDUSTRIAL LASER PRINTERS & MARKERS

Laser marking is suited for marking simple codes on glass, plastic, paper, cardboard, chip board and other surfaces. Typically laser printers are used to print text, graphics and Data Matrix codes.

An industrial laser printer is considered a cleaner and more eco-friendly alternative to inkjet because there no inks or solvents required. Because there are no fluids to buy, there is a long-term cost savings associated with laser printing.

THERMAL TRANSFER OVERPRINTERS

Thermal transfer overprinters are used to print on many types of flexible packaging materials and some rigid substrates as well. Thermal transfer technology allows for continuous or intermittent printing of date codes, batch codes, bar codes, text and other graphics.

This printing technology is ideal when the print quality of thermal transfer printing is required in-line for printing of variable information and real-time data. With this technology, a thermal printheadtransfers heat through thermal transfer ribbon to mark the substrate clearly and quickly.

SMALL CHARACTER INKJETSmall character inkjet printers, also known as continuous inkjet, offer non-contact high-speed printing of date, time, batch codes, logos and text. This type of printer is ideal for printing in tight spots that may be round or irregularly shaped at speeds upwards of 5 meters per second or greater than 1500 characters per second.

These are typically used to print on primary products such as bottles, cans and individual food packages. In addition to satisfying many applications within the food and beverage sector, this is the best ink jet printer type for printing individually manufactured pieces from personal care items and pharmaceuticals to cable and wire and other building materials. It is also commonly used for marking electronics and automotive parts.

LABEL PRINTERS & APPLICATORSLabel printer applicator machines satisfy a number of product identification needs. They can be used to label primary products, secondary packaging and pallets. In all cases, they all reduce costs associated with hand applying labels by doing it in-line automatically.

Apply pre-printed labels to a variety of surfaces with tamp, blow or wipe applicator configurations with label applicator machines. Or print and apply labels in-line with automated printer applicators.

THERMAL INKJETPRINTERSThermal inkjet utilizes thermal inkjet cartridges housed in a durable chassis to withstand most industrial packaging applications and associated environments.

There are a number of ink types available for thermal inkjet printing which allow this typically small industrial inkjet printer to be used for printing on a variety of porous and non-porous surfaces.

Thermal inkjet printers can print alpha numeric characters, bar codes and graphics in a number of different sizes, making this printing technology extremely flexible, easy to use and economical.

CASE SEALERS & ERECTORSCase erectors and sealers save time and labor, improving end-of-line efficiencies. Case erectors, also referred to as case formers and carton formers, are available in automatic and semi-automatic varieties. Both varieties offer multiple configurations to suit differing packaging needs. Many case erectors accommodate multiple sized boxes, offering a flexible solution for common carton forming applications.

Case sealers are also available as automatic and semi-automatic, and typically accommodate multiple sized boxes as well. Case sealers are easy to load and operate and require very little training to run.

Both case erectors and sealers offer a fast and efficient way to prepare boxes for filling and close them afterwards
