Understanding the Extrusion Marking Process
The extrusion marking process plays a vital role in industries that manufacture plastic pipes, cables, tubes, and profiles. As materials pass through high-speed extrusion lines, marking systems apply essential information such as serial numbers, batch codes, production dates, and regulatory symbols. This data not only ensures traceability and compliance but also helps maintain brand identity and product accountability throughout the supply chain.
Unlike standard marking applications, extrusion environments present unique challenges. Heat, vibration, surface irregularities, and dust can all affect code quality. That’s why reliable, industrial-grade printers are essential for maintaining consistent output.
How Videojet Supports Extrusion Manufacturers
At Videojet, we understand that precision and uptime are critical on extrusion lines. Our marking solutions are specifically engineered to withstand demanding production conditions while delivering clear, high-contrast codes on a variety of materials—from soft plastics to rigid rubber.
Our continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers are especially suited for extrusion because of their ability to print without contact, adapting to curved or uneven surfaces with ease. For applications requiring permanent, maintenance-free coding, laser systems are also available. With intuitive user interfaces, automated cleaning, and minimal downtime, our printers help manufacturers stay focused on production — not troubleshooting.
