Can coding machines are special printing devices used to imprint numerical identifiers like bar codes on product labels.
LevaPack has been in the packaging machine industry for more than a decade. We are highly experienced in manufacturing can packaging machines and coding machines. Our clients have the option to order a complete line of can packaging solutions or any single-use canning machines that they require. We further offer customization services to ensure that each machine you purchase from LevaPack will be a perfect fit for your production line.
In most countries, it is required that products are clearly labeled to inform consumers about their manufacturer, as well as dates of manufacturing and expiry. Coding machines are used to imprint such data onto product labels.
The data imprinted can be a logo, a barcode, dates, or a QR code. Aside from informing customers, these unique identifiers are also used for stock-taking and when products need to be identified during a recall.
Barcodes and QR codes, in particular, can sometimes be unique for each unit of a product. As such, a can coding machine may have to be programmed or synced to a website that generates fresh codes for each product.
LevaPack manufactures high-quality can coding machines that imprint clear codes and have high precision. We offer different types of coding machines to accommodate the different packaging styles and coding requirements presented to us by our clients.
Can coding machines are differentiated by their design and how they are applied for coding.
At the basic level, coding machines can be divided into handheld and inline coding machines. Handheld coding machines are small designs that require a technician to code each can manually. In contrast, inline coding machines are designed to be fitted into a packaging line of machines and can work automatically.
In another classification, coding machines are differentiated by how they are structured and how they work. The following are different types of coding machines.
Thermal transfer coding machine- this type of coding machine is ideal for imprinting barcodes, letter/number codes, and selected graphics. It uses an ink ribbon and some heat to print the code on labels.
Laser coding machines- a laser coding machine uses laser beams to imprint coding data like barcodes and dates on labeling in different colors.
Inkjet machines- in ink coding, small jet streams of ink are imparted by the machine to print specific code on product labels. Inkjet coding machines are available in intermittent and continuous coding variations. The first imparts codes at set intervals while the latter runs continuously until it is shut off.
Below is a review of how each coding machine works.
A thermal transfer coding process mainly involves 3 components to print codes on labels:
It works as follows:
A laser coding machine runs quite simply.
Laser coding machines require clean workspaces free of dust and moisture. They are applicable for imparting multicolor code on glass, plastic, and some grades of paper.
An inkjet machine is first programmed with code data and then set to run as follows:
Inkjet coding is ideal for multicolor code printing. It can be used on wet or porous surfaces among many others.
LevaPack invests heavily in research and machine development. Through these processes, we are able to stay informed on the latest technologies in the market and include them in our machines.
We also strive to manufacture our coding machines with technology that makes them easy to use and more efficient in their operations. Subsequently, we offer unique solutions like select can labeling machines that also double up as coding machines. This special design is cost-efficient, takes up less space, and saves time.
LevaPack is committed to offering you convenient top-notch services. To this end, we cater to all your bottle coding machine requirements in-house. Our wide range of packaging machines also allows you to pick out other machines that you feel would add value to your packaging line.
Customizing your can coding machines should ideally make them more compatible with your production lines. Some of the factors worth considering include:
Container types – will you be coding glass bottles, tin cans, or plastic containers? How are they shaped? When you have established this, you can have your coding machines optimized to code the containers better.
Budget- your budget will determine how much you can customize your coding machines. Altering a few parts is affordable but an entirely custom design can cost a bit more.
Productivity- what kind of code quality are you hoping for? Also, do you require continuous or intermittent coding? Weigh these options as you explore customization.
We offer comprehensive customization services for coding machines. They include:
Our team of professional staff is talented, innovative, and dedicated to serving you. We guarantee you prompt responses to inquiries, expert advice, and reliable after-sale services.
In terms of purchases, we offer friendly factory-rate prices and quality, affordable spare parts. For our international clients, our location in Guangzhou allows for easy exportation. Our team can also help you navigate the shipping process.
