Choosing the Right Marking Solution for Carton

Sep. 26, 2025

In packaging and logistics, carton marking is vital for batch traceability, expiry date compliance, and brand protection. The right marking solution depends on carton material, production speed, and durability requirements.

Choosing the Right Marking Solution for Carton

Inkjet Printers for Cartons

Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) printers and industrial inkjet coding machines deliver high-resolution, fast-drying codes, barcodes, and QR data. A handheld inkjet printer or portable inkjet printer suits flexible use and small-scale runs, while continuous inkjet printers support high-speed lines. These systems ensure precise batch coding and expiry date printing on coated or uncoated cartons.

Laser Marking Systems

For permanent, maintenance-free codes, a fiber laser marking machine or CO laser coder creates high-contrast marks directly on carton surfaces. Flying laser marking machines integrate with production lines, and desktop laser markers or handheld laser printers provide flexibility. With no consumables, laser coding machines cut long-term costs and strengthen anti-counterfeiting.

Thermal Transfer and Specialty Printers

For flexible films, labels, and barcodes, a Thermal Transfer Overprinter (TTO printer) or ribbon printer ensures crisp, durable codes. While TTO is mainly used for flexible packaging, it can also support carton marking through label printing and application, offering a reliable option when direct coding is not feasible. Date coder machines, expiry date printers, and thermal handheld printers are widely used for manufacturing date coding across multiple substrates.
