Linx Printing Technologies has launched the IJ470, a large-character inkjet printer that applies variable information directly to corrugated outer cases. The system was previewed at interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Designed for porous and semi-porous substrates, the IJ470 prints text, batch details, barcodes and graphics, with a maximum print height of 70 mm per head. The system includes built-in GS1 code creation, automatic nozzle cleaning and ink recovery.
By adding product or shipment information on the packing line, manufacturers can use the same stock of plain cases across multiple products. Depending on the application, direct coding can also reduce the need for preprinted cases or separate case labels.
