Packaging Type Marking Machines

Type used in the food, tobacco, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries for date coding and batch numbering. Packaging type can also be used for foil blocking and marking on film, card, plastic, paper and metal packaging.

Packaging type can be made to suit many different applications:

Indent Marking:
Sharp faced type used to indent characters, usually into cardboard, silver foil packaging or blister packs.

Embossing/Debossing:
Male and female type are paired to produce an upstanding or sunken mark.

Hot Foil Marking:
Using flat faced characters to transfer foil onto packaging. Type is heated by a thermostatically controlled holder.

Plastic Forming:
