By printing high-resolution text, graphics and barcodes directly onto outer cases, manufacturers can reduce packaging costs, waste and complexity while keeping production moving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-399781191100f587b385272f7a1aa8b7\">5 Ways the IJ470 Can Reduce Your Outer Case Coding Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Reduce the Cost of Labels&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Labels bring recurring costs, from label rolls and ribbons to storage and print-and-apply maintenance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>IJ470 prints directly onto cardboard boxes and outer cases<\/strong>, helping you reduce or even eliminate the need for labels and pre-printed packaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">That means fewer consumables to buy, fewer packaging variants to manage and less stock taking up valuable warehouse space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Waste Less Ink with Linx ReFRESH\u00ae&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Why pay for ink that ends up being wasted?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The IJ470&#8217;s <strong>ReFRESH\u00ae system<\/strong> automatically cleans the print nozzles during operation and recycles the purged ink back into the system for reuse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This helps reduce ink waste and refill frequency while maintaining reliable print quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Reduce Coding Downtime&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Unexpected coding problems can quickly become expensive when they interrupt production.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The IJ470 uses <strong>oil-based inks with no warm-up required under normal operating conditions<\/strong>, so it&#8217;s ready to print when your line is. Its ReFRESH system also helps prevent nozzle blockages that can cause missing prints and unplanned downtime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Less waiting. Fewer interruptions. More productive time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Reduce Packaging Waste and Storage&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Different labels and pre-printed cartons can mean shelves full of packaging for individual products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">With direct printing, product information can be changed digitally at the point of production. This allows manufacturers to use a smaller range of standard packaging rather than stocking multiple pre-printed variants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It can help reduce:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Obsolete packaging&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Label backing waste&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Storage requirements&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Packaging inventory costs&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Print More Information Directly onto the Box&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Saving money doesn&#8217;t have to mean compromising on your code.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">With a <strong>70 mm print height and print lengths of up to 2000 mm<\/strong>, the IJ470 can print detailed messages directly onto outer packaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Print text, logos, graphics, barcodes, QR codes and <strong>GS1-compliant 2D codes<\/strong> &#8211; without needing a label.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Need even more flexibility? Up to four IJ470 printers can be controlled from a single interface to increase the print area or print on both sides of a carton.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1dbfbbc023729e56e0e5cea647d7181c\">Direct Case Printing vs Labels and Pre-Printed Boxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-small-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Method<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Ongoing consumables<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Packaging flexibility<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Storage requirements<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Variable data<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Labels<\/td><td>Labels &amp; ribbons\/ink<\/td><td>Good<\/td><td>Label inventory required<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pre-printed cartons<\/td><td>Packaging inventory<\/td><td>Low<\/td><td>Multiple carton SKUs<\/td><td>Limited<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>IJ470 direct printing<\/td><td>Ink<\/td><td>High<\/td><td>Standard cartons can be used<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Printing directly onto outer cases can simplify packaging operations by removing separate labelling processes and reducing reliance on pre-printed carton variants. Manufacturers can print product information, barcodes, logos and variable data when the case reaches the production line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-45550da2f43bbbdd4cf8eb57b6792c50\"><strong>How Much Could You Save by Switching from Labels?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Every production line is different, which is why it&#8217;s important to look beyond the initial printer cost and consider the <strong>total cost of outer case coding<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Think about what you&#8217;re currently spending on labels, ribbons, pre-printed packaging, storage, waste and maintenance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The IJ470 even includes an <strong>on-screen cost-per-code function<\/strong>, making it easier to monitor coding costs and compare them with alternatives such as labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b9f2766898da9ab311d3d72ec54d3e80\">Is the Linx IJ470 Right for Your Production Line?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking to reduce packaging costs, cut waste and simplify your end-of-line coding, switching from labels or pre-printed boxes to direct printing could make a significant difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Linx IJ470<\/strong> has been designed to make outer case coding simpler, more reliable and more cost-effective &#8211; <strong>making printing one less thing to worry about.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3
