Timber

Compliant Marking Solution for Timber Industry | CE / IPPC Certified Inkjet Coding System:

We focus on fulfilling global CE and IPPC certification requirements for timber sector, delivering compliant coding solutions for log grading, pallet marking and construction lumber traceability.
Developed with dustproof, shockproof and temperature-resistant design for dusty and vibrating production environments, our equipment enables trunk emblem printing, crate outline marking and sequential number coding for planed boards. The automated coding system seamlessly integrates with existing production lines to realize full-auto printing of brand logos, anti-counterfeit batch codes and dimensional data, helping timber manufacturers establish traceable quality control systems.

Solutions:

LION TEC provides customized high-penetration and weather-resistant inkjet coding solutions tailored for lumber processing, solid wood manufacturing and wood panel production lines. Adopting non-contact digital printing technology, the equipment adapts to rough, porous, damp and irregular wood surfaces, solving problems including ink fading, poor penetration and fuzzy marking caused by wood fiber absorption. The marking system can stably run in high-dust and variable-humidity lumber workshop environments, meeting full-process traceability, grade marking and brand identification requirements for logs, sawn timber and finished wood products.

Application Markets:

Log sawmilling, solid wood furniture processing, plywood & MDF panel production, flooring manufacturing, wooden crate & pallet fabrication, timber construction material processing, craft woodwork and wood composite material industries.

Printable Substrates:

Raw log surface, rough sawn lumber, solid hardwood & softwood board, plywood, medium-density fiberboard(MDF), particle board, impregnated wood flooring, painted wood surface, waxed timber, damp unprocessed lumber and various porous wooden composite substrates.

Printing Content:

Production batch number, unique SN serial number, production date, specification parameter, origin code, invisible anti-counterfeit QR code, variable traceability barcode, shift coding, customized brand LOGO and personalized variable serial number.

Ink Features:

  • Eco-friendly formula: Non-toxic, harmless to both the environment and human health.
  • High definition: Delivers sharp, clear print with vivid, bright colors.
  • Extreme temperature resistance: Maintains excellent print quality in high-temperature and low-temperature harsh environments.
  • Strong adhesion: Offers stable, reliable bonding performance on a wide range of substrates.
  • Fast drying: Ultra-quick drying time prevents smudging and significantly improves production efficiency.
  • Chemical resistance: Marks withstand solvents such as alcohol, ensuring readability throughout production and use.
  • Anti-migration: Characters will not shift or blur under pressure or temperature changes, remaining consistently clear and legible.
  • Abrasion resistance: Marks do not fade even after repeated contact and friction, retaining their clarity.
  • Wide color range: Available in black, white, red, yellow, blue, green, invisible, UV-curable, and more, to meet diverse production requirements.

Importance of Component Marking:

  • Industry Standard Compliance: Standardized grade and origin marking satisfies international timber trading and customs inspection specifications to realize smooth cross-border logistics and market access.
  • Full Lifecycle Traceability: Unique variable codes realize full-chain tracking from raw log harvesting, sawing processing, storage to finished wood delivery and after-sale quality management.
  • Reliable Surface Adaptability: Specially developed wood ink penetrates moderately into porous wood fiber without blurring, keeping marks intact against outdoor sunlight, moisture and long-term natural weathering.
  • Production Cost Reduction: Automated inline inkjet marking replaces hand stamping or hot branding, cutting manual labor cost and accelerating whole lumber production rhythm.
  • Brand Competitiveness Improvement: Neat high-definition brand marking improves product added value and market recognition for wood manufacturers in global timber trading market.
