Printing date codes

Marking and coding specialist, Allen Coding, has been selected to supply traditional Scottish bakers, JG Ross, with an R-XS small character continuous inkjet coder. The coder will be used for the application of date codes and batch information to pre-printed flow wrap for its new gluten free manufacturing facility in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Cameron Ross, Director at JG Ross, comments: “We were recommended to Allen Coding by our label applicator supplier and their sales engineer suggested the R-XS printer as being most suitable for our production and packaging requirements.”

The RX-S printer now operates on JG Ross’ production line at up to 30 packs per minute (ppm), where it is installed on the film entry feed.

Cameron adds: “The training provided by Allen Coding was very good and the RX-S has been easy to install, learn and maintain and the quality of print is always good. Based on our experience so far, I would certainly recommend Allen Coding and the RX-S to other food companies.”
