High-speed flexible film packaging requires accurate, durable, and low-maintenance variable data printing. As VFFS and HFFS lines push for higher throughput, marking systems must perform reliably on films with different surface energies, coatings, and heat sensitivities. Today, the most effective technologies include Thermal Transfer Overprinter (TTO Printer), Continuous Inkjet Printer (CIJ), TIJ Inkjet Printer, and laser marking machine solutions.
TTO Printers remain the leading option for flexible film. With direct thermal transfer of ribbon, TTO provides high-resolution text, batch coding, barcodes, and expiry date printing without ink. It performs reliably at over 300 packs/min and maintains sharp contrast on OPP, PET, PE, and laminated structures—ideal for food, pharma, and daily-use pouches.
CIJ is preferred when extreme speed, non-contact printing, and continuous operation are required. CIJ generates micro-droplets to mark moving film, supporting date coding, batch numbers, and traceability on a wide range of substrates. Meenjet CIJ systems are known for fast startup, stable ink adhesion, and competitive cost of ownership, making them a strong choice for high-demand lines.
TIJ Inkjet Printers—including industrial units and portable handheld inkjet printers—offer crisp, high-resolution codes with minimal maintenance. They are ideal for medium-speed packaging, small-batch runs, and flexible film pouches. Meenjet’s TIJ series supports quick cartridge changes, strong adhesion inks, and white-ink options for darker films.
Laser coding (CO₂ and fiber laser marking machine options) enables permanent, consumable-free marking through controlled ablation or color change. CO₂ lasers work well on coated films, while fiber lasers perform effectively on metallized layers. Meenjet’s compact desktop laser and flying laser models integrate easily with automated packaging lines.
Choosing the right coding and marking machine depends on film structure, production speed, code durability, and integration requirements. Whether using TTO, CIJ, TIJ, or laser marking, reliable systems provide high-contrast printing for manufacturing date, expiry date, serialization, and regulatory compliance across flexible film packaging.
With proven engineering, stable performance, and a complete product lineup—from handheld inkjet solutions to high-speed industrial inkjet printers—these marking systems deliver efficiency, durability, and excellent value for modern flexible film applications.
