Coding and marking solutions unpacked with Nampak I&CS
The development of coding and marking systems remain a key element in the packaging industry, with many different choices available. Yet the obvious choices about which systems to use, how suitable they are for certain product substrates and how they affect production lines are often shortsighted.
As the original supplier of Videojet technology in Southern Africa and with more than 30 years experience in supplying coding systems, Nampak I&CS uses its expertise to supply the right blend of coding technology for individual needs.
From small character ink jet coding to large character coding, and even laser coding, to mention but a few, Nampak I&CS can provide the right marking, addressing, bar coding and labeling solutions for any application. ?
Nampak I&CS’s range of small character ink jet coding systems are handy for coding products that require high-speed printing, font sizes from 0.6 to 12 mm and up to eight lines of print. User-friendly message creation, connection to networking software, and "no-code-no-run" are all available options with Videojet small character printers.
Nampak I&CS also supply various large character ink jet printing systems, which use large or medium fonts to mark secondary packaging and other shipping containers. Modular printhead systems and simple integration into existing production lines are crucial qualities that make large character systems economical solutions for secondary packaging applications.
Videojet laser marking systems offer high reliability and quality at a good price/performance ratio. Laser markers mark on almost any material, providing a wide range of application options including metal, plastic and other hard surfaces.? Advantages of the laser marking systems supplied by Nampak I&CS are high speeds, consistent print quality, printing on extremely small areas and operation in almost any environment with no mess.
Thermal transfer coding systems are another interesting option in Nampak I&CS’s offering, and are typically used to mark directly onto flexible packaging. Through Videojet Data-Flex thermal transfer coding systems, coloured pigments are transferred to the pack, resulting in high-resolution, high quality prints on flexible packaging substrates.
The range of Videojet machinery supplied by Nampak I&CS has also become smaller and more compact, making it easier to move the coders between manufacturing plants, and faster to incorporate them into existing production lines.
A further advantage that the Videojet systems have gained over the years is the length of time that the coding machines can run for, without needing maintenance. Certain Videojet coders can now run for approximately 400 hours before needing to be cleaned or maintained, meaning more uptime for production lines.
