The Most Expensive Coding System Isn't Always the One with the Highest Price Tag.

For manufacturers, the real cost of equipment often isn't the purchase price—it's the cost of unexpected downtime.

More companies are shifting their focus from upfront costs to Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), recognizing that even a brief production interruption can have a ripple effect across the entire operation.

Downtime can lead to:
⏱️ Lost production
👷 Labor inefficiencies
📦 Product waste
🚚 Missed shipments
🤝 Customer dissatisfaction

That's why investing in reliable coding and marking equipment pays dividends over time. A printer that delivers consistent performance and maximum uptime can significantly reduce costly disruptions, improve productivity, and provide greater long-term value.

At Squid Ink, we design coding and marking solutions with reliability in mind—helping manufacturers keep production lines running and products moving.

Because when it comes to production, uptime isn't just a feature—it's a competitive advantage.

Still hand-taping your boxes? Still using print and apply labels? It's time for an upgrade!

Eastey and Squid Ink provide packaging solutions manufacturers need to get the job done. In this application, an efficient and durable side belt case taper seals the top and bottom of the filled case, transitions to the C2472 Eastey conveyor, where Squid Ink's CoPilot Max LT and CoPilot Gemini printing systems complete the coding process.

Need print validation? We've got you covered with the SquidCheck Print Validation system to make sure your codes are present, scannable, and accurate.

Trend Watch: Why Manufacturers Are Diversifying Their Coding Technologies 💡 🦑

Before you commit to a coding solution, ask yourself one question: Is one technology really enough?

Today's manufacturing environments demand flexibility, and the most successful production lines are moving away from the idea that a single printer can handle every application.

Different products, substrates, production speeds, and operating conditions often require different coding technologies, including:

✅ Continuous Inkjet (CIJ)
✅ Thermal Inkjet (TIJ)
✅ Drop-on-Demand (DOD)
✅ Laser Coding
✅ UV Laser

The trend is clear: manufacturers are building integrated coding ecosystems that leverage the strengths of multiple technologies to maximize efficiency, code quality, and uptime.

At Squid Ink, we help manufacturers evaluate their production requirements and implement the right combination of coding and marking solutions—not just one technology. Whether you're coding porous cartons, high-speed beverage lines, flexible packaging, or demanding industrial products, we can help you find the best fit for your application.

The right technology for the right job leads to better performance, greater flexibility, and a more future-ready production line.

Print It. Close It. Ship It. 🍞 🥐
Bakery production moves fast—and every unnecessary step can impact efficiency.

What if you could eliminate a production step by printing while closing?
By integrating Squid Ink's industrial printing technology with Bedford Industries' closure tag solutions, bakeries can print variable information directly onto closure tags as they're applied—streamlining production without adding a secondary labeling or coding station.

The result?
✔ One integrated process
✔ No secondary labeling
✔ Improved traceability
✔ Reduced labor and product handling
✔ Crisp, high-quality printing on every closure tag

Whether you're identifying lot numbers, date codes, barcodes, or other variable information, integrated coding and closing helps simplify end-of-line operations while supporting the traceability today's food manufacturers require.

Are your current coding systems capable of supporting future traceability requirements?

For decades, product codes have primarily helped manufacturers identify products. But the future of product identification is about more than simply knowing what a product is, it’s about telling the complete story behind it.

The GS1 Sunrise 2027 initiative is driving the transition toward next generation 2D barcodes, such as QR Codes and Data Matrix symbols, that can carry significantly more information than traditional 1D UPC barcodes. By the end of 2027, the goal is for retail point-of-sale (POS) systems to support the widespread scanning of these data-rich codes alongside traditional barcodes.

Tomorrow's packaging could provide access to information such as:

• Manufacturing history
• Lot genealogy
• Product authentication
• Sustainability data
• Recycling instructions
• Digital manuals
• Promotional content
• Supply chain information

Is your production line ready?

Manufacturers should start preparing now by ensuring their coding systems can consistently print high-quality QR Codes and Data Matrix symbols at production speeds. At Squid Ink, we help manufacturers find coding and marking solutions designed to keep pace with the future of product identification and traceability. Reach out and speak with a Squid Ink representative to learn how we can help prepare your production line for what's ahead.
