Large Character Printers

Industrial, piezo ink jet printers for secondary coding

Linx Large Character printers deliver reliable industrial printing for global production lines.

Our case coding printers provide a cost-effective and reliable coding batch codes, dates, product information, barcodes, QR codes, graphics and logos onto porous substrates such as paper, card and wood, making them an ideal solution for outer packaging, case coding and cardboard boxes. 

By printing directly onto packaging, Linx large character marking printers can help reduce reliance on labels and pre-printed boxes. This helps lower consumable costs, reduce packaging waste, simplify stock management and improve flexibility across production lines with multiple SKUs.

Applications for LCM printers

Benefits of Large character marking

Produce bold, easy-to-read characters that remain visible throughout storage, transport and distribution. Ideal for batch codes, dates, product information, barcodes and logos.
Eliminate labels and reduce dependency on pre-printed boxes by printing straight onto cardboard, paper, card and wood.
Simple system design, efficient ink usage and minimal maintenance help keep running costs under control — especially for high-volume case coding.
Robust construction and dependable performance make Linx large character printers well suited to demanding factory and warehouse conditions.

FAQ

What is large character marking?

Large character marking (LCM), or case coding, is a method of printing bigger text, barcodes, logos, and graphics directly onto outer packaging such as boxes and cartons.

What materials can large character marking be used on?

LCM is typically used on porous materials such as cardboard, corrugated cases, paper, and wood.

What types of information can LCM printers print?

LCM printers can print product names, batch codes, barcodes, logos, shipping details, and other variable information needed for identification and traceability.

Why choose large character marking instead of labels?

Printing directly onto cases removes the need for labels, helping to reduce costs, simplify operations, and eliminate label storage and handling.

Is large character marking suitable for high-speed production lines?

Yes, LCM systems are designed to keep up with fast-moving production lines while maintaining consistent print quality.

What is piezo inkjet printing?

Piezo inkjet uses drop-on-demand technology, where a piezoelectric element precisely controls the release of ink droplets to create high-resolution text and images.

Why is case coding important?

Case coding ensures that products can be tracked through the supply chain, supports regulatory compliance, and helps prevent errors in distribution.

Which industries use case coding?

Industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and manufacturing rely on case coding to manage supply chains and meet labelling requirements.

Can large character marking systems be integrated into existing production lines?

Yes, LCM printers are designed for easy integration into existing lines with minimal disruption.
