Stay up to date on best practices and the latest innovations in industrial labeling, marking and coding!
You don’t just print a barcode at random. Instead, you should always consider them before printing a number, date or text on a product or packaging. There are lots of different barcodes and materials on which you can print them. In this blog, we go through them with you.
The UKCA mark is gradually replacing the CE marking for products placed on the market in Great Britain after Brexit. This article explains which product groups are affected, what transition periods apply, and what manufacturers need to consider now. Learn how conformity assessment procedures compare to CE requirements, what special rules apply to Northern Ireland, and how to adapt your product labeling in a compliant and efficient way.
Thermal inkjet printers are integrated into industrial production lines to mark the primary and secondary packaging of a wide variety of goods. Depending on the printing technology chosen, expiration dates, ingredients, data matrix codes, and logos can be printed on different surfaces, in different sizes, and at different resolutions. In this article, we delve into the world of HP Class and LX Class, two leading suppliers of ink cartridges with integrated print heads. They have different features and advantages. Let's examine in more detail!
Since the CLP Regulation (also known as Regulation EC n° 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging) came into force, chemicals must be marked according to the Globally Harmonized System of classification and labeling of chemicals (GHS system).
Black-red hazardous substance symbols have replaced the previous orange hazard symbols. Additionally, there are signal words as well as so-called H-phrases (hazards) and P-phrases (precautions). In the near future, an EU-wide Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) will also have to be applied.
There are different ways to implement the hazard marking in conformity with GHS. A new interesting approach: printing the hazard symbols directly on the product instead of attaching a GHS label! This article will show you the advantages of this approach.
Thermal inkjet printers such as those from our Markoprint range are high performers among industrial inkjet printers. Especially when it comes to availability, ease of use, low maintenance cost and high print resolution. Thanks to the growing variety of HP class technology inks, they can also master many non-absorbent surfaces. Discover how the latest generation of solvent-based inks is opening up new coding applications for direct printing on flexible packaging and coated films!
Variable data labels are necessary to identify, track and authenticate products along the entire supply chain. They also help manufacturers optimize their operating costs and market their brand. They have amazing capabilities to boost your business! As a specialist for product marking, Weber Marking Systems has more than 50 years of experience in all industries. In this article, we will tell you how several companies from the industrial sector and medium-sized businesses successfully use labels with variable data.
Since 2004, there has been an EU-wide labeling requirement for eggs. The regulation stipulates that eggs sold in retail outlets within the European Union must bear specific information (with the exception of eggs sold directly at the farm). Weber Marking Systems and MOBA—the world’s leading manufacturer of machines for sorting, packing, and processing eggs—have jointly developed the perfect solution for industrial egg labeling.
Despite high quality standards in production lines, errors can occur along the value and supply chain. Whether it's contaminated food, unsafe components, or incorrectly declared ingredients, if defective products reach the market, manufacturers and distributors must take immediate action to protect consumers. Otherwise, they risk severe damage to their image, high losses in sales, and substantial claims for damages. Learn about industrial marking solutions that help to keep expenses for product recalls as low as possible.
In the food industry, as well as in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry, product safety is a top priority. To ensure that labels on packaging do not pose any health risks, choosing the right inkjet ink plays a crucial role. Certified inks guarantee the highest standards and compliance. In this article, learn what Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) entails, why certification is essential for food-safe printing, and how you can ensure the long-term safety of your production processes by using suitable consumables.
