Increase Construction Production output and efficiency with Technologies Such As Labelling and Direct Printing to building materials.
Marking and Coding Solutions designed for construction and building materials
With near-constant run times, dusty environments and temperature extremes, you need a coding solution that works as hard as you do. Achieving consistent code quality over the lifetime of your printer is not only possible, but with robust solutions from i-mark, you can minimise your maintenance too.
From timber yards to brickworks, insulation lines to concrete packaging, i-Mark provides reliable coding, marking, and labelling systems that keep pace with tough environments. Whether your products are shrink-wrapped, palletised, boxed, or raw materials, we help you meet regulatory labelling and coding standards, ensure traceability, and enhance durability in harsh conditions.
Scroll below to see how we do this.
Robust, reliable inkjet (continuous) coding for tough, irregular or curved surfaces.
i-mark’s Inkjet (Continuous) printers from Hitachi are built for the non-porous, high-speed demands of construction materials. Think extruded pipes, cables, metal beams, PVC or pre-cast concrete. With non-contact printing and excellent ink adhesion, our Continuous Inkjets excel at applying production dates, part numbers, and shift codes on curved or irregular components – in even the harshest of production environments.
High-definition Inkjet (Thermal) printing for building materials packaging.
Ideal for control panels, housings, sleeves, and trays, i-Mark’s Inkjet (Thermal) systems deliver precise, legible prints of 2D codes, serial numbers, or compliance icons. With quick-drying inks and an exceptional decap time, i-Mark’s thermal inkjet performs reliably during stop/start operations typical of industrial lines. A no-mess, no-maintenance solution, it integrates easily into workstations, conveyors, or robotic arms.
No engineering expertise required, printers can be set up in minutes, cutting out the need for specialist support. Easily move printers between lines to respond quickly to breakdowns or production spikes, minimising downtime.
Durable, high-resolution printing on flexible industrial packaging.
Specialised ribbons are used to transfer large, formatted information such as is required in product panels for cement sacks, insulation roll films or bagged aggregates when using i-mark’s thermal transfer printers. The process is invaluable in the construction industry.
Extremely flexible the area size it can print i-mark’s comprehensive range of enable prints to be made from 24mm to 213mm and in extreme cases it’s big Daddy can do up to 1M in length.
As serialisation moves into the world of construction this functionality is available as standard with the highest clock performance that can be experienced in the TTO world.
With premium and robust components this range is ideal for heavy use environments and extended equipment life.
The perfect cloud based message management solution.
The comprehensive message creation solution providing centralised marking and coding formats integrated into manufacturing system programs eradicating production line operator intervention thus preventing costly errors
The Nice Label Loftware software integration into manufacturing system software is crucial when looking to devolve coding information across multiple printers which in turn are across multiple stages of the manufacturing process i.e. primary to secondary to tertiary, and remove the costly errors experienced through operator errors at the production line.
The ideal message creation solution for construction Loftware NiceLabel Cloud can be up and running in minutes whilst having everything you need to manage your entire message creation process, from message design and template management to printing.
Capable of starting small and/or local it can be easily expanded to multiple locations. You also benefit from one of the most secure Cloud platforms available on the market in Microsoft Azure.
And when its all ready to go out the door
Large Character High Resolution for the Industrial printing market
With durable construction due to stainless-steel components and automated cleaning, the Inkjet (large character high resolution) is the go-to for dusty, humid environments in the construction sector
i-mark’s inkjet (large character high resolution) boasts many unique features such as the ability to print in up to 1200dpi in 8 different colours simultaneously. Can print onto non-porous surfaces as well as porous.
The i-mark high resolution groundbreaking printer provides significant gains in sustainability by removing labels enabling product and shipping details to be printed direct onto outer boxes and/or cartons.Â
With the option to print in colour this opens up endless possibilities for bespoke marketing type messages for your customers to see.
All these features at a significantly lower cost than traditional labelling and pre-printed boxes.
Fully Automatic Label Printing which requires no compressed air to operate realising 25% savings on energy consumption and enables consistency in label printing and locating.
Our scalable label printing systems can apply print on demand as well as preprinted labels in one operation to your packaging.
i-Mark’s automatic labelling systems apply high-accuracy labels to building materials, boxes and pallets, whether it’s a plastic casing, metal housing, or protective outer wrap. This is extremely useful for barcode labelling, serialised tracking, and ESD-compliant marking, in fast-paced production lines. With no compressed air, modular integration, and maintenance-light operation, i-mark’s labelling systems, maximise uptime and reduce human error whilst enhancing your sustainability efforts.
Thanks to a wide range of different applicators, it is possible to attach labels to one side or two sides. Or even across the corner of the box or food packaging that the label is being applied to. The labellers are controlled entirely with electric servo motors, which enables reliable and extremely precise labelling.
Settings can be made via the integrated touch control panel or centrally from your manufacturing software through Nice Label Loftware.
