Pouch Printing on Salty Snacks
and Chip Packets

Your high quality packaging deserves a high quality code

Capturing sales on the shelf means making the most of your brand. Brand management teams obsess over packaging artwork. The last thing they want is poor quality codes that detract from the package.

A true printing partner understands the importance of great print quality and achieving your operational goals. Offering over four decades of experience in your industry, Videojet has the ideal combination of technology, expertise and service options to be your coding partner of choice.

Application Detail

Bag and Pouch

Solutions for a wide variety of bag types

From pillow to four-sided to block-bottom, bag variety and the machines used to fill them continue to evolve. New bag features and packaging lines can dictate your coding technology selection, but code quality and content requirements also play a role.

Jar, Tin and Can

Versatility to code on almost anything

Substrate, environmental considerations or requirements for specialty inks can make selection of a coding solution more challenging. With the right expertise, an optimal solution can be specified for your snack production line.

Carton

Coding solutions to meet your unique needs

Selection of a carton coding technology is based on the unique needs of your business. Things to consider include requirements for limited consumables, permanent or 2D codes or even solvent-free technologies.

 
Case

Empower your supply chain

Legible case coding is the cornerstone of effective inventory management throughout the supply chain. Videojet can help in a variety of ways, providing high resolution printing for direct-to-box and automatic label applications.

Line Integrations

Vertical Form Fill Seal (VFFS)

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, and the type of VFFS line require a thoughtful selection of the right coding technology.

Integration challenges can be physical, in terms of space and the need for mounting accessories, or communications-based. Videojet Thermal Transfer Overprinter (TTO) products have been engineered by packaging industry experts to make all aspects of interaction from VFFS installation to customer operation as simple as possible. In addition, Videojet’s service and technical support team help ensure that the installation is done right the first time and provides support throughout the life of the printer.

 

Continuous inkjet (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 Transfer Overprinting (TTO)

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

 

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.

Vertical Filling Line

With this application, the printer is typically integrated onto your conveyor after the sealed jar, tin or can has been discharged. Depending on your preferred code location, the printer can easily be configured to print on the bottom, top or shoulder of the container.

Cartoner

Several printing options can serve in this application and can be 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.

Thermal inkjet (TIJ)

Ink-based, non-contact printing using heat and surface tension to move link onto a package surface. Generally used to print 2D DataMatrix and other bar codes.

Case Packer and Sealer

Case 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 coding solution is ideal for you.

 

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.

 

Label Printer Applicator (LPA)

Print and places labels of various sizes on multiple package types.
