Easy to use

So simple to operate all you need is an app and your digital coder does the rest.

The Old Way

Leave behind wasted time and human error

Changing brass type is so slow and fiddly, and all backwards, no wonder so many mistakes are made. It takes up to 20 MINUTES before you are printing again

The New Way

Automatically print date and batch codes without wasting time with brass type and warm up

When you upgrade to the Marsh 241D, you can set the date to change automatically. Alternatively, use the intuitiave Code Editor on the App and change your code in few seconds.

Save

Same printer cost, same cost per code, better everything else.

Upgrade to smart digital coding for the same cost as your old hot stamp!

No messing around with brass type and waiting to warm up

When you upgrade to smart coding your old brass type set-up is replaced with a modern automated digital system. And because there’s no manual adjustment needed, temperatures remain the same under automatic control – leaving you’re ready to print with no delay.

No punctured bags or poor quality print

Over time, brass type will wear down at different rates resulting in either poor quality print or punctured bags. With the Marsh 241D you get the same results time after time.

High efficiency ribbon usage means lower running costs

The smart ribbon management optimizes ribbon advancement to ensure that waste is minimal. This reduces the need to replace the ribbon as often as with your old hot code printer.

Error Free Coding

There are many automatic date and lot code options which avoid operator input - reducing the possibility of human error. For example - the coder can be set to automatcially advance the Production Date every day.

The Marsh 241D is designed for the future.

It’s ready for potential legislation changes and retailer demands for extended code options that are already happening in other parts of the world. Upgrade and future-proof your business today.
