Batch Coding Machines
Batch code printers are all designed to print clear and durable batch numbers (batch code) directly onto products, manufactured goods and 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.
Many industries, such as food 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 and Lot Codes
When it comes to printing batch and lot codes, several methods are employed to ensure accuracy, legibility, and durability. Laser batch coding machine offers a permanent marking solution which provides high resolution and durability. This type of batch coding machine makes the codes resistant to smudging and fading.
Our popular inkjet batch coding machine, Linx 8900 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.
With Linx, batch coding becomes an integrated and reliable part of any manufacturing process.
Batch Coding Application
Batch codes are vital for numerous industries to ensure product safety, traceability, and quality control. Batch codes are widely used across many industries as they are the most popular method of ensuring traceability. Industries such as:
Batch coding is crucial for industries where consumer safety and reliable product identification are top priorities. However, no matter what industry you are in, you may need to ensure that you have a robust method of identifying your own products – that’s what Linx can help you with!

This is a process of marking a product with an identifying code. This code is used to identify the product and for traceability.
This is a common term used by operators for the coding machine. It is used to print batch numbers on the product
For non-contact batch coding where the machine does not physically meet the surface of the product and alternatively use lasers and ink sprays to apply a code. The machines best suited for this method would be a Continuous Inkjet (CIJ), Thermal inkjet (TIJ) and Lasers.
