Application of coding technology in the tobacco industry

In the tobacco industry, the use of coding technology has been a long-standing process. In addition to printing information on numbers, expiration dates, lot numbers, logos, product names, etc. for various packaging (packaging, packaging, and cartoning) of tobacco products, it is more important Through the outstanding application of coding technology, it can also provide product identification anti-counterfeit, sales management, flow tracking and other identification solutions that meet your needs.

The tobacco industry is an important livelihood industry and an important source of national profits. Therefore, the tobacco industry has strict application standards for the use of machinery and equipment. It is necessary to meet the high-speed, cleanliness requirements of the packaging line, and to meet the huge daily output (up to 10,000 or more per hour), so high-definition, high-adhesion laser marking equipment can meet the application requirements of production.

The coding technology is applied in various related functional areas:

·Anti-counterfeiting function The function of the printer's printing random code or anti-counterfeiting code allows each cigarette or every small cigarette pack to have a single code, which can be directly identified and quickly and easily. It can also provide information on price, promotion and other information. Printing on the cigarette packaging box can effectively control the sales price of tobacco and prevent market fluctuations. Laser marking improves the cost of counterfeiters, helps consumers quickly identify genuine products, and protects the legitimate interests of manufacturers. The patented ultraviolet invisible ink is used in the packaging of tobacco to increase the security.

· Marking function The high-quality inkjet printer can print various graphics, characters, letters, numbers and other information at high speed and clear on a variety of different materials.

· Marketing, production and logistics management Prints information such as serial number, bar code, and destination on product packaging and carton packaging, and accesses the database system at the same time, enabling flow tracking and cross-regional sales tracking of dealers.

In the high-speed production of cigarette factories, fast-drying inks are very effective, ensuring that each printed product's logo is clear, complete, and easily discernible, does not affect the entire production process, and effectively reduces downtime; at the tobacco monopoly point warehouse or distribution center In addition, laser machines and ink-jet printers can print information such as printing time and sales areas, and connect with internal database and management systems to improve automated logistics management at the time of shipment and storage.

At present, foreign high-quality inkjet and laser printers have the following main functions:

·Can print Chinese characters, English, digital logos, graphics, barcodes on labels or other locations.

· Suitable for printing on various materials (PVC, metal, plastic film, paper products, tin foil, etc.).

· Fast speed, suitable for high speed packaging line in the tobacco industry.

· Chinese, English and other language choices, real-time fault display, safe and effective.

· Various industrial protection grade printers from low to high, suitable for a variety of ordinary and harsh production environment.

Can print different colors of ink and high-definition laser coding.


Ink, tobacco manufacturers and monopoly bureaus that meet different requirements.

• The quick-drying ink is dried immediately after it is printed on the surface of the product, and firmly adheres to the surface of the product, and it will not be printed on other positions or the surface of the object.

·Eco-friendly ink is light and odorless, with little pollution, safe and reliable, suitable for workshops or warehouses with high sanitary standards.

· Invisible inks can only be displayed under UV light, mainly for product anti-counterfeiting.

Laser marking technology is also widely used in the tobacco industry. For example, permanent and clear, non-erasable period of validity and production lot number can be marked on glass films. Even with the invasion of water vapor and solvents, laser marking continues to last, using laser printers. No matter whether it is a flexible package, a hard package or a strip package, the code can be directly printed on the carton without any damage to the cellophane or plastic paper, and the printing can be performed at any step of the production process at any time. At the same time, laser marking can also increase the cost of counterfeiters and help consumers quickly identify the anti-counterfeiting effect.

The benefits of using inkjet technology:

· Laws and regulations Generally, industry and laws and regulations require that manufacturers must indicate the origin, specifications, manufacturers and their product information on the product or on the outer box. The use of printer technology can meet these requirements to ensure that customers sell in the market, product exports Other aspects of business conduct comply with these standards.

· Product identification The tobacco industry has a very large scope of distribution. Although the brand or trademark can be identified from the appearance of the product, the clear and stable product specifications and factory name factory logo can be quickly printed to help consumers identify genuine products and reduce counterfeit and inferior products. Invasion, reducing the cost of anti-counterfeiting, in addition to the easy wear of the logo can also protect the naked eye during transportation and handling.

· Anti-counterfeiting and cross-regional sales. Special marks (graphics, typefaces, codes) are printed on the product or outer packaging, or special counterfeit ink and laser marking functions are used to increase the cost of counterfeiters to prevent the circulation of counterfeit and counterfeit products. Therefore, in the tobacco industry, inkjet technology has become one of the most effective anti-counterfeiting measures. In addition, customers can be managed by printing different numbers, graphics, and text to prevent cross-regional sales and sales.

· The demand for logistics Printing on the product packaging bar code can speed up the classification and circulation of products, make the management between production and warehouse more reasonable and scientific, and also can strengthen the monitoring of raw material consumption and effective management of inventory.

·Product added value For the user, a clear and accurate logo is a standard method to identify the brand, but also a sign of confidence in the long-term safe use, the use of inkjet technology for the production company can improve the brand's market image and unified logo management , To play a good role in identifying the image and beautifying the appearance of the product.
