Kal123ho (talk) 07:20, 30 November 2011 (UTC)Batch coding machines also known as batch printing machines, marking machines, date printing machines. These machines are very useful in following applications:

•	Very useful machines to all Pharmaceutical & other packaging industries to print Batch No.., Mfg. Date., Exp. Date., Retail Price etc.. on their plain or laminated & varnished Labels/Cartons, Polypack Bags, Pouches, tin Bottoms, Cotton Bags,bottles, jars or any solid surfaces etc...

•	For adding special information at the time of actual packing.

batch coding machines are mainly categorized in following two category..

1. contact coding type

2. Non contact coding type

they are further sub categorized into following types depending upon the type of their working..


 * Automatic

once set, works automatic, operator just have to look after its working and settings.

feeding, printing, collecting all operation done automatically, however these features varies in different make machines

 * semi automatic

machine works on its own but the feeding and collecting will be done by hand

 * Online

these machine works automatically inline with some other machine or these machine may be of continuous type, feeding can be by other machine or by hand or some feeding mechanism, but the continuous moving factor will be their, so that it can be integrated or attached in line with other online machines understand a online batch coding machine working by watching this video..

lets again come to the main category and understand them better so it will help you to choose right machine for your product..

1. contact coding type

these machines prints/marks on products by contacting the product surface, they mostly use some letters made up of metal or rubber and ink media like liquid ink or ribbon or solid ink etc to make an impression.

The letters are made offset, so while printing they give mirror image and straight print is obtained.

you can understand the working of a semi automatic contact coding machine by watching below video.. semi automatic batch coding machine

2. Non contact coding typee

these machine do not comes in contact in any way while printing or marking on products, normally these machine uses beams/spray for marking, these beams may be of laser, or the spray of ink, the most imporatnt factor when you need to use this machine your product or machine should be moving at constant speed..

the moving product are sensed by a sensor & give signal to machine which respond immediately in the form of printing.

these machine are also work as online machines. few machines in this category are Inkjet printer,Laser printer, industrial Inkjet coding machine, laser marking systems
