Easy to use with low operating costs

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.
