NCI Packaging produces a range of cans, drums, and pails for both food and industrial customers. For its can ends, the company applies a special ink that changes color when it is laser coded, enabling manufacturers to include production and traceability information.

The Linx CSL30 and Linx CSL10 lasers, supplied by Linx Printing Technologies Ltd. distributor Reynolds Group, are being used in NCI’s QA laboratory to test the effectiveness of the ink and ensure NCI customers can produce high-quality, readable codes in line with their own rigorous quality standards.
