Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in food and household manufacturing rely heavily on Vertical Form-Fill-Seal (VFFS) machines<\/strong> to automate the packaging of granular, powder-based, and flowable products. While these machines offer speed and efficiency, integrating a reliable coding system remains a significant challenge, particularly when balancing hygiene, performance, and cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Product coding\u2014such as expiry dates, batch numbers, and traceability data\u2014is not optional.<\/strong> It must be accurate, consistent, and seamlessly integrated into the high-speed VFFS workflow. Unfortunately, many traditional coding systems fail to meet these demands, resulting in downtime, product rejections, and compliance issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we break down the challenges SMEs face when coding on VFFS lines and how MapleJet\u2019s Hx Nitro thermal inkjet printer<\/strong> solves them with a compact, efficient, and maintenance-free design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
