Compare Coding Methods

Thermal Transfer

A heated printhead transfers ink from a ribbon to a compatible label or packaging surface. Discuss ribbon and material together.

Laser

A laser creates the mark on a suitable surface. Test the actual material and coating before choosing the configuration.

Inkjet

A printhead deposits ink droplets to form the code. Review the ink and surface as a pair.

These are process explanations. The two equipment entries above define the current coding catalogue.

Define the Coding Workflow

1. Prepare the code

Supply example text or artwork and identify which fields change by batch or by item. Agree who updates and approves the content.

2. Present the container

Show the marking location on a drawing or sample. Describe how the container reaches the coding station and how its orientation is controlled.

3. Check the result

Agree a sample review with your team: check the content, position and legibility against the approved artwork. Record the agreed criteria before confirming equipment.

Can Coding FAQs

Which detail pages can I open?

2 of 2 coding detail pages available. Each equipment link opens its page or current preparation status.

How should I choose a method?

Send an actual sample and code artwork so the proposed marking method can be reviewed against your requirements.

Does the thermal transfer explanation represent a listed product?

No. It explains another coding process; the current equipment entries are laser and inkjet.

Can you confirm my line speed from this page?

A configuration must be reviewed against the container movement, artwork and agreed sample checks. This page does not confirm an output rate.

What should I send with an enquiry?

Include a sample or drawing, code artwork, marking position and a description of the adjacent equipment.

Has my enquiry been sent?

This prototype validates the fields and displays that the enquiry has not been sent. Live delivery is pending.
