Markem-Imaje’s newest innovation to be showcased in the U.S. market will be the Super Piezo Inkjet (SPI) marking technology that was designed to answer the demand of brands to have high quality print including serialized 2D codes, essential to the FSMA and the revolution coming to the market in dynamic barcodes from GS1. The technology will give brands the capability to mark their products with unique codes on 3D complex surfaces at very high speeds.
Markem-Imaje will also demonstrate its latest state-of-the-art laser models, each responding to industry demands in the segment’s three technologies and helping to improve on ESG goals while boosting productivity. The company’s new ultraviolet technology, the UV500, excels on difficult materials where other laser technologies cannot perform so well, including on the finest, easily-damaged substrates like new more environmentally friendly thinner mono films, as well as polymer labels and thermoplastics like HDP.
Also on display will be the SmartLaseCO2 series of lasers producing 2D code compliant quality and efficiency on all substrates, including mono-materials and foils with high recycled content. New applications for the C600 include an extra wide printhead, the X-WIDE, offering five times more printing area, and the BOU, designed to fit into the most challenging spaces, an adaptation especially useful to the beverage industry.
Markem-Imaje will also be demonstrating its software, both in Packaging Intelligence, CoLOS that integrates with almost all ERP and MES systems, including SAP, to record and encode the detailed traceability data required for the FSMA, and other regulations. It will also display the BlueBite consumer engagement software that provides end-to-end end-to-end supply chain transparency, traceability and consumer interaction.
Additionally, the latest in thermal transfer overprinting (TTO), print & apply (P&A), and continuous inkjet (CIJ) innovations will be on display. Within CIJ, Markem-Imaje will showcase its 9750 range of printers capable of powerful traceability coding including text messages up to five lines, logos, and high resolution 1D and 2D codes, on a vast array of packaging. Within the range are models specifically developed for the FMCG sector peak results, even in high humidity, dusty conditions, and on ultra-fast lines; the first hybrid CIJ coder with the flexibility to mark with both dyes and pigmented inks; and a model primed for producing camera-readable GS1-compliant dynamic codes as small as 5mm, or 0.2 in. high.
