MARKTECH DH200 Series Thermal Transfer Overprinter
Ready-to-use thermal transfer overprinting for date, expiration, serial, batch, and time-to-the-second codes on flexible packaging lines.
DH200 Series TTO printers are designed for flexible packaging in the food, pharmaceutical, and daily chemical industries. The system automatically prints production date, expiration date, serial number, batch number, and time (accurate to the second), supporting clearer product traceability.
An Android smartphone app allows quick code changes and presets, so operators do not need to swap manual brass type. Ribbon usage is optimized to help control running cost, and the process does not puncture packaging materials. The unit is intended to fit existing brackets and wiring, with literature describing a typical path to first print in about 30 minutes.
The DH200 is compatible with intermittent flexible packaging machines and labelers. Feature text cites up to 190 packs per minute on those machines; the specification table lists a maximum of 200 packs per minute. Per-code running cost is described as comparable to hot-stamp coding, with less setup and no brass type.
Key capabilities
- Thermal transfer overprinting without puncturing the pack
- Android app for presets and quick code changes
- 0° or 180° print direction; vector fonts can be scaled
- Barcodes including CODE-128, CODE-39, CODE-93, ITF, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, and QR
Typical applications
Vertical packing machines and labelling machines that need production date, shelf life, and lot codes on flexible films and labels.
