Link-Pack’s Automatic Pouch Coding System is a great machine to print variable information directly to pouches, flat cartons and cardboard sleeves of various sizes.
Link-Pack’s Automatic Pouch Coding System prints variable information directly onto pouches, flat cartons, and cardboard sleeves in multiple sizes. Built on a modular stainless-steel frame with a dual stack magazine, pick-and-place device, and motorized conveyor, it supports integration with any Thermal Ink Jet or Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) coder.
Operators load pouches, cartons, or pre-glued sleeves into the magazine, while a continuous-motion lugged conveyor and side guides keep items aligned before printing on a Domino coder. It can include an Allen Bradley or Schneider PLC and HMI to store settings for fast product changeovers.
Primarily used off-line as a stand-alone unit, it can also be integrated to feed a premade pouch bagger or allow printed items to be stacked for the next step. Sharing the same frame as the ELITA Pouch Labeler, it can add Herma label applicators, an accumulation conveyor, and support serialization for UDI, QR codes, Data Matrix, lot numbers, and best-before dates.
