Building Materials Coding & Packaging
Rugged coding on board, timber, profiles, sacks and metal sheet.
What building materials lines need
Building products are big, rough and made in dusty plants. Coding equipment needs long throw distances, robust printheads and inks that hold on porous and non-porous surfaces.
Typical codes and marks
- Product grade and dimensions
- Standards marks
- Production date and line
- Bundle and pallet labels
What matters most
Dust and vibration
Sealed large-character printheads and positive-air CIJ heads keep running in cement, gypsum and timber plants.
Large marks
Characters up to 60 mm are readable from a distance in the yard.
Load security
PET strapping and stretch wrapping secure heavy bundles and pallets.
