A new method of marking transit packaging, ctaimed to enhance legibility and increase packing department productivity, has been developed by the coding and marking division of Lawtons of Liverpool.
Called the Riblock Roller it is designed to mark cases, cartons, drums, hessian and paper sacks, plastic containers, labels, etc. The Riblock Roller comprises a lightweight metal drum mounted, together with inking rollers, in a handle frame. The drum surface is covered with a ribbed holder into which interchangeable type and names can be attached to the drum. One pass across the surface of the article to be marked inks the type and prints the legend.
A special feature of the unit is the use of micro-cellular plastic for the inking roller; this enables liquid ink to be dispensed with. When the inking roller runs dry (after many thousand impressions) it can quickly and simply be replaced by another pre-inked roller available in a variety of colours. Down time for re-inking is drastically cut, and it is no longer necessary to store and handle liquid ink.
Four sizes of Riblock Rollers are available ranging from a print area of 7in. by 1.5in. up to 16in, by Sin. Type characters are available in sizes from -kin. up to 2in. in both light and bold face. Made by: Lawtons of Liverpool Ltd, 60 Vauxhall Road, Liverpool, L69 3AU.
