Solutions for printing and marking on plastic films
Marking and coding on flexible packaging films
Plastic films such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), PET, OPP, and multilayer structures are among the most widely used substrates in flexible packaging for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. Printing on these materials must combine high production speed with excellent code quality, as expiry dates, batch numbers, and barcodes must remain fully readable for automated scanning systems. Thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) is the reference technology for high-quality printing on films, while CIJ is preferred on high-speed lines where operational simplicity is the priority. CO₂ laser marking is increasingly used on printable or treated films. Explore solutions for flexible aluminum laminates.
TTO, CIJ: which technology for plastic films
TIJ inkjet systems using solvent-based inks deliver the highest print quality on films, with sharp edges and optimal contrast for optical code reading. They are the ideal choice for lines with frequent format changes and variable print layouts. CIJ systems, using inks specifically formulated for plastics, provide maximum productivity on continuous high-speed production lines.
