A young specialty preserves maker from Vermont was growing fast and needed to begin automating their jar labeling process. They found the perfect wrap-around label applicator system, but, they were at a loss when it came to choosing the right high resolution coder for printing batch codes and expiration dates on their prime labels.
The company’s high resolution quality image demanded the best variable print quality, so thermal transfer printing was the clear choice. However, the labels were heavily pre-printed and not very “thermal transfer compatible”. Traditional thermal printers, which utilize “flat” print head technology, would not create solid codes on the challenging labels. FlexPackPro’s compact 130 Series TTO however – which employs superior 300 dpi “near edge” print head technology – had no problem mounting to the label applicator and producing the clear, bold images of batch codes required.
In addition to the broadest offering of in-line TTOs, FlexPackPro offers the versatility and superior print quality of Thermal Transfer Overprinting in a number of cost-effective, off-line variable printing and coding systems as well.
The international development teams is continuously innovating on behalf of the industry, and have created several stand-alone TTO printing systems to meet a variety of needs and budgets. Print pouches, sleeves, cards, envelopes, bags and flexible packaging film on-demand and offline with one of FlexPackPro’s cost-effective stand-alone solutions.
