A continuous inkjet printer (CIJ) is an industrial coding system that prints information such as batch codes, expiration dates, serial numbers, and barcodes directly onto products and packaging. CIJ printers use a continuous stream of ink droplets to create fast, non-contact markings on production lines.

A continuous inkjet printer generates a constant stream of ink droplets that are electrically charged and precisely directed onto the product surface. This technology allows manufacturers to print high-speed codes and markings on moving production lines without touching the product.

Continuous inkjet printers can print on a wide variety of surfaces including plastic, glass, metal, paperboard, cartons, labels, and flexible packaging. Specialized inks allow CIJ printers to mark both porous and non-porous materials used in industrial manufacturing.

CIJ printers are widely used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics, and consumer goods manufacturing. These systems are commonly used to print traceability codes, date codes, and product identification information.

Continuous inkjet printers provide reliable high-speed coding for modern manufacturing environments. They offer flexible printing on curved or uneven surfaces, minimal downtime, and a wide range of ink options for different materials and applications.

Continuous inkjet printers use liquid ink to print codes and markings on products and packaging, while laser marking systems create permanent marks by altering the material surface with a laser beam. CIJ printers are often preferred for flexible coding applications, while lasers are used when permanent marking is required.

CIJ printers are ideal for packaging coding because they can print small characters and traceability information at high speeds on a variety of materials. Their non-contact printing method allows them to mark products reliably even on fast-moving production lines.
