We Make Product Coding Easy

Product coding printing requires specialized equipment and materials.

GCB Solutions can provide the best product coding and marking systems available, including high-speed inkjet printers. We can help meet any vision, so your company complies with all universal product code (UPC) requirements. Our team is familiar with the needs of many industries and the latest UPC barcode standards.

Check out our blog for articles about important regulations in product coding.

The Uniform Code Council

The Uniform Code Council, now known as GS1, has set standards for everything from the digits of the UPC (with data such as the GS1 company prefix and item number) to overall dimensions, to the placement of bars and spaces. We supply the equipment that enables your business to meet these standards. Our team will even train your staff to use the inkjet printers, thermal printing systems, and other product coding equipment we install.

Industries We Work With

We’re familiar with the unique production requirements of many different sectors. Therefore, our staff can tailor custom solutions for produce, meat and poultry, and beverage and bottling companies. Whether your business specializes in medical products, construction materials, or logistics in automotive, aerospace, or contract packaging applications, GCB Solutions can work with you.

Online Carton Coding with TIJ

Our TIJ printers boast a compact design, exceptional reliability, and hassle-free integration – seamlessly fitting into current equipment setups, including cartoners. With this innovative, maintenance-free technology, expect to see sharp, high-resolution prints. From serial numbers to the intricate GS1 code, TIJ delivers speedily, making it the preferred choice for pharmaceutical industries. Cosmetic product manufacturers also favor it for the crisp 1mm text that is subtly imprinted onto their cartons.

Offline Carton Coding: When Precision Matters Most

Certain challenges might make off-line coding more suitable, especially for specific cartons like pharmaceutical ones. Two primary concerns arise:

Carton Construction: Some designs, like crash-lock, are made for manual setup, making them ideal for offline applications.
Control Difficulties: The intricacies involved in on-line data matrix coding for pre-formed cartons, combined with the need for coding a varied range in smaller volumes, often makes an offline approach more apt.

Our tailored carton feeding systems transform into independent coding hubs when equipped with a printer and/or labeler.

Client Projects

We help find the most cost-effective, reliable solutions for coding on plastic, paper, or any type of packaging. Our equipment can allow you to print directly onto cartons, cans, and bottles using the appropriate identification system. It can be customized to print on virtually any type of consumer product or package.
