Coding & marking for the chemical industry
Batch codes on chemical products and large-character marking on their outer cartons — with printers PACODE lists for the chemical industry, including sealed IP65 models for harsh areas.
01 Coding challenges
What needs marking in chemicals
PACODE names the chemical industry on its About page and on the X1JET HP, X1JET MX and IP-JET HP pages, and lists chemicals among the markets for Easysnap® single-dose sachets.
Coding here tends to split between the product pack — where batch numbers and dates must stay legible — and the shipping carton, where larger characters, logos and codes identify the contents. Production areas can be dusty or wet, which is where PACODE’s sealed IP65 printer fits.
- 01
Batch codes and dates on product packs
X1JET HP is listed for the chemical industry and codes absorbent and semi-absorbent surfaces with text, dates and — in Advanced and Pro — barcodes.
Date & batch coding - 02
Harsh, dusty or wet areas
IP-JET HP was developed for harsh environments with dust or wet areas: the cartridge is sealed and pressurised, the housing is IP65 and the external connectors IP67.
- 03
Large characters on outer cartons
X1JET MX codes large print images directly on carton material, and PACODE lists it for the chemical industry.
Carton & case coding - 04
Single-dose chemical products
Easysnap® can replace conventional sachets, small tubes and bottles for liquid or semi-dense chemical products.
