New printer chosen for chocolate bar printing
Montezuma, a manufacturer of handma
de chocolate bars, has turned to Allen Coding Systems for assistance with the printing of its product packaging. It is now able to produce quality printing via Allen’s RX-S small character continuous ink jet printer.
The Hitachi RX-S printer was selected for its ease of use and speed, and now operates on Montezuma’s production lines at up to 60ppm, printing date codes onto gloss cardboard for a number of different products of various shapes and sizes.
Wesley James Cole, general operations manager at Montezuma, comments: “Allen Coding was recommended to us and since contacting them the service has been great. On the few occasions when new programs were being created for new products to be presented to the system, Allen Coding worked out any technical queries immediately while we were learning to use the new printer.”
Easy to install, operate and clean and offering clarity of print, the RX-S is best known for being user friendly and offering accurate, high-speed printing of a wide range of information in multiple languages on to a variety of substrates.
Montezuma had previously used date gunning by batch, and also had to apply labels manually as products came down the line. Now, dates are printed onto the finished products before they are packed into the outer cases.
Wesley concludes: “The RX-S has been easy to install, learn and maintain and the quality of print is always good.”
Founded in Brighton in 2000, Montezuma now has five shops, each located in the south of England. Its products are also available in more than 2500 fine food stores around the UK.
