Multiple package types, six technologies, one name - Videojet Coding technologies Baked goods and cereal companies around the world work with a variety of packaging and closure types, each bringing their own requirements and challenges. Videojet offers you a full suite of coding solutions to mark your products reliably, safely and efficiently, even in tough production environments.

Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) Fluid based, non-contact printing of up to five lines of text, linear and 2D bar codes, or graphics, printed on a variety of packaging types including stationary packaging via traversing systems.

Thermal Ink Jet (TIJ) Ink-based, non-contact printing using heat and surface tension to move ink onto a package surface. Generally used to print 2D DataMatrix and other bar codes.

Laser Marking Systems A beam of infrared light focused and steered with a series of carefully controlled small mirrors to create marks where the heat of the beam interacts with the packaging surface.

Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) A digitally controlled printhead precisely melts ink from a ribbon directly onto flexible films to provide high resolution, real-time prints.

Label Printer Applicator (LPA) Prints and places labels of various sizes on multiple package types.

Large Character Marking (LCM) Ink-based, non-contact printing of multiple data types (alphanumeric, logos and bar codes) in large sizes primarily used for secondary packaging such as cases.

Innovative solutions for every step of your process Bread bagger and closure system The use of preformed bread bags lends itself to a select group of coding technologies. The simple solution is to integrate on your conveyor to allow for bag marking after each product has been sealed and closed. The type of closure you use determines whether it is possible to print on it and what technology should be chosen to perform the task. For optimal results, the printer should be integrated directly with the closure system.

Flow wrapper Videojet has several solutions for flow wrapping applications regardless of your line speeds. Although coding downstream of the flow wrapper is possible, the highest quality codes are typically obtained by printing on the film prior to packaging.

Innovative solutions for every step of your process

Vertical form fill seal Whether intermittent or continuous motion, Videojet has a range of printers to address the growing complexity of VFFS bags and pouches. Packaging features, like zippers and gussets, require a thoughtful selection of the right coding technology.

Cartoner Traditionally good material handling enables a range of technologies either integrated with the machine or immediately downstream in the outfeed. The optimal installation location will depend upon the size constraints of both the cartoner and the preferred coding technology.

Case packer and sealer Printers are best integrated on your conveyor after the sealed case has been discharged. The type and amount of information you want to print on your cases determines which of our solutions is ideal for you.

Flow pack coding

Keep pace with flow wrapping technology

Innovations in packaging equipment and industry trends are resulting in increasing flow wrapping speeds. You’ll want to take advantage of this growing capability for higher throughput and enjoy the effect it has on profitability. But cost-effective, high quality coding is still a necessity and not all printers are created equal. In fact, Videojet has matched these innovations in packaging speeds with a range of coding options. Videojet can help you feel confident that your entire message will appear clearly and in the right space on the product, while still keeping your lines running.

Bread bag coding

A more permanent code with clear options

Bread bag closure

While many bakeries choose to code on bread closures, coding on bread bags can ensure a more permanent and visible code as consumers may remove the closure, losing the code on it. However, the light poly preformed bags can only be coded on after the bag has been filled and closed and is on the conveyor. In addition, this packaging material tends to melt when hot methods of coding are used on it. Our printers address these concerns.

The perfect code, perfectly positioned

Top of bag

Getting a CIJ code on a bread bag can be difficult. Crinkling or too much air in the bag can ruin a code. Dark breads may also make a code on the bag difficult to read. Simple solutions, such as adding a metal guide to flatten the bag, help deliver consistent and high quality coding while printing a code on a light colored pre-printed rectangle provides appropriate contrast with ink to avoid obscuring the code on a bag with dark bread as the background. Front of bag

Bread bag coding

Not all closures are created equal Special closures have been designed to seal preformed bags to ensure the freshness of the product, for consumer friendly use and to provide an area for marking sell by dates. We offer you three proven solutions.

Global solutions for localized applications While bread in preformed bags is a common sight around the world, the type of closure used can vary from country to country and even within regions of a country. Twist ties, tamper evident tape and plastic clips are the most common closures. Additionally, the location of the code is variable. Depending on where you are in the world, bread may be coded on the bag, on the closure or both. Whatever your location and requirements, Videojet offers you a coding solution.

Bread bag closure

Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ)

Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO)

TRAY CODING Clear, legible and accurate codes on your tray package, anywhere you want.

