Variable Data Coding Benefits N.J. Packaging Operation

The company even takes the harmony approach to its production lines, including the methods it employs to place variable data on both products and packaging at its Davlyn Industries facility in Monroe Township, N.J. There, a harmony between laser coding, small character continuous ink jet printers and, more recently, thermal transfer overprinters—all from Videojet Technologies Inc.—means crisp and consistent codes are always applied no matter the substrate, line speed or number of daily code changes. The seamless interplay between those technologies not only benefits Shiseido for tracking and tracing purposes throughout the supply chain, but it also enables it to meet a U.S. federal requirement for including lot numbers on packaging. Plus, the convenience the technologies afford means the facility’s team of mechanics can attend to more important maintenance matters within the plant besides marking and coding.
