Continuous inkjet or CIJ printer offers
We have a full range of coders for plastic bottle printing. Our vast ink portfolio includes competitively priced MEK-free inks and reduced VOC varieties for reduced environmental impact, as well as inks for returnable bottles. This makes Markem-Imaje CIJ printers the most flexible and one of the most reliable on the market today. Designed for maximum uptime, TCO, and ease of use, our CIJ range simplifies daily activities and makes your coding process seamless.
We offer a full range of proprietary inks to match your requirements for plastic bottle printing, including MEK-free options. Our consumables range includes fast-drying inks with a high level of resistance to water, cleaning agents, and the pasteurization process. A high-adhesion or permanent ink offering, ideal for recyclable plastics, including beverages as well as industrial applications, improves performance and meets stringent compliance regulations. We also offer removable ink primed for returnable PET, or RefPET.

SmartLase C600
for high-speed applications like beverage coding and for the most challenging Industry 4.0 environments. Our most advanced CO2 laser coder, the SmartLase ® C600, delivers superb code quality and more power, even with 1D and large 2D codes, at rates of up to 150,000 products per hour, according to the application.
SmartLase C600 BOU
The SmartLase® C600 BOU (Beam Orientation Unit) is a fast 60-watt laser that provides permanent coding at rates of up to 150,000 products per hour even in the tightest of spaces, ideal for beverage lines. The coder can be configured with up to three elbows and four tubes that come in six standard lengths to meet most installation scenarios.
2D code solutions
2D codes have already become an indispensable method of connecting your products to the Internet, facilitating vast amounts of product data and customisation possibilities. They are also simultaneously becoming essential to comply with new regulations and standards, especially concerning traceability, including for the GS1 Digital Link, Digital Product Passport and regulations. The advantages of 2D codes for boosting brand loyalty through the supply chain are unrivaled. The possibilities for promoting sustainability efforts, packaging design efficiencies, and retail process optimisation are enviable.
With the GS1 set to begin phasing out 1D barcodes in favor of 2D codes like the QR and DataMatrix from 2027, at Markem-Imaje, we have GS1 Digital Link-compliant 2D codes at the heart of our innovations from our coding hardware, vision solutions to software solutions.
