MIT brings Videojet and MSSC Smart-Jet coding technologies to Propak Cape 2026
Johannesburg,
South Africa - Molenaar Industrial Technologies
(MIT) will showcase the breadth of Videojet’s coding and marking portfolio,
together with high-resolution thermal inkjet solutions from MSSC Smart-Jet, at
Propak Cape 2026, taking place from 27 to 29 October at the Cape Town
International Convention Centre. Visitors to Stand C10 will be able to explore
technologies designed to place accurate, legible and production-ready
information on products and packaging from the first consumer pack through to
the outer case and pallet.
For manufacturers, a code is far more than
a date or batch number. It supports traceability, inventory control, regulatory
information and brand protection, and it must remain dependable through product
changes, variable substrates, demanding line speeds and challenging plant
conditions. Together, the Videojet and MSSC Smart-Jet portfolios give producers
complementary technologies that can be matched to the application.
The right technology for every point on the line
Continuous inkjet (CIJ) printing remains a
versatile choice for high-speed, non-contact coding on a wide variety of
products and packaging. Videojet systems can apply variable text, lot and date
information, logos and machine-readable codes, including 2D DataMatrix codes,
while options suited to demanding or washdown environments help manufacturers
align the printer with the realities of the line.
For applications that call for crisp,
high-resolution variable data, thermal inkjet (TIJ) offers clean
cartridge-based printing of text, graphics and barcodes. Laser marking provides
permanent, non-ink identification, with CO₂, fibre and UV technologies available
so that the marking method can be selected for the material and required
result. Thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) is designed for flexible packaging
and labels, where sharp variable information must be added without compromising
pack presentation.
The range extends beyond primary packaging.
Large-character marking can print text, barcodes and logos directly onto cases,
while label print-and-apply systems support automated identification at case
and pallet level. Software, application-specific inks and fluids, and
line-integration options complete a portfolio built around the practical
promise of ‘pack, case and pallet covered’.
Accessible high-resolution coding with MSSC Smart-Jet
MSSC Smart-Jet provides high-resolution
thermal inkjet coding at an accessible entry point. Its systems support
variable text, dates, lot codes, graphics and barcodes for packaging and case
coding. Depending on the configuration, water- or solvent-based inks can be
used across corrugated board, plastics, films, glass and metal, while network
connectivity supports integration and remote management.
A practical conversation about performance
At Propak Cape, Molenaar Industrial
Technologies will help manufacturers identify the best fit for their actual
operating conditions. Substrate, code content, contrast, production speed,
changeover frequency, available line space and the surrounding environment all
influence the result. Looking at these factors together helps manufacturers
improve code quality, reduce avoidable interventions and build traceability
into the production process from the outset.
Food and beverage, pharmaceutical and
industrial manufacturers seeking to replace an existing coder, standardise
technology across several lines, improve variable-data quality or connect
primary, secondary and tertiary packaging identification more effectively must
be sure to visit our stand.
