Frequently Asked Questions

How To Choose the Best Coding Machine for My Industry?

Before choosing a coding machine for your business it is very important to consider the below

1. The Print Surface; What the print surface is made of (eg: polythene, steel, paper etc.). For instance the ink used to print on a paper label cannot be used to print on a glass bottle.

2. Production Volume or specifically number of prints expected per day / shift /per hour. A small scale manufacturer expecting a print volume of a few hundred can opt for a manual machine which also would be much cheaper. A larger scale manufacturer with a larger print volume would have to go for an automatic coding machine.

3. Shape of the object; If the print is going to be on a bottle then a inkjet coding machine which can print on a curved surface is required. If the surface is flat such a label a contact coder can would be fine.

What Are the Factors To Be Considered While Purchasing an expiry date printing Machine?

There are certain things to be noted while purchasing date coding machines. It is rather very important to note these points before purchasing a coding machine

1. Consider "The Per Print Cost"
   Certain types of coding machines might seem outwardly cheap but the running costs are far too expensive. Always make sure to ask for the consumable and the maintenance cost before purchasing a coding machine. 

2. Check the Power Usage of the Machine
   Although most coding machines these days are good on the electricity meter. Machines with higher wattage are not entirely extinct. So make sure to specify and ask from the dealer what is the power consumption of the coding machine you are about to choose. Remember these are for industrial applications and each coin loss can have an impact. 

3. Get a Sample Done.
   Before purchasing the machine always make sure to get a sample print done on the substrate you are going to be coding on. This is very important because some substrates might not have a proper bonding with the specific consumable of the coding machine.
