Frequently Asked Questions
Which machine should I choose for date and batch coding?
Start with the material, code content, print area and how the product moves through production. Compare suitable inkjet, laser or ribbon coding equipment for that specific job.
Can one printer handle every material and product shape?
No. Printing and marking methods differ by surface, shape and handling. Test your product and required mark against the selected machine.
Are pad and screen printers the same as date coders?
They serve different printing tasks. Pad and screen printing are often evaluated for artwork or logos; date coding equipment is selected around variable information and the packaging workflow.
Does a printer include a conveyor or other line equipment?
Configurations vary by product and option. Check the listed components and provide your production layout when requesting an integrated solution.
