MARKING SYSTEM AND INK
The custom code was printed directly on the candy box with the Redimark TC12 thermal inkjet date coder using T602K ink.
Printing expiry date, lot, and batch codes on uncoated paperboard folding cartons, with a porous to semi-porous surface, is common for food and beverage consumer packaged goods manufacturers, including confectioners.
The T602K ink, with a 2-5 second dry time, is an excellent choice for coated or uncoated paperboard. The T602K ink also has a decap time/print idle time of up to 24 hours, reducing the chance of the solvent drying out and ink becoming unusable if stored or left out on the line uncapped.
T602K INK PERFORMANCE MATRIX
The T602K ink comes 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. Our coding and marking system for CPG and industrial printing gets 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.
