Desktop TIJ Coding Station | Direct-to-Product Marking (Hand or Foot Trigger)

Something a little different: TIJ directtoproduct marking ✍️📦

We’re known for labelling machinery, but in reality, labelling and coding are inseparable — and we routinely integrate everything from TTO through to laser.

For many years, we’ve supplied TIJ (thermal inkjet) on a high proportion of our desktop labelling systems, because it’s a flexible and economical way to add variable data (best before, batch codes, lot numbers, simple graphics, etc.).

This new device is a bit different — and the clever part is how it prints:

✅ The cartridge sweeps past the product (instead of moving the product past a fixed printhead)

✅ Ideal for offline coding, short runs, and mixed items with minimal fixturing

✅ Hand trigger or foot trigger operation — both supplied — so you can choose what suits your workflow best

✅ Uses the same cartridges as our normal TIJ range, so you can standardise consumables

We have a unit on display for demo and stock available. If you’d like to see the unit running, contact us, and we’ll arrange a quick demonstration (and you’re welcome to bring samples).
