CIJ Continuous Inkjet Printers: The Efficient Choice for Labeling Plastic Pipes and Food Packaging

CIJ Continuous Inkjet Printers: The Efficient Choice for Labeling Plastic Pipes and Food Packaging

In the industrial labeling field, CIJ (continuous inkjet) printers, with their non-contact printing characteristics, strong environmental adaptability, and efficient and stable performance, have become core labeling equipment for many industries. Especially in the plastic pipe and food packaging sectors, they not only meet stringent compliance requirements but also adapt to high-speed production rhythms, providing a reliable solution for enterprises to solve labeling challenges.

Plastic Pipes: A Powerful Labeling Tool for Both Weather Resistance and Traceability Needs
Plastic pipes are fundamental materials in construction, municipal engineering, and water conservancy, and their labeling must simultaneously meet the two core requirements of "long-term weather resistance" and "full traceability." CIJ Printers precisely address this pain point. In the production process, pipes made of materials such as PP, PE, and PVC are mostly continuously extruded. CIJ Printers can achieve high-speed printing of up to 60 meters per minute, simultaneously coding the pipe surface with production date, batch number, specifications (e.g., "DN32 PVC-U water pipe"), and applicable standards (e.g., GB/T 5836.1-2018), without requiring downtime and seamlessly integrating into the production line rhythm.

More importantly, considering the complex environments in which plastic pipes are often exposed to outdoor sunlight and underground moisture, the cij printer's dedicated weather-resistant ink, tested to maintain clear markings within a temperature range of -30℃ to 60℃, is also abrasion-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Even if the pipes are buried underground or exposed for extended periods, information such as production dates and brand logos are not easily faded or peeled off. Simultaneously, by printing unique QR codes or barcodes, information across the entire supply chain, including raw material suppliers, production workshops, and quality inspection data, can be linked. Downstream construction companies can scan the codes to trace the product's origin, and regulatory authorities can quickly verify compliance, helping companies build a comprehensive product traceability system.

Food Packaging: Dual Guarantee of Safety, Compliance, and Precise Labeling Food packaging labeling is directly related to consumer health and corporate compliance risks. With its advantages of "food-grade compliance" and "precise printing," the CIJ printer has become the preferred equipment for the food industry. In terms of safety and compliance, the food-grade ink used strictly complies with GB 4806.1-2016 "General Safety Requirements for Food Contact Materials and Articles," and is free of harmful substances such as lead and mercury. When printed on packaging such as plastic film bags, biscuit cartons, and milk powder aluminum foil bags, no harmful substances will migrate, safeguarding food safety from the source.

The CIJ printer also excels in labeling precision and diversity. Its printing resolution reaches over 300 DPI, and it can print fonts as small as 1mm, clearly presenting key information such as "allergen warnings," "storage conditions," and "abbreviated nutritional information," avoiding consumer misunderstanding due to unclear labeling. Simultaneously, it supports dynamic data printing, allowing real-time adjustments to production dates, shelf lives, promotional codes, etc., based on different batches and sales regions. For example, it can print temporary "scan to receive coupon" activity codes on snack packaging, assisting businesses in precise marketing. Furthermore, the non-contact printing method does not put pressure on thin and fragile food packaging, effectively preventing food spoilage caused by packaging damage.

Conclusion: Empowering High-Quality Industry Development with Technology Adapted to Scenario-Specific Needs

From weather resistance traceability of plastic pipes to safety and compliance of food packaging, CIJ Continuous Inkjet Printers consistently focus on "scenario-based needs," addressing industry pain points through technological innovation. In today's increasingly intelligent and compliant industrial production environment, they are not merely marking tools, but crucial tools for enterprises to improve production efficiency and reduce compliance risks, injecting marking momentum into high-quality development across various sectors.
