See how Dairy employs “long throw” box inkjet barcoding technology at high speeds

“These codes on secondary packaging rival the quality of small character ink jet coding on primary packages!”

So says Sébastien Mongeon, Technical Director at Laiterie Chalifoux in Sorel, Que.

Marketing Director Jennifer Beauchamp introduces a brand new liquid yogurt product that features 30 per cent of fruit upcycling, to produce a product that tastes great and satisfies the company’s strict commitment to consumers and to the planet.

The dairy produces over 200 SKUs mostly under the Maison Riviera brand, and so product coding and tracking is a top priority.

Sébastien also discusses the challenge of finding case coding equipment robust enough to operate at high speeds and to deliver clear and precise imprinting on corrugated cases and trays.

“We visited the DMS Marquage et Codage Acadamie in Longueuil, Quebec, where we were able to run our products on many options.

“We chose the Squid Ink CoPilot LT Hi-Resolution Printer that ‘throws’ inkjet codes nearly half an inch on uneven surfaces. The codes are 360 dots per square inch and are applied at speeds up to 400 feet per minute.”

Patrick Gray, DMS Sales Rep, adds, “The Long Throw technology is compatible with MOF (mineral-oil-free) inks that meet strict environmental standards.”

Sébastien concludes, “What sold us was the easy to use Orion software, which offers a great ink-consumption measuring tool.”
