Videojet Technologies announced new capabilities of its Videojet 2380 large character marking system. The system features high-resolution alphanumeric text, 2D codes, and product identification information on cases, cartons, and other secondary packaging. 

A complete solution, the newest printer has direct-to-box printing functionality, which reduces pre-printed case and carton inventories to lower costs, storage needs, and waste while allowing for quick changes in print content and adapting to demand shifts, the Chicago-based company says.

With enhanced capabilities, the system can be configured to print on multiple sides of corrugated cardboard cases, paperboard cartons, and other porous packages. With a single controller managing up to four printheads that can each print up to 2.75” (70mm) in height, more information can be printed on the side of a case or carton, allowing for generic box inventories and helping manufacturers comply with supply chain and customer requirements. 

Additionally, the printer features a modular design which allows users to scale as their needs change or production grows. The system’s touchscreen controller is separate from the printhead, so it can be placed in the optimal position for the operator. The SIMPLICiTY interface’s user-friendly design, easy job editing functions, and step-by-step guides help to minimize user errors. Flexible placement of the controller enables quick installation and smooth maintenance.
