Widespread budget constraints may tempt manufacturers to cut consumable costs by opting for cheaper options. However, for coding and marking, choosing cheap options over those that are tried, tested and specifically designed will cost more in the long run.
According to Brandon Pearce, Pyrotec PackMark’s general manager: “Although manufacturers may save money initially, the harmful effect these consumables have on expensive printer parts will cost more money in the long term.” He warns customers not to abandon the slightly more expensive official consumables for less expensive ‘grey’ options.
To assist customers with reducing their total cost of ownership (TCO), Pyrotec PackMark offers an extensive range of consumables for marking and coding all types of primary and secondary packaging.
Features of Pyrotec PackMark’s consumables include:
Products that are extensively tested to ensure optimal performance. The entire process, from initial formulation and manufacturing to end-users, is carefully monitored.
Depending on the application, Pyrotec PackMark’s principals provide varying technologies using consumables that range from ketone/alcohol/water-based inks and Touch Dry® Hot Melt inks to thermal transfer ribbons. Within each technology, there’s an array of options customers can choose from to meet their branding requirements.
Genuine consumables provided by Pyrotec PackMark’s principals comply with industry-specific regulations such as food grade, RoHS and many others.
On-site application and chemistry support helps customers to pair the correct consumables with the right printer. This means that every application is optimised for customers’ processes.
Every production site is compliant with the best local practices and safety standards and transportation and manufacturing processes are all ISO 9001- and ISO 14001-certified. Additionally, packaging ergonomics are designed to enhance operator safety.
