C&M

Industrial coding and marking (C&M) usually means printing info directly on products/packaging (dates, batch codes), while labeling involves creating and applying separate stickers/tags for detailed data (instructions, branding, compliance).

CodeIT has long experience with both industrial coding, marking and labeling and can help you with what is right for your needs. C&M is direct, faster for simple codes, great for traceability/anti-counterfeit; labeling offers flexibility, high-detail graphics, regulatory info, and easier updates. Marking can be direct (inkjet, laser) or on labels; labeling is typically printing on a separate material then affixing it.
