Batch Coding Machines

Batch code printers are all designed to print clear and durable batch codes directly onto product packaging. Whether you are tracking a part between production sites, ensuring traceability or safeguarding against recalls, you can ensure reliable product identification with the highest quality lot codes using batch code printers

Automatic batch coding machines stand out for their speed and reliability, minimising manual errors and boosting production efficiency. Many industries, such as food, beverage and pharmaceuticals, require strict labeling and tracking to comply with regulations. Batch codes play a key role in meeting these requirements. 

Printing Methods for Batch Coding

When it comes to printing batch codes, several methods are employed to ensure accuracy, legibility, and durability. Laser coder machines deliver high precision and permanent marks, ideal for high-volume production. This type of batch coding machine makes the codes resistant to smudging and fading.  

Our popular inkjet batch coding machine, Linx 9000 series is capable of coding in a variety of ink colours. This method is versatile, suitable for high-speed printing and has the capability to print on various surfaces. Linx batch coding machines offer high-speed printing with optional IP-rated protection for dusty or wet manufacturing environments.
