Reliable, continuous print on paper and plastic bags
When bagging powdered materials, there can be variability with finished product placement on your conveyors. This can create distorted codes due to inconsistent throw distance from bag to bag. Equipped with the right accessories and the know-how for seamless installation on your line, Videojet experts can help you with optimal printer placement on your conveyor for clean and consistent codes.

Large Character Marking

  • Large character size marking at high line speeds
  • Pre-load job product codes or network your printers to minimize changeover times and entry errors

Continuous Ink Jet

  • Options with CleanFlow™ technology and IP65 rating designed to minimize maintenance
  • Bulk ink and make-up systems reduce operator/printer interaction

Print a variety of text, characters or logos in hot, non-stop production environments
Regardless of whether you are printing lot, date or bar codes, moisture levels, panel grades, inspector ID information, species or batch data, coding equipment selection is largely driven by the demands of your production environment. The ease of maintenance must also be taken into consideration when bulky equipment limits accessibility to your printer. Videojet offers rugged printer options that are designed for dependability, minimized maintenance, and ease of use.

Continuous Ink Jet

  • Variable throw distance helps reduce printhead damage due to uneven lumber surfaces
  • High resolution white and pigmented inks in black, blue, red, and yellow

Thermal Ink Jet

  • Simple and cost-effective change-outs of the cartridge provides a new printhead with each replacement. This solution can be used for lumber substrates where wood slivers can damage the printhead.
  • High resolution bar codes and logos

Large Character Marking

  • Robust industrial printer design with IP65 cabinets available for harsh production environments
  • Available micro-purge technology helps reduce required maintenance and printer damage due to operators forgetting to purge printheads

Code quality and your production environment
With the challenges of printing consistent codes in harsh environments and the cost and effort required to address operator-related coding mistakes, coding errors can quickly become a headache. Videojet offers exclusive technologies such as CleanFlow® and Dynamic Calibration™ that can help you print clean, consistent codes, even in challenging production environments. And our Code Assurance solutions can help simplify operator-to-printer interaction, and better equip operators to achieve the right code on the right product, time after time.

Continuous Ink Jet

  • Pigmented inks provide high contrast on dark backgrounds, improving legibility
  • Dynamic Calibration™ feature adjusts to temperature variation at the production site, helping to ensure consistent code quality

Laser Marking Systems

  • Sharp, clear codes with high contrast. Highly attractive, gold-colored codes are possible on extruded PVC
  • Fiber laser marking system is able to code on metal surfaces

Help reduce costs and increase packaging line flexibility
Printing product or part number information directly on the bag can help reduce pre-printed inventory holding costs, long lead times, and simplify production changeovers. By using generic film and coding variable information on demand with a Videojet Thermal Transfer Overprinting solution, you can help reduce packaging costs and increase productivity.

Thermal Transfer Overprinting

  • Ideal for printing dates, logos, bar codes, other product information and graphics on generic film
  • Many different ribbon colors available
  • Produces high resolution codes (300 dots per inch/ 12 dots per mm) on flexible film with no solvents
  • Patented clutchless ribbon drive helps minimize maintenance-related downtime and maximizes ribbon efficiency

Code on almost anything
Due to their content and application constraints, many building materials packages, especially the ones designed for DIY, come in a variety of specialized containers. In the retail space, packaging design often differentiates your products and can be integral to your success. Videojet offers robust coding solutions to address the unique needs of a wide range of specialty packaging types.

Continuous Ink Jet

  • Broadest portfolio in the industry at over 175 ink offerings including odorless and non-MEK inks
  • Easy integration onto your line for printing on the shoulder, top or bottom of a wide variety of substrates

Laser Marking Systems

  • Clean, crisp codes on plastic tubes, metal, and HDPE with UV
  • Etch text, numbers, special characters and logos, even in small spaces, with curved or linear orientations

Empower your supply chain and reduce costs
Printing lot, batch and supplier-specific information on your external packaging creates a data-rich traceability point that is visible to your warehouse, wholesaler and retailer. With solutions to assist with tracking your product throughout your supply chain, Videojet offers scalable software and production-line control systems for nearly every material and production environment. Moreover, there are cost-savings opportunities with print on demand solutions for exterior packaging – helping to reduce the costs of using and maintaining pre-printed cases.

Thermal Ink
Jet

  • High resolution, ink-based printing with no wear parts, minimizing maintenance and related downtime
  • Solution with MEK-based inks helps ensure excellent code adhesion on non-porous substrates

Laser Marking Systems

  • Comprehensive portfolio of laser accessories, lenses and beam turning units for easy integration
  • Especially useful for water-resistant coated boxes as it enables clear, dark printing without damage to protective coatings

Label Printer Applicator

  • High quality thermal transfer coding direct to labels
  • Automated application offers greater speed, accuracy, and error prevention than hand labeling

Large Character Marking

  • Bar code scanner available to enter code information directly from production order into printer
  • Message capacity to handle multiple jobs with easy and fast code selection, helping to minimize changeover time
