Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) or Laser?
There’s no definitive answer – both technologies deliver professional results.
Choosing the ideal coding solution for dairy packaging requires careful consideration. The dairy sector presents unique challenges: coding on varied substrates and surfaces in multiple colors, humid conditions, and evolving consumer preferences. Additionally, factors like speed, print visibility and contrast, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals, branding, and the specific shapes and sizes of products all play a role, making it far more complex than simply comparing CAPEX and OPEX.
Today’s companies must also navigate increasingly strict regulations, compliance, and traceability needs. This includes GS1-compliant QR codes and other dynamic 2D codes like the GS1 Digital Link. Efficient management of these variables helps boost profitability without compromising quality or safety.

CIJ:
The 9750 Expert Series inkjet solutions offer continuous, high-speed printing with great flexibility, contrast, and visibility. While perceived as more costly to operate than laser solutions, CIJ is ideal for specific, high-speed applications, and can often be the most cost-effective choice.
LASER:
SmartLase® CO2, Fiber, and UV laser options provide lasting, tamper-proof coding. As counterfeiting concerns grow, dairy companies are increasingly turning to permanent solutions. Though the upfront cost of a laser coder can be higher, its advantages often justify the investment. CIJ delivers good adhesion and permanence, but laser ensures a durable, 100% permanent code on most dairy containers.
