Batch Coding Machines

Batch Coding Machines – Product Description

A Batch Coding Machine is an industrial marking/printing device used to apply batch numbers, manufacturing dates, expiry dates, MRP, barcodes, QR codes, lot numbers, and other variable data directly onto products or packaging. These machines are essential for traceability, regulatory compliance (FSSAI, FDA, BIS), quality control, and recall management across industries such as food & beverage, pharma, cosmetics, FMCG, and packaging.

Key Features

High-speed printing: Up to 200 prints/min or 5,000–20,000 labels/day depending on model

Print resolution: Up to 600 dpi for crisp, readable codes

Print height: Typically 12.7 mm (adjustable in advanced models)

Substrate compatibility: Works on plastic bags, paper, PP/PE films, laminates, cardboard, bottles, jars, tins, pouches, and uneven surfaces

Automation options:

Manual/Hand-operated – portable, suitable for small batches

Semi-automatic – machine prints, operator feeds/collects

Automatic/Inline – fully integrated with conveyor systems for continuous production lines

Coding technologies:

Contact type: Ribbon coders, hot stamping, embossing

Non-contact type: Continuous Inkjet (CIJ), Thermal Inkjet (TIJ), Laser marking, Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO)

Ink options: Black, colored, UV-visible, solvent-based, eco-solvent, or pigment inks depending on application

Durability: Prints resist smudging, moisture, heat, and abrasion for long-term legibility

Common Applications

Printing batch/lot numbers and expiry dates on pharma packs and food labels

Adding MRP, manufacturing date, and retail pricing on cartons and pouches

Marking barcodes/QR codes for inventory tracking and retail scanning

Applying custom text, logos, or promotional offers on existing packaging
