The Heineken Brewery at Schilitgheim chose the Linx 500SL scribing laser coder from Linx Printing Technologies to provide effective coding onto the labels used on its glass bottles. Linx's ability to integrate the coder with Heineken's existing labelling equipment, thus ensuring a reduced production footprint, was a key reason for the choice. Heineken had been using a mask laser coding system from a rival company at its plant but wanted to adopt new technology in order to improve speed or marking and print quality. The Linx 500SL was deemed to be a perfect choice because of its high speed, excellent print quality and low cost of ownership compared to mask lasers, which require the use of CO2 gas cartridges for operation.
