Large Character Markers (LCM)
Full line of high and low resolution large character inkjet markers designed to meet the demand of any manufacturer’s secondary packaging operations
Large character markers (LCM) are robust inkjet printers that print variable information, such as batch codes, expiration dates, barcodes, 2D codes, and promotional messages directly onto packaging. These systems utilize high-quality ink and advanced technology to produce clear, legible printing on a variety of substrates, including corrugated boxes. With their ability to operate at high speeds and integrate seamlessly into production lines, LCMs enhance operational efficiency while ensuring compliance with labeling requirements. Their durability and low maintenance operation make them an ideal choice for high-volume manufacturing environments.
Videojet can also help you adjust to GS1 and FSMA standards, by ensuring your product coding and traceability processes are fully aligned with the latest compliance requirements.
Enhanced software compatibility
Now even easier to integrate into your existing production environment, the Videojet 2380 offers USB connectivity, VideojetConnectTM access, and ZPL emulation, allowing receipt of data from select third party software systems, including Markem Imaje® CoLOS® software and solutions.

Applications
Large character markers are widely used for printing variable information directly onto product packaging. They excel at printing codes, batch numbers, expiration dates, and barcodes on porous materials like corrugated boxes. Some LCM printerheads can achieve excellent printing on non-porous surfaces like plastic films and metal. LCM’s ability to print high-quality, bold characters at high speeds makes them ideal for high-volume production environments, efficiently and consistently.
FAQs
Large character markers can print on a variety of surfaces including corrugated cardboard and other packaging materials. Their versatility makes them suitable for industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, and logistics.
High-resolution large character markers produce sharper text, logos, and barcodes for a pre-printed look, while low-resolution systems are typically used for basic alphanumeric coding at high speeds.
Large character markers are widely used in food and beverage, consumer goods, pharmaceutical, and logistics industries where high-speed case coding is required.
Designed for seamless production line integration, Videojet LCM systems can connect to existing equipment and third-party software via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Their small footprint allows them to fit into most line configurations with minimal effort.
The right large character marker for your packaging line depends on the type of packaging material, the information you need to print, and the conditions of your production line. Some systems are designed for simple case coding, while others are better suited for more detailed printing and broader substrate compatibility. To find the right LCM for your packaging line, speak to a Videojet representative.
Large character markers are well suited for high-volume manufacturing and secondary packaging environments where bold, legible printing is needed at high speeds. They are commonly used on production lines that require reliable printing on corrugated boxes and other packaging materials, while supporting efficient and consistent operation.
