A Clean and Reliable Solution for Every Industry

GCB Solutions has expanded its industrial coding capabilities with the addition of the BestCode Series 8 Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) system, a high-speed, non-contact printing solution designed for modern manufacturing and packaging environments. Continuous inkjet technology allows manufacturers to apply clear, consistent codes such as dates, lot numbers, and batch information directly onto products and packaging without slowing production lines. By offering the BestCode Series 8, GCB Solutions supports businesses seeking reliable product coding, marking, and labeling solutions that align with demanding operational and compliance requirements.

What is Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Coding?

Continuous inkjet coding is a widely used industrial printing method that applies ink to products without physical contact. CIJ systems are designed to operate at high speeds, making them ideal for continuous production environments where efficiency and consistency are critical.

CIJ printers are commonly used to mark variable information such as expiration dates, lot codes, batch numbers, and traceability data on a wide range of substrates, including plastics, metals, glass, paperboard, and flexible packaging. Because the printhead does not touch the product, CIJ technology performs reliably even on uneven or curved surfaces.

Why GCB Solutions Chose the BestCode Series 8

When expanding into industrial continuous inkjet coding, GCB Solutions focused on identifying a system that delivers dependable performance, flexibility across applications, and long-term value for manufacturers. The BestCode Series 8 was selected for its proven reliability in demanding production environments and its ability to integrate seamlessly into existing packaging and manufacturing lines.

This is a system that fits the operational needs of our customers today while supporting their future growth.

Key Features of the BestCode Series 8 CIJ System

The BestCode Series 8 is engineered to support consistent, high-quality coding in fast-paced industrial settings. Key features include:

High-speed, non-contact printing designed for continuous production