Applied Label

1 On Film

Direct to Tray

Suggested Technologies Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) is an ideal solution for almost all tray applications. Condensation resistant inks ensure code stays in place when printed on any part of the package surface. Changing codes is easy through a user-friendly message creation interface or connection to networking software, and a “no‑code‑no‑run” option is also available.

Thermal Transfer Overprint (TTO) can easily be applied to any tray film prior to filling. This often enables clearer and faster printed codes than other coding methods. TTO can be used for printing on either stationary or moving products, and it is possible to switch between the two types of printing. TTO can be printed on almost any color, including dark films.

Label Printer Applicator (LPA) can customize labels. Variable information such as weight, sell by date and price can be printed for each package prior to automatic placements eliminating the need for manual handling.

Did You Know? Scientific advancements in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) have kept meats looking red, but have also significantly extended the shelf life of meat and poultry products, enabling them to reach more distant markets than ever before. While good for business, new markets means more codes to manage. With Videojet’s easy-to-use interface, USB capable programming and CLARiSUITE™ networking software, programming or selecting codes is easy.

Marking, Coding and System Solutions

Chub Pack CODING Chub packs provide ground meat with an easy-to-transport, solid shape and are used in both retail and commercial channels. Due to the lack of air inside a chub package, they often have a longer shelf life for ground meat or poultry than a tray and can easily be frozen.

Product Information

Near Seam

Suggested Technologies Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) Ground meat and poultry can easily be contaminated. It’s important to ensure that the coding process on chub packs is as clean as possible by avoiding rust and corrosion on coding equipment and making sure ink is contained. Videojet offers 316 stainless steel continuous ink jet coders to prevent rust and corrosion in harsh washdown environments. CleanFlow™ printhead technology reduces the need for messy printhead cleaning and enables clear codes even near package seams.

Thermal Transfer Overprint (TTO) Usually created in an extreme washdown environment, chub packs require codes that can also endure extreme conditions. TTO codes are clear, easy to read and durable in freezing temperatures. TTO technology integrates directly into the line and prints on the film prior to filling. TTOs are ideal for printing nutrition facts, safe handling instructions and other product information in addition to graphics. Videojet offers TTO coders with IP65 protection, so both the code and the equipment provide outstanding durability.

Did You Know? Many meat and poultry producers rely on environmental cabinets to protect their coding equipment in harsh washdown environments. However, the only way to truly guarantee protection from water damage is with certified Ingress Protection (IP). Many environmental cabinets are not IP rated and therefore may not actually provide protection to your coder. Videojet offers a full suite of IP65 rated coders that are protected from steam, splash and overspray without an environmental cabinet. A more robust coder means less water damage, less maintenance and more uptime.

Marking, Coding and System Solutions

vacuum / SHRINK film CODING Plastic films are the most common form of meat and poultry packaging due to their versatility and ability to significantly increase shelf life.

Uneven Surface

Film Edge

Suggested Technologies Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) Due to the irregular shape of many meat and poultry packages, code placement and orientation is important in film packaging. While a continuous ink jet coder can print on almost any surface shape, watch out for code distortion on extremely uneven surfaces. Coding closer to the sealed edge or moving the print head to a flatter area can improve code quality.

Thermal Transfer Overprint (TTO) Sometimes a heated vacuum process can cause TTO codes to rub off the package if not properly placed. When using TTO on vacuum or heat-sealed packaging, evaluate how far the code is from the seal. If the vacuum seal is only on the perimeter of the package or if heat is not used, consider using TTO for additional package content such as nutrition facts, allergy information or the product logo. TTO adheres best to films, and because it’s printed prior to the vacuum process TTO enables readable information on uneven surfaces.

Did You Know? There are hundreds of film types for packaging meat and poultry products. Films are generally classified by the type of barrier they provide, their thickness and flexibility. They can also be used to create different package atmospheres or for different end uses such as freezing or heating directly in the package. Videojet’s extensive ink selection enables clear and durable codes on almost every film type.

Marking, Coding and System Solutions

BAG AND POUCH CODING Bags and pouches are a low-cost packaging solution for meat and poultry products ideal for smaller pieces such as nuggets, wings or chicken feet. Suggested Technologies Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) Stand-up pouches and resealable bags are gaining favor with many meat and poultry producers because they are cost-effective, easy to use and family-friendly. Foil pouches can replace cans for processed products, and re-sealable pouches are ideal for larger familysized products. CIJ technology can be seamlessly integrated with a bag sealer to increase efficiency and create clear, readable codes.

