Industrial Coding Solutions with Linx | Reliable UAE

Industrial coding solutions help you put essential information on products and packaging. With Reliable, explore Linx options for dates, batch numbers, barcodes and 2D codes. First, share your packaging sample and required message so we can discuss the right approach.

Date and batch coding for product identification

Manufacturing, expiry and best-before dates

Date coding places information such as production or expiry dates on the pack. For example, your message may combine a manufacturing date with a time stamp. However, the date format and shelf-life information must follow your approved product requirements.

Batch and lot numbers

A batch or lot code links a product to a production run. As a result, it can support traceability when your records connect the code to the relevant manufacturing details. In addition, clear positioning helps operators find and read the code.

Industrial coding solutions for barcodes and 2D codes

1D barcode printing

Linear barcodes provide machine-readable identification on packaging. Before selecting a solution, confirm the barcode type, size and data content. Also, share the scanning conditions so the application review considers both printing and reading.

QR and Data Matrix codes

QR and Data Matrix codes store information in a two-dimensional pattern. For instance, a QR code can contain a web address, while Data Matrix can suit compact identification tasks. Therefore, discuss the required content and available marking area together.

GS1 coding

Linx also presents solutions for GS1 coding. However, selecting a code symbol alone does not establish compliance. Confirm the required data structure and verification criteria for your application. Then, review the printed sample against those requirements.

Specialist coding formats

The Linx coding range also covers UFI codes, Plant Passport information and MRP printing. These serve specific market or application needs. Consequently, send us the exact content and destination-market requirements before discussing a solution.

Choose industrial coding solutions around your line

Linx offers several coding technologies. For example, its range includes continuous inkjet, laser marking, thermal transfer and large character printing. The appropriate choice depends on the material and the code you need to produce.

• Continuous inkjet: discuss non-contact date, batch and other coding on suitable products.
• Laser marking: explore marking on compatible materials after reviewing sample results.
• Thermal transfer: consider coding on suitable flexible packaging films.
• Large character printing: discuss outer-pack and carton identification.

Next, tell us your line speed, product spacing and available installation area. Also, identify conditions such as moisture, dust or handling after printing. These details help guide the sample marking review.

Send your sample to Reliable

To begin, provide the following information. If possible, include a short video showing the product at the proposed marking point.

• Packaging sample, material and surface colour.
• Required code text, barcode type and data content.
• Print area, character size and code position.
• Production speed and operating conditions.
• Required durability and scanning checks.

Frequently asked questions

Can one coding solution handle every packaging material?

Suitability depends on the technology, material and operating conditions. Therefore, test your actual packaging before selecting the final configuration.

What should I send for sample marking?

Send the packaging and the exact code you need. In addition, include the marking position and any durability or scanning requirements.
