Here we are elaborating the subcategories of each type of machine. -

1. Manual Batch Coding Machine

Manual batch coding machine are compact, user-friendly solutions for low-volume packaging operations. These machines require manual effort to print essential information such as batch numbers, manufacturing dates, expiry dates, and MRP on packaging materials. Smart Pack offers multiple types under this category, each suited for specific needs:

• Handy Coder
  A lightweight, roller-based batch coder that prints on flat or curved surfaces using a simple rolling motion. It uses a rubber stereo and ink roller for direct transfer of information onto the product. Ideal for corrugated boxes, paper, and cloth bags.
   
• Hand Batch Coding Machine
  This traditional style coder uses a manually pressed type system to print details on pouches, boxes, or labels. It is widely used for short-run coding in industries like food packaging, FMCG, and pharmaceuticals.
   
• Hand Ribbon Batch Coding Machine
  Uses thermal transfer ribbon to produce clean and smudge-proof prints. Best suited for coated surfaces like laminated pouches or plastic film, it offers better print clarity and is ideal where neatness and non-smudging are critical.
   

These manual options are highly portable, affordable, and require no electricity—making them perfect for small businesses, startups, or on-site coding needs.

2. Semi-Automatic Batch Coding Machines

Semi-automatic batch coding machines are designed for medium-scale businesses that need a balance between manual operation and automation. These machines offer enhanced speed, accuracy, and versatility compared to manual coders while remaining cost-effective. Smart Pack provides several types to suit various packaging needs:

• Motorized Coding Machine (EMCC)
  A reliable electric motor-driven coder used to print batch details on cartons, pouches, and labels. It features an ink roller and rubber stereos for consistent, high-quality impressions on absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces.
   
• High-Speed Batch Coding Machine
  Designed for rapid operations, this machine delivers quick and continuous batch coding with minimal operator effort. It is suitable for medium to high production lines where time-efficiency is key.
   
• Pad Printing Machine for Plastic Bottles
  Specially designed to print on curved or uneven surfaces like plastic bottle caps and bodies. It uses a silicone pad to transfer inked images with high precision, making it ideal for cosmetic, chemical, and beverage industries.
   
• Motorized Ribbon Batch Coding Machine
  This machine uses a thermal ribbon for smudge-free and high-clarity printing on laminated, glossy, or plastic film surfaces. It ensures cleaner results compared to ink-based systems and is excellent for food, pharma, and flexible packaging.
   
• Bar Code Printer
  A compact, semi-automatic printer that prints barcodes, QR codes, product IDs, and other variable data. Ideal for labeling individual packs or cartons in retail, logistics, and warehousing sectors.
   
• Laser Printing Machine for Plastic Jar/Bottle
  A non-contact coder that uses laser technology to mark plastic surfaces permanently. It offers high-speed, maintenance-free operation and is perfect for industries requiring tamper-proof, permanent codes on bottles and jars.
   

These semi-automatic solutions provide excellent speed and accuracy for growing businesses, allowing easy batch coding on diverse materials like plastic, paper, foil, and glass.

3. Automatic Batch Coding Machines

Automatic batch coding machines are designed for high-speed production environments where minimal manual intervention and maximum efficiency are essential. These machines ensure consistent, high-quality coding on products moving along conveyor lines or integrated systems. Smart Pack offers a range of automatic solutions for various packaging needs:
