Royal Pack Industries

ROYAL PACK Hand Coder (or Handy Coder) is a portable, manual, or semi-automatic marking device designed to print variable information—such as batch numbers, manufacturing dates, expiry dates, and MRP—onto various surfaces. They are designed for small-to-medium production runs, providing a cost-effective alternative to automated coding systems. Description

• Design: Compact, lightweight, handheld, and often constructed from metal or high-grade plastic for durability.
• Operation: Generally manual, requiring the user to apply pressure, though some models feature auto-inking, returning to a zero position via a spring mechanism after each stroke.
• Printing Mechanism: Typically uses rubber stereos (interchangeable characters) or rubber stamps, which are inked by a roller.
• Substrates: Suitable for porous (paper, cardboard, wood) and non-porous surfaces (plastics, glass, metal) depending on the ink type used. 

General Specifications

• Printing Area: Varies, commonly available in 2-inch to 8-inch widths (e.g., 40x325mm, 95x350mm).
• Character Size: Typically 3mm to 39mm, with some models supporting up to 48mm or 14mm, depending on the rubber stereo set.
• Ink Type: Uses quick-drying, solvent-based, or oil-based inks, available in black, red, white, and other colors.
• Capacity: Roughly 1,000 to 15,000 impressions per 10ml–40ml charge of ink.
• Weight: Lightweight, often ranging from 350 grams to 3 kg. 

Key Features

• Versatility: Capable of printing on flat, curved, or uneven surfaces.
• Ease of Use: Simple to operate with minimal training, making it suitable for unskilled labor.
• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep.
• Portability: Designed for easy movement between different production areas.
