An additional product due to be shown at the event is a new large character printer, which is scheduled for release later this year.
According to Linx, the machine is intended for applying text, logos and graphics to porous materials such as cardboard, paper and wood for use in manufacturing, packaging and logistics.
The company will also display three machines from its laser coding portfolio.
The Linx UVG5 is intended for use on mono-recyclable films and rigid plastics and is designed for integration into production lines.
The Linx CSL30 is aimed at marking materials such as glass and rubber on high-speed lines used in sectors such as food and drink, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and electronics.
The company said the focus adjustment of the CO₂ laser marking head, which includes integrated simplified focus technology, means the laser does not need to be moved or reset for products with different heights or widths.
It said this can reduce line changeover time and the risk of mistakes where product change is frequent.
Linx’s FSL20 fibre laser coder is designed for small parts or products carrying a large amount of information in a limited area.
The company said the clarity of the codes supports traceability needs in sectors, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, automotive and electronics.
The show will also present three thermal transfer printer models for printing on flexible materials such as bags, pouches, labels and flow wrap.
The company said the systems use a range of ribbons suited to different applications and line requirements, while bi-directional stepper motors allow more prints per ribbon.
The printers also include a colour touchscreen and cassette system for set-up, operation and changeovers.
Linx product and marketing senior director Mark Cooper said: “interpack provides a global showcase for the packaging industry, and it therefore presents the ideal opportunity for us to share with visitors what we believe will be a game-changer in coding and marking for busy production managers.”
In 2024, Linx Printing Technologies introduced two inks developed for coding on flexible plastic packaging.
The Linx Black Strong Plastic-Film Ink 1015 and 3415 are intended to improve code adhesion and readability across different plastic film pack formats.
