Linx Printing Technologies is
reported to be delivering
excellent coding quality on a
range of packaging types for the
French cosmetics manufacturer
Laboratoires Wilson. Products are
packaged in diverse forms and
materials, including pots and bottles
made from PET, PE, PP, glass and
styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN).

The marking of the products has to
be reliable and efficient, showing the
batch number, expiry date and
information on the country of
distribution on the bottom of the
containers. The previous system used
could not meet all of these
requirements and was causing
reliability problems.

Laboratoires Wilson therefore
asked Linx for a coder that was easy
to use, simple to implement, reliable
and with excellent results. The
solution was the Linx 4900
continuous ink jet printer, which is
easy to use, with low operating costs.

It is capable of printing up to two
lines of text and operates for eight
hours a day, five days a week at a
speed of 17m/min.
