Coding and marking for construction
Batch, reference and codes on paper sacks, cartons, pipes, profiles and pallets, in dusty environments and with heavy product.
What is marked and where
Manufacturers of construction materials (cements and mortars, insulation, pipes, profiles, ceramics, flooring) code on paper sacks, corrugated cartons, film and plastic parts. The aim is legibility from a distance and batch traceability.
Typical challenges
- Corrugated board and sack paper: porous, rough surfaces.
- Dust, humidity and outdoor storage.
- Large characters that can be read from a distance on pallets.
- PVC, PE or PP pipes and profiles with continuous marking.
- Robust printers that are simple to maintain.

Which printer do I use to mark paper sacks?
For large characters, DOD; for more definition, Hi-Res. We define it according to text size and line speed.
Does the marking withstand the outdoors?
Pigmented ink with UV resistance is the right choice for outdoor storage. We validate it on a sample.
Can plastic pipes and profiles be marked?
Yes, with inline CIJ and inks specific to PVC, PP and PE.
Do you support printers from other brands?
Yes: multi-brand technical service, on-site and remote, and OEM or compatible inks.