Product Information

1 Thermal Transfer Overprint (TTO) Regulatory compliance can be confusing, cumbersome and costly. Getting the nutrition facts, allergy information or country of origin incorrect on a package being exported can result in returned or recalled product. Videojet’s TTO technology can streamline your packaging. Using a TTO coder to print product information during packaging can eliminate the need for pre-printed films. Videojet’s TTO coders can even print high-resolution logos, bar codes and pictures.

Standard Code

Did You Know? Variable-weight items can often be difficult to mark due to unit-specific weight data. Often, label printers are placed at check weighing machines in order to accurately measure and print the weight of the product. However, using coding technology can be cheaper and more efficient. You can save time and money by integrating your check weigher with a Videojet coder to record both the product weight and the required Best By/Lot information.

CARTON and sleeve CODING Cartons are often used for frozen processed meat and poultry products because they can be easily stacked and allow for colorful branding options. Often, the frozen products may still require intermediate bag or pouch packaging inside the carton.

Within Pre-printed Box

1 Direct to Package

Suggested Technologies Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) This technology can be ideal for cartons and sleeves. Color‑detecting product sensors can enable printing on specific areas of a carton to create cleaner and more professional codes. Pigmented, light-colored inks can also be used on dark carton surfaces for additional contrast. Chipboard sleeves with brand and product information can be wrapped around film or bag products.

Laser Chipboard material is often used for frozen meat and poultry cartons and is ideal for laser coding. With extremely high resolution, lasers are ideal for printing country of origin or additional product information on standard carton packages. Using lasers on sleeves to add logos, bar codes or specialized product information can save pre-printing costs and enable package specialization on site.

Did You Know? Lasers can be powerful coding tools, creating extremely clear and permanent codes with no ink or ribbon required. As with other coding technologies, however, proper maintenance and operation can increase equipment life and operator safety. When laser coding, always use a fume extractor with a clean filter to remove residual dust from the coding area. Videojet can answer all your laser questions and provide everything you need to code your products safely and efficiently.

CAn AND JAR CODING Cans and jars can ensure prolonged preservation for processed or cured meats and poultry.

Direct to Jar On Label

On Label Direct to Can

Suggested Technologies Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) Videojet Retort Thermochromic Inks are specially designed for CIJ coding on cans, performing as a color‑changing quality indicator to assure that meat or poultry has passed through a critical retort process. Cooking sterilization should be performed at temperatures of 115 to 130°C for 20 to 45 minutes or longer to preserve flavor and texture. MEK‑free ink formulas are also available.

Laser This coding technology creates a permanent code based on one of three techniques: 1. color change as a result of a chemical reaction; 2. engraving of the surface; 3. ablation or removal of the surface coating. When coding on a can or jar, you can either use ablation on the product label or code directly on the container surface.

Did You Know? A laser can be used to remove pre-printed color on any packaging, exposing the color of the underlying material. Known as “ablation,” this technique can be used on almost any pre-printed package type, including films. A combination of the best laser technology and lens type enables removal of the top layer of color on a package without compromising the package barrier. Videojet offers the widest range of lenses and laser technologies in the industry and can help you find the right ablation solution for your pre-printed packaging.

Laser Marking Systems A beam of infrared light focused and steered with a series of carefully controlled small mirrors to create marks where the heat of the beam interacts with the packaging surface. Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) A digitally controlled printhead precisely melts ink from a ribbon directly onto flexible films to provide high resolution, real-time prints. Label Printer Applicator (LPA) Prints and places labels of various sizes on multiple package types. Large Character Marking (LCM) Ink-based, non-contact printing of multiple data types (alphanumeric, logos and bar codes) in large sizes primarily used for shipping cases.

HDPE and PET bottles, jars and containers

Your ideal code Over 80% of personal and home care bottles, jars and containers are made from either HDPE or PET¹. Plastic packaging includes slick plasticizers which support plastic flexibility but can make coding difficult. Therefore, consider code contrast and resilience requirements and make sure you obtain product samples before you determine the optimal coding technology for your package. Our expert sales and service teams will help you chose the right coding technology and keep it running effectively on your line.
