The dairy industry is starting to pick up as an industry to watch out for, especially in the region of Central Visayas. With Ubay, Bohol eyed as the Dairy Capital, it has become an industry with the potential to thrive. To maximize the opportunity, industrial equipment such as coders and printers can lighten the workload, speeding up production while ensuring products still receive high-quality prints required such as character lines for expiration dates, time codes, batch numbers, and the standard barcodes.

Industrial suppliers such as Elixir Cebu can fully equip dairy industries with world-renowned industrial printers to meet the coding requirements they need. Here are 4 of the most reliable printers and coders that can execute these prints.

4 Ideal Coding Solutions for the Dairy Industry

Linx Thermal Transfer Overprinter

Thermal Transfer Overprinters have the ability to print long label codes needed for lists of information onto a waxed-based ink ribbon. It can print on materials such as glass, carton, flow wrap and the like, making it suitable for printing and coding for a variety of dairy products.

Linx TT3

Dairy products don’t have heavy-duty coding needs, which is why it is best to go for the much simpler printers that can print on flexible packaging such as the Linx TT3. This model comes with a smaller 35mm wide printhead, most suitable for coding areas that are 32mm x 30mm. This makes it ideal for small dairy products such as cheese and butter. 

Linx TT10

Models such as the Linx TT10 comes with ribbons as wide as 110m, useful for information such as nutrition facts, ingredients, logos, and the like, which is a needed print for dairy products such as cartoned milk.

Linx CIJ Printers

Continuous Inkjet Printers are capable of printing on any substrate with high speeds and precision. They have the ability to print all the required information of most dairy products, including best before dates, batch numbers, and time codes. Here are two models of the Linx 8900 series that can handle the coding needs of dairy products.

Linx 8900

This CIJ printer can print directly on any material, including aluminum foil often used to wrap butter and top yogurt products. The Linx 8900 can print barcodes, QR codes, and characters from 1.8mm to 8.8mm in height at a speed of 2.92m/s, suitable for these smaller products

Linx 8910

The Linx 8910 shares similar features with the Linx 8910, also able to print barcodes, QR codes, and can print up to 3 character lines at once. They differ in specifications, the Linx 9810 having a maximum print height of 20mm and a line speed of 6.25m/s. It is also suitable to print on any wrapping material of dairy products. 

The dairy industry may still be on the rise, but it is a missed opportunity to not take part in, especially in Central Visayas. With the right packaging machines alongside simple yet effective printers and coders, this business venture offers a great possibility for expansion.
