Did you know that printing a batch code on a glass bottle is completely different from printing on flexible film?

Different materials create different challenges:

▶️ Glass bottles can require solutions that cope with condensation and high-speed production

▶️ Plastic packaging may need inks designed for adhesion and durability

▶️ Cardboard cases often require clear, readable codes that survive handling

▶️ Flexible films can require precise printing technology due to movement and packaging speeds

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to product coding.

The right printer, ink and setup depend on:

✔️ The substrate
✔️ Production speed
✔️ Environment
✔️ Required code quality

Choosing the correct coding solution at the start can prevent problems later.

A production line rarely stops because of one major issue.

More often, it’s the small things that get overlooked…

❌ Ink levels running too low
❌ Dirty print heads
❌ Worn filters
❌ Missed maintenance checks
❌ Incorrect settings after a product changeover

These small issues can quickly turn into unexpected downtime, rejected products and lost production time.

A few minutes of preventative checks each day can make a huge difference.

Our advice?

✔️ Keep printers clean
✔️ Check consumables regularly
✔️ Train operators properly
✔️ Act on warning messages before they become faults

Good coding equipment performance starts with good everyday habits.

What is the most common cause of downtime on your production line?

30/07/2026

"It's printing... so it must be fine."

That's often one of the most expensive assumptions made on a production line.

A printer doesn't have to stop completely to become a problem.

Small issues like:
• Poor print quality
• Frequent cleaning
• Ink wastage
• Operators constantly making adjustments
• Slower line speeds
..can quietly cost far more than a complete breakdown over the course of a year.

The challenge is that these costs rarely appear as a line item on a report.

Instead they show up as:
✔ Lost production time
✔ Higher consumable costs
✔ Product rejects
✔ Operator frustration
✔ Increased maintenance

If your coding equipment needs constant attention just to keep running, it may be time to ask whether it's still the right solution for your production environment.

Sometimes the biggest savings come from solving the problems you've learned to live with.

Have you ever calculated what your printer is really costing your business?

Do you really need an industrial printer service contract?

It's an expense that's easy to question when everything is running smoothly.

But what happens when your coding printer stops halfway through a production run?

Suddenly you're not just dealing with a printer problem.

You're potentially dealing with:

→ Production downtime
→ Delayed orders
→ Wasted or held product
→ Engineer call-out costs
→ Pressure on your production team

So, is a service contract actually worth the cost?

The answer isn't always yes. And that's exactly why it's worth asking the question.

In our latest blog, we've looked at what an industrial printer service contract should actually cover, what questions you should ask before signing one, and when it may - or may not - make financial sense for your business.

Because the cheapest support option isn't necessarily the cheapest option when your production line is waiting.

Industrial printers don't usually fail without warning.

More often than not, there are small signs that something isn't quite right - an occasional stoppage, inconsistent print quality or operators having to reset the machine more often than they'd like.

The problem is, those "minor" issues can quickly become costly production downtime if they're ignored.

In our latest blog, we look at some of the most common reasons an industrial printer keeps stopping during production, along with practical checks that could help identify the cause before it develops into a bigger problem.

Whether you're responsible for production, engineering or maintenance, it's a useful read if keeping your line running efficiently is a priority.

Many manufacturers assume their existing coding equipment is ready for the transition to 2D barcodes.

The reality is that print quality, code size, substrate type, line speed and verification all play a role in whether a code scans successfully.

A barcode that looks acceptable to the eye may still fail at checkout.

If you haven't assessed your current coding capability yet, now is the time.

Audits can be stressful - but robust coding and traceability systems help make them routine rather than disruptive.

With clear, consistent batch and date codes it supports compliance and demonstrates control over production processes, ensuring that every step is accounted for and every product is traceable from start to finish.

This meticulous approach not only fosters confidence among stakeholders but also mitigates risks associated with potential non-compliance.
