Labeling and coding refer to the process of marking products, packaging, or containers with important information such as batch numbers, expiration dates, barcodes, logos, or regulatory details. These markings help with traceability, compliance, branding, and consumer information.

There are several technologies used for labeling and coding, including:

1. Inkjet Printing – Uses liquid ink to print directly onto packaging surfaces. It is ideal for high-speed production lines and can mark porous and non-porous materials

2. Label Applicators – These apply pre-printed labels to products or packaging. They are used when detailed or colorful designs are required, and they offer precision and consistency.

Each method has advantages depending on speed, durability, cost, and material compatibility, making them essential choices in modern packaging operations.
