Jonty White from Portlebay Popcorn says:  “We have worked with Allen Coding for several years and use its printers on our bagging machines. We find them reliable and we understand the equipment so, when a now obsolete coder finally began to fail, it was an obvious move to replace it with Allen’s recommendation of an 53XL80 thermal transfer machine.”

Compact, reliable and easy to install and use, the 53XL80 requires minimal maintenance. Operating at speeds of up to 65 bags of popcorn per minute on a Vertical Form Fill Seal bagger, the unit’s reliability has meant far fewer stoppages due to equipment breakdown.

The thermal printer offers high resolution printhead technology, the flexibility to print fixed and variable text, data and graphics, plus 600m ribbon capacity.

Now bags of Kracklecorn in Applewood Smoked Cheddar, Wasabi & Sweet Ginger, Crispy Bacon & Maple Syrup, Chilli & Lime, plus the more traditional slightly sweet and lightly salted, are flying off the production line, as date codes and Julian codes are printed clearly and efficiently at 300dpi by the 53XL80.
