Laser offers
Our SmartLase ® CO2 laser printers provide high-quality, permanent ink-free codes for printing on paperboard featuring patented Intelli’Arc® scribing, paired with on-board Intelli’Cool® for automated cooling. Our lasers deliver crisp, high-contrast, ink-free codes with greater uptime and reliability than other lasers. Markem-Imaje has a range of CO2 lasers primed to mark paper boxes – plus the expertise to help you find the best fit for your application.
SmartLase C350
These Markem-Imaje CO2 laser coders set the standard for best-in-class packaging coding for either intermittent or continuous lines. They are primed to deliver permanent, crisp, clear and traceable codes in medium to high-speed packaging lines.
SmartLase C600
This is the most advanced CO2 laser coding solution in our line-up with its exceptional performance in high-speed applications on the most demanding packaging line and complex codes—even with increasing code complexity of 1D and 2D codes.
TTO offers
For more than three decades, Markem-Imaje has pioneered innovation in thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) with our comprehensive SmartDate® Series. The optional SmartDate® Detect-Plus system can check and confirm the presence, position, and quality of the code on every produced pack.
SmartDate X45
Designed for easy integration into medium duty equipment, the SmartDate ® X45 prints at up to 600 mm per second, allowing for 220 printed packs per minute at 300 dpi. It features a 10.1” color user interface that simplifies tracking OEE data.
SmartDate X65
Designed for direct integration into heavy duty equipment and demanding applications, the SmartDate ® X65 is ideal for ultrafast, high-resolution paperboard printing. This is a combined overprinter that can offer intermittent or continuous configuration in one system.
TIJ offers
The Markem-Imaje range of Thermal inkjet (TIJ) printers offers high-quality compliant barcodes printed directly onto 3D products, contact-free. They require little maintenance and excel on intermittent or low to mid-volume production lines.
1050
Offers precision print control at exceptional value-for-money producing codes from 12.7 mm to 50.8 mm high, plus the ability to print readable 1D and 2D barcodes. The printer is low-maintenance with snap-in and snap-out cartridges.
LCIJ offers
Markem-Imaje has decades of experience with our easy-to-integrate, operate, and maintain high-resolution piezo Large Character Inkjet (LCIJ) printers and our non-hazardous, solvent-free Touch Dry® hot melt ink that solidifies on contact and produces darker, high-quality codes. Our LCIJ printers with Touch Dry ink are the ideal solutions for marking and coding, including GS1-compliant 1D and 2D barcodes and logos, all with lower TCO.
5800
Offering a lower-cost solution and employing the same instantly solid Touch Dry® ink technology for medium throughput applications, the 5800 is equipped with unique printheads that use smaller ink blocks inserted directly into the printhead and allow for the use of up to 4 different colors of ink on the same line.
5940 G
Using Touch Dry® ink technology for consistently scannable 1D and 2D compliant barcodes with maximized uptime and great throughput thanks to its larger ink supply, the 5940 G is built to be reliable even in tough industrial environments and features Intelli’Flow® technology to keep printhead jets clear.
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.
