Batch Coding and Inkjet Printing Solutions for Packaging & FMCG

Packaging and FMCG manufacturers in India need reliable coding solutions to print essential product information on a wide variety of packaging materials. From personal care products and cosmetics to household goods and consumer products, clear batch numbers, manufacturing dates, expiry dates and Maximum Retail Price (MRP) information, where applicable, help support product identification, traceability and labelling requirements.

LMI-LEIBINGER continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers provide flexible, non-contact coding for fast-moving production and packaging lines. They can print variable information on suitable plastic films, sachets, bottles, containers, cartons and metal packaging. With application-specific inks and automatic nozzle sealing technology, LMI-LEIBINGER helps manufacturers achieve consistent print quality while reducing cleaning-related production interruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which machine is suitable for printing batch numbers, manufacturing dates and MRP on FMCG packaging?

A continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer is a suitable solution for printing variable information on many FMCG packaging lines. LMI-LEIBINGER printers can apply batch numbers, dates and MRP information directly onto compatible packaging materials. The appropriate solution depends on the packaging surface, code size, line speed and required print durability.

LMI-LEIBINGER CIJ technology supports printing on a wide range of materials, including plastic films, PET bottles, rigid plastic containers and cardboard. However, different substrates may require different inks or printing settings. Testing the actual packaging material is recommended to confirm adhesion, drying time and readability

Yes. LMI-LEIBINGER CIJ printers can print variable information such as product codes, dates, batch numbers and prices. This allows manufacturers to change the printing content when switching between products or packaging variants. The required data handling and automation depend on the printer configuration.

LMI-LEIBINGER’s automatic nozzle sealing technology prevents ink from drying inside the printhead during production stops. This helps prevent nozzle blockages and reduces the need for cleaning before restarting production. Combined with suitable inks and correct printer settings, it supports reliable coding across production shifts.
