Why CIJ Printers Are Essential for Accurate Date Code Printing

Why CIJ Printers Are Essential for Accurate Date Code Printing

Improve Product Safety, Traceability & Compliance with CIJ Printing

In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, product traceability and safety are more important than ever. One simple but powerful way businesses can enhance their processes is by using a Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printer to print date codes and other critical data directly onto products.

The CM750 CIJ printer from Cyklop Needham provides the speed, reliability, and accuracy needed to stay compliant, reduce waste, and protect your brand.

Why Print Date Codes on Products?

Date codes—including manufacture dates, expiration dates, and batch numbers—serve several critical functions:

  • ✅ Ensure compliance with regulatory standards

  • ✅ Build customer trust by showing product freshness

  • ✅ Enable fast and accurate product recalls if necessary

  • ✅ Improve inventory management and traceability

Using a CIJ printer ensures this information is applied with precision and durability, even in fast-moving or demanding production environments.


Key Benefits of Using a CIJ Printer for Date Coding

🎯 Print Quality

The CM750 delivers clear, high-contrast prints on a variety of surfaces, including:

  • Curved bottles

  • Flexible pouches

  • Plastic containers

  • Cardboard cartons

  • Foil packaging

Even on uneven or slick substrates, CIJ technology ensures legible codes that don’t fade or smudge.

Speed and Efficiency

The CIJ printer’s continuous ink flow technology enables non-stop, high-speed printing, handling up to 600 characters per second. This level of performance:

  • Reduces reliance on manual intervention

  • Keeps pace with fast production lines

  • Supports large-scale batch coding with ease

🛠️ Reliability

The CM750 CIJ printer is built for round-the-clock use in demanding industrial environments. With a non-contact printhead, it stays cleaner longer and resists common issues like clogging or downtime.

This makes it ideal for industries such as:

  • 🍞 Food and beverage

  • 💊 Pharmaceuticals

  • 🧴 Cosmetics

  • 🏭 Industrial manufacturing
