Series 8 Continuous Ink Jet Printers print high speed, reliable lot/date, sell-by date and other identifying marks and codes on a wide range of substrates, including plastic, glass, paper and more.
The BestCode Model 88S Security is targeted at product traceability, security, counterfeit avoidance and brand protection applications. Ensure the product in question is truly your product.
Invisible ink prints clear and invisible—can only be seen when fluoresced with UV light. The codes and marks light up a bright blue color. Printing is permanent to a wide range of substrates—drying immediately on metal, glass, plastic and more.
Invisible codes survive high temperatures and remain invisible when exposed to high temperatures, steam processes such as that used for pasteurizations or sterilization processes.
Users can print real-time one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) barcodes – Datamatrix, QR Code, and other custom dot codes on demand. Barcodes can be encrypted with company and product specific serialization information. Read more online in News and at Packaging World.
