MARKING SYSTEM AND INK
The multi-line code is printed on the polypropylene film flow wrapper prior to packaging with the Redimark TC12 thermal inkjet date coder using T602K ink.
The T602K ink, with a 2-5 second dry time, is an excellent choice for most plastic films including flow wrappers, bags, and pouches. Flow wrappers are often made of a simple single-layer polypropylene film and are commonly used for consumer packaged goods including confectionery, snack foods, and bakery products.
The T602K ink also has a decap time/print idle time of up to 20 hours, reducing the chance of the solvent drying out and ink becoming unusable if stored or left out on the line uncapped.

The T801K ink, with a 1-2 second dry time, can also be used to print on plastic films. The T801K ink provides sharper contrast and a finer line quality for an extra crisp clear print.

The T602K and T801K inks come in an easy to insert and change-out XL cartridge, with 40% more ink than the starter-sized, short-run ink cartridge that comes free with all Redimark marking and coding machines, including the TC12.
WATCH OUR MARKING SYSTEM IN ACTION
The Redimark TC12 thermal inkjet printer – for date, lot, and batch coding – works best on mostly flat surfaces with well-defined edges like folding cartons or paperboard boxes. The TC12 allows you to get the code exactly where you need it with an easy-to-adjust print head and specialized print features, including the ability to flip the code upside down and start printing from a set distance from the detected edge.
