Plastic Marking Machines

Polyethylene (PE) is the most common plastic used for rigid packaging. Application of production codes and date codes during the production process can be easily done with the Linx plastic coding machines.  

We offer expert product identification solutions for plastic marking including inks for enhanced adhesion, specifically designed to adhere to printing on a wide variety of plastics such as PVC, nylon, OPP, PP and PE. 

These plastic marking machines are designed to be easily integrated into your production environment, built with IP65-rated printers to keep dust and airborne contaminations from the printer. Traceability information, barcodes, variable data, and multi-line codes can be clearly marked on plastic containers with our robust and reliable printers. 

High-Performance Inks for Plastic Coding Machines

Linx provides a range of specialised inks designed for enhanced adhesion on a variety of plastic materials. Whether you need high-contrast pigmented inks for light or dark surfaces or inks that adhere to challenging materials like plastic film, grease-coated plastics, or oily surfaces, Linx has the perfect solution. 

Our pigmented inks retain clarity and readability for years, even when exposed to outdoor elements, making them ideal for plastic cables, extrusions, and other durable products. 

Plastic Marking Machines Application

Linx has printers perfect for marking and coding on plastics, thermoplastics, polyethene, polypropylene, polycarbonate and many other plastics used in several industries and applications. 

Shrink Wrap and Plastic Film

This material allows the customer to see the product and keep it protected from the air. It is one of the most popular packaging materials, but printing on a non-absorbent surface can present some challenges.

• CIJ marking machines for plastic can mark expiry dates, and traceability data on non-absorbent surfaces with ease without specialised ink 
• Laser marking machines for plastic can mark on static capable of avoiding pin holes with special fonts 

PET Bottles

PET bottles are commonly used in the beverage and personal care industries due to their transparency, robustness, and lightweight design. Marking such as best before codes, batch numbers, EAN codes, matrix codes, barcodes and even logos.  

• CIJ plastic coding machines code reliably in wet, dry, or dusty environments with specialised removable inks for reusable bottles. 
• Laser plastic coding machines mark up to 9,000 bottles per hour without damaging the material. 

Flow Wrap

Flow wrap is a lightweight, cost-effective material popular in the food industry.

• Continuous inkjet coders deliver non-contact coding on uneven and non-absorbent surfaces. 
• Specialised inks ensure excellent adhesion even on surfaces exposed to water, grease, or oil. 

Printing on Plastic Tubes

Our printers integrate seamlessly with rotary plastic filling machines, delivering high-quality marks on plastic tubes and other materials like cardboard cartons and cases. 

• Versatile solutions for multi-role applications, saving costs and enhancing productivity. 

Plastic Marking Machine Types

Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Printing Machines

Non-contact, high-speed coding with clean, reliable operation in challenging environments.  

• Adheres to greasy, oily, or dry surfaces with ease.
