You can choose to print your own markers or have them produced for you from your data. With your own printer, you do not need to order every marker in advance. You can produce planned markers yourself, while also handling changes and additional requirements as they arise. This reduces your dependence on new deliveries and helps keep work moving without unnecessary delays. But with large volumes, producing and sorting all the markers yourself can become a lot of work.
Printing your own markers makes sense when:
you want to keep control of production in-house
marking data may change
additional marking needs to be produced quickly
you need to produce different types of marking as required
Having your markers produced makes sense when:
marking data is stable
volumes are high
much of the work can be planned in advance
you want the marking to be produced and sorted before installation
It does not have to be one or the other. Planned volumes can be ordered pre-printed and sorted, while Print-on-site gives you the flexibility to handle changes along the way.
A solution for producing your own marking
It is about more than the printer itself. The Partex print-on-site solution combines printers, marker profiles and software, making it possible to create and produce marking where it is needed.
The Promark T-2000 is a portable option for printing directly on site. If you need to produce a wider range of marking types, the MK10-EOS and MK10-SQUIX are other options to consider. Promark Creator software is used to create and manage the marking.
“In many projects, you know a lot in advance, but not everything. With Print-on-site, you can keep the flexibility to deal with changes along the way,” says Philip Andersson, Sales Manager at Partex Nordic.
What suits your way of working?
Start by looking at what you need to mark, the volumes involved, how often the information changes and where the marking needs to be produced.
