Reliable Coding for Flexible Film Packaging
Flexible films and foil laminates present unique coding challenges due to their surface composition, coatings and barrier properties. Achieving clear, long-lasting codes without damaging the packaging material requires the correct combination of equipment, integration and application expertise.
Codico works closely with manufacturers to identify the most suitable coding approach for each packaging line, ensuring consistent code quality, minimal downtime and seamless integration into existing production processes.
Why Coding Matters for Foil Packaging
In flexible packaging production, clear and reliable coding is essential for traceability, compliance and supply chain visibility. Codes applied to foil and flexible films typically include batch numbers, expiry dates, serialisation data and machine-readable codes used for product identification and recall management.
Codico solutions support:
Common Foil & Flexible Film Applications
Flexible films and metallised foils are used in a wide range of packaging formats where barrier protection, lightweight materials and product shelf life are critical.
Manufacturers rely on reliable coding systems to apply clear, durable information on both primary and secondary flexible packaging.
Common applications include:
These materials provide moisture, oxygen and light barrier protection while supporting efficient and lightweight packaging solutions across many industries.
Key Considerations When Coding Foil Packaging
Coding flexible films and metallised foils requires careful consideration of substrate composition, production speed and packaging configuration. Selecting the correct coding approach ensures reliable adhesion, clear readability and long-term durability.
Important factors include:
