In the ceramics industry, where product presentation and traceability are just as critical as durability, choosing the right packaging and coding solution can significantly streamline operations. Companies like RAK Ceramics, a global leader in the sector, demonstrate the importance of maintaining both brand integrity and regulatory compliance through advanced production technologies. For mid- to high-volume ceramics manufacturers, MapleJet’s Hx Megalo provides a smart, scalable solution for durable, high-quality coding on secondary packaging.
Why Coding on Ceramics Packaging Matters
Whether it’s floor tiles, bathroom fixtures, or kitchen accessories, packaging in the ceramics industry must convey product information clearly while withstanding tough logistics environments. From fragility symbols and brand logos to batch numbers and barcodes, especially the product grade, coding on secondary packaging must remain sharp, smudge-resistant, and compliant—even under varying humidity, heat, and handling conditions during transit.
Enter Hx Megalo: Built for Large, Bold, and Durable Printing
The Hx Megalo is MapleJet’s large-character industrial inkjet printer specifically designed for high-volume industries. With a 70mm single-head print height, it enables bold, legible codes across large ceramic cartons and kraft boxes. Here’s why it stands out:
✅ Oil-Based Inks: Made for Ceramics Packaging
- Fade-proof & heat-resistant: Perfect for climates and environments where packaged goods may be exposed to extreme temperatures.
- High-contrast black: Ensures clear legibility of barcodes, logos, and handling instructions on kraft or white-coated boxes.
- OK Biobased Certified: Aligns with sustainability goals without compromising performance.
✅ Branding Compliance
Ceramics manufacturers are increasingly branding their packaging with logos and marketing messages. The Hx Megalo’s high-resolution printing allows detailed branding directly on the carton, maintaining a professional appearance and eliminating the need for pre-printed boxes.
Use Cases in the Ceramics Industry
Manufacturers need a reliable, cost-efficient way to:
- Print large, clear logos and handling instructions on export cartons
- Integrate coding with existing PLC systems for seamless automation
- Manage production data remotely across multiple production lines
The Hx Megalo delivers on all fronts, whether coding cartons for local shipment or international export.
Unified Printer Management with Hx Console
The Hx Console is a centralized software platform that lets production managers monitor and control all coding printers from primary to secondary packaging. With an intuitive dashboard:
- Monitor ink levels, print counts, and errors in real-time
- Load and update print jobs remotely
- Configure message layouts without halting the line
It’s especially useful in factories running multiple packaging lines for different product types.
MapleJet Cloud: Coding Intelligence at Scale
MapleJet Cloud complements the Hx Console by offering remote data management, analytics, and traceability.
- Printer monitoring from any smart device
- Real-time performance analytics and error alerts
For ceramic tile manufacturers using automated packaging lines, this reduces operator workload and enhances line efficiency.
Final Thoughts
With packaging requirements becoming more complex due to branding, export regulations, and rising customer expectations, investing in a smart, robust, and flexible printing solution is essential.
Hx Megalo ensures that your ceramic products leave the factory with durable, compliant, and professional packaging—reflecting the quality of the product inside. Whether you’re coding for warehouse storage or export logistics, it’s the ideal printer for modern ceramic manufacturing lines.
