Carton & Secondary Packaging Coding Solutions for Malaysian Operations
This application category helps manufacturers, packaging companies, warehouses and distributors evaluate BENTSAI thermal inkjet (TIJ) options for placing variable information on suitable outer cartons and secondary packaging. Typical information may include batch references, product IDs, barcodes, QR codes, routing details, serial numbers and internal handling codes.
Common Carton Coding Workflows
- End-of-line identification: apply product, batch or routing information after cartons are sealed and move through a controlled packing line.
- Warehouse and dispatch coding: add internal references, destination codes or scannable information to cartons before storage or shipment.
- Mixed or short production runs: use a portable workflow when carton sizes, locations or print positions change frequently.
- Large, visible carton marking: select an appropriate print area when information must be recognised from a practical handling distance.
What to Confirm Before Selecting a Printer
Check the carton surface and coating, required print size, message content, print position, production volume, line speed and whether the work is handheld or conveyor-based. Ink suitability, adhesion and drying behaviour should be evaluated using the actual carton sample and operating conditions.
Handheld or Inline Printing?
Handheld printers can suit mobile work, multiple storage locations and changing carton sizes. Inline printers may suit repeatable production-line coding when cartons move consistently past a fixed print position. The appropriate setup depends on the real workflow rather than the printer model alone.
