Tired of investing in coding kit that doesn't deliver? NTI trials & demos avoid those expensive errors

With so many coding and marking options available on the market today, our ‘Try Before You Buy’ trials & demos scheme allows you to test out equipment before committing to a purchase to see if the chosen technology meets your specific needs.

With Needham Tech Ireland, you can take advantage of this option for laser, TIJ printing, CIJ printing and TTO printing technologies. For laser coding and marking systems, this could mean testing out different power levels or wavelengths depending on what kind of materials are being marked. For TIJ (Thermal Inkjet) printing systems, you might want to try different inks or printhead types depending on what type of substrate is being printed on.

Each of these technologies operates differently but they all share one thing in common: they use computer programming to control the process of marking or coding onto a surface. The codes can include barcodes, QR codes or other types of identification data.

In the case of laser technology, a high-powered beam creates small indentations on the material's surface to create markings that cannot be removed easily. Meanwhile, thermal inkjet (TIJ) printers use heat to vaporize ink from tiny nozzles onto surfaces like plastic packaging or labels at high speeds with great accuracy. Continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers spray droplets of ink through a nozzle while an electric charge determines where each droplet lands on the substrate. Thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) printers transfer wax-based or resin-based inks from ribbons onto flexible substrates like film.

When it comes to investing in coding, marking, laser, TIJ printing, CIJ printing or TTO printing equipment for your business there are many benefits to consider. One of the most significant advantages is the ability to improve product traceability and compliance.

Given accurate and consistent coding and marking on all products, you can ensure that they are easily traced throughout the supply chain. This helps with inventory management while also reducing product recalls and legal issues related to non-compliance. Another benefit is increased efficiency in production lines. By automating these processes with advanced coding technology you can reduce manual intervention during production which saves both time and money.

For businesses looking to expand their markets internationally, having superior quality codes will give them a competitive advantage over other companies who may not have invested in such technologies yet. It shows customers that your products meet international standards without any compromise on quality.
