Markem-Imaje will be presenting the latest in packaging hardware and software innovation at this year’s PPMA show in Birmingham from 24 to 26 September.
The company has decades of experience developing hardware that produces exceptionally high quality coding on the varied packaging used across the supply chain from FMCG to pharma, as well as software meeting traceability and brand protection demands. It will present its latest innovations, including the new super piezo inkjet (SPI) marking technology, that satisfy today’s demand for coding both GS1 compliant 1D and 2D codes, including the GS1 Digital Link.
The Markem-Imaje proprietary SPI combines assets of continuous inkjet (CIJ) and drop on-demand, with the capability to produce serialised 2D barcodes in outstanding quality, at high speed on complex 3D surfaces. Also on show will be the latest innovations in UV, fibre and CO2 laser innovation, thermal transfer overprinting (TTO), and production boosting software, compatible with any printing system.
The new SmartLase UV500, represents the latest in UV laser coding technology. The five watt laser delivers the most precise, high quality coding on difficult materials with minimal heat transfer where other laser technologies cannot perform so well. This includes the finest, easily damaged substrates like new more environmentally friendly thinner mono films, as well as polymer labels and thermoplastics like high density polyethylene (HDP).
We will also show our most advanced CO2 laser coder, the SmartLase C600, offering exceptional performance in high speed applications, and, within fibre[CG1] laser, the compact, safe and powerful SmartLase F250 20 watt fibre, ideal for coding on metalised packaging.
The Markem-Imaje stand will also demonstrate the CoLOS software, compatible with all print hardware and all major production systems (MES) and ERPs, that maximises production uptime and ensures packaging and coding solutions are accurate and traceable, protecting brands.
‘Today, it is not enough for manufacturers to just produce good quality products. They must also be able to trace them throughout the supply chain. It is vital for products and packaging to be coded with the latest technology that guarantees print durability and traceability which we pride ourselves in,’ said Cheryl Goodall, marketing manager for the UK and Benelux at Markem-Imaje.
The PPMA show will be held in Birmingham’s NEC between 24 and 26 September. Markem-Imaje will be on stand C70.
