Verified substrate data · Markem-Imaje SmartDate®

Most coding faults aren't the printer. They're the substrate.

Sachets, pouches, metalised labels, high barrier films. Each one behaves differently under a thermal transfer overprinter. Here is what Markem-Imaje SmartDate® TTO is tested to handle.

Coded in the field

Same printer. Different materials.

Paper and flexible film take the ribbon differently, and each one still has to scan first time at line speed.

Paper pouches coded with best before date, batch code and barcode

Paper pouches

Best before, batch code and barcode, printed clean on an absorbent uncoated surface.

Flexible film produce bag coded with best before date, origin and 2D code

Flexible film

Best before, origin and 2D code on a soft, uneven produce bag with no flat surface to print against.

The cost of running ageing thermal transfer equipment isn't on the invoice.

Ageing thermal transfer overprinter on a production line
01

Unplanned downtime

Every stoppage on the line is lost output you never recover, and it rarely happens at a convenient time.

02

Ribbon waste

Older mechanisms burn through ribbon. A modern direct drive cuts consumable cost with every roll.

03

Print quality drift

Faded or misplaced codes mean rejected product, failed audits and returns from your customers.

04

Obsolete spares

When parts go end-of-life, a small fault becomes a long wait, or a full replacement anyway.

The answer

Meet Markem-Imaje SmartDate® TTO.

The Markem-Imaje SmartDate® TTO range brings high-resolution coding to flexible film, with a robust direct ribbon drive and cassette design built to keep the line moving.
