Precise, durable coding across complex, multi-tiered part flows

See below how we help in production lines just like yours in your industry.

Pharmaceutical

Pharmaceutical manufacturing leaves no room for compromise. Batch codes, expiry dates and traceability marks must be accurate, consistent and fully compliant at all times. Newcode supplies both Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) printing systems designed to meet the demands of regulated pharmaceutical environments.

As the official UK distributor of Hitachi coding technologies, Newcode supports pharmaceutical manufacturers with proven systems, UK-wide service and industry-specific expertise.

Flexible coding across industrial applications

Industrial manufacturers often run mixed product lines with changing code requirements. Newcode CIJ and TIJ systems support:

  • Dates, batch and lot codes
  • Product IDs and traceability marks
  • Alphanumeric text, symbols and logos
  • Barcodes and 2D codes

In industrial manufacturing printing, each item features unique identifiers that withstand harsh factory conditions while ensuring machine readability. These identifiers appear on various materials, requiring a highly adaptable printing system with no manual adjustments. Rapid production cycles and crowded assembly lines mean that misprints can disrupt logistics, halt production, and affect quality control.

Industrial

Consumer

In consumer product manufacturing, coding is not optional. Every product must be traceable from the production line to the retail shelf. Codes must withstand handling, storage, cleaning, transport, and everyday use while remaining fully readable for scanners at every stage of the supply chain. Formats vary widely, from rigid plastics and glass to metals, cartons, and flexible packaging. Line speeds are high. Changeovers are frequent. Tolerance for error is virtually zero. A poor mark does not stay on the line. It becomes a rejected batch, a failed audit, a disrupted shipment, or a lost retail listing.

Newcode Partnership is structured for this level of operational pressure. Systems are specified against substrate, line speed, code density, and integration requirements, ensuring stability in real production conditions rather than ideal scenarios. Installations are configured for accuracy and repeatability across extended shifts and high volume output. A defined five year service contract and five year guarantee underpin that performance, providing planned maintenance, technical support, and long term assurance.

For beverage containers and packaging, the challenges are practical and constant. Condensation appears almost immediately after filling. Surfaces are curved, reflective, dark, clear, or coated. Inks can bead, smudge, or fade under refrigeration, pasteurisation, abrasion, and handling. Line speeds are high, environments are wet, and there is no margin for manual adjustment. SKU changes are frequent, while compliance demands that date codes, batch data, and traceability remain accurate and readable every time.

This is where we add value. We help manufacturers maintain clear, consistent codes on wet and cold containers, curved bottles, cans, cartons, and multipacks. We support fast changeovers without stopping the line. We ensure codes remain readable through distribution and use, not just at the point of print. The result is reliable traceability, fewer rejects, and uninterrupted production in demanding beverage environments.

Beverage

Dairy

In dairy production, packaging and containers face constant exposure to moisture, cold storage, cleaning cycles, and handling. Condensation is unavoidable. Surfaces range from plastic bottles and tubs to cartons, films, and foils, often light in colour and highly reflective. Codes must remain clear through refrigeration, transport, and daily use, while meeting strict requirements for use-by dates, batch information, and traceability. Line speeds are high, product changeovers are frequent, and hygiene standards leave no room for manual intervention or inconsistency.

We help dairy manufacturers overcome these challenges by ensuring reliable, readable codes on wet, cold, and sensitive packaging. Our systems support rapid format and SKU changes without slowing production. Codes remain legible throughout the product’s shelf life, not just at the point of application. This reduces waste, avoids compliance issues, and keeps dairy lines running smoothly in tightly controlled environments.

In frozen food production, packaging is exposed to extreme cold, condensation, frost, and repeated handling from packing through storage and distribution. Surfaces can be rigid or flexible, smooth or textured, and often difficult to mark consistently once frozen. Codes must remain clear and readable despite ice buildup, low temperatures, and abrasion, while meeting strict requirements for date coding, batch identification, and traceability. Line speeds are high, environments are harsh, and there is no opportunity to pause production to correct marking issues.

We help frozen food manufacturers maintain reliable, legible codes in sub-zero conditions. Our systems are designed to perform on cold, damp, and challenging packaging materials without constant adjustment. We support fast changeovers, consistent marking at speed, and code durability that lasts through storage and handling. The result is dependable traceability, fewer rejects, and uninterrupted production in demanding frozen environments.

Frozen

Food

In food production, packaging is exposed to moisture, oils, temperature changes, cleaning processes, and constant handling. Materials vary widely, from films and trays to cartons, wraps, and rigid containers, each with different surface behaviours. Codes must remain clear and readable through processing, packing, distribution, and use, while meeting strict requirements for use-by dates, batch data, and traceability. Line speeds are high, product ranges are broad, and changeovers are frequent, leaving little room for manual adjustment or error.

We help food manufacturers overcome these everyday challenges by delivering consistent, reliable coding across diverse packaging types and environments. Our systems maintain code clarity on difficult surfaces, support rapid SKU and format changes, and perform reliably at production speed. This ensures traceability remains intact, reduces waste and rework, and keeps food lines running smoothly under pressure.

In personal care production, products and packaging vary widely in shape, material, and finish, from flexible tubes and sachets to rigid bottles, jars, and cartons. Surfaces can be glossy, soft-touch, transparent, or highly curved, making consistent marking difficult. Codes must remain clear and durable despite handling, humidity, oils, and frequent use, while meeting batch, date, and traceability requirements. High line speeds, short production runs, and frequent SKU changes leave little tolerance for manual adjustment or inconsistency.

We help personal care manufacturers achieve reliable, high-quality coding across complex packaging formats. Our systems maintain clarity on challenging surfaces, adapt quickly to format changes, and perform consistently at speed. The result is dependable traceability, reduced rejects, and uninterrupted production in fast-moving personal care environments.

Tobacco

In the tobacco industry, traceability is mandatory and tightly regulated. Every product carries a unique identifier, often tracked across multiple suppliers, production sites, and distribution stages. Codes must withstand abrasion, environmental exposure, transport, and extended handling while remaining machine-readable at every checkpoint. Formats vary across cartons, foil, paper wraps, plastics, and metals. Production cycles are short, line layouts are optimised for efficiency, and tolerance for error is minimal. A single unreadable or incorrect code can interrupt distribution, compromise compliance records, and trigger costly investigation.

Newcode Partnership supports this level of control with marking systems specified for precision, durability, and regulatory alignment. Equipment is selected and configured around substrate type, line speed, data requirements, and integration with track and trace platforms. Installations are engineered for consistency and repeatability without constant recalibration during changeovers. A structured five year service contract and five year guarantee reinforce long term reliability, helping manufacturers maintain compliance, protect brand integrity, and keep high speed production moving without disruption.

We support a wide range of sectors including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, and industrial manufacturing, providing tailored coding and marking solutions for each.
