Dates and batch numbers are among the most common forms of industrial packaging identification. The CIJ platform supports automatic time information and multiple date formats, allowing changing production information to be incorporated into continuous coding workflows for suitable food, beverage and bottle packaging applications.
Automatic Date Information
The system can process:
Seconds
Minutes
Hours
Dates
Weeks
Months
Years
This reduces the need to create completely new fixed content every day.
Batch Identification
Batch information provides another layer of product identification.
A typical coding structure may contain:
Production Date + Expiration Date + Batch Number
Add Machine-Readable Information
Where required, the system also supports barcode, QR and DataMatrix formats.
From Packaging to Traceability
Coding can create the visible connection between a physical package and its production information.
Conclusion
Automatic dates, batch numbers and machine-readable codes allow CIJ printing to support more structured packaging identification.
