Keene, N.H.- MARKEM Corporation, a world leader in innovative marking and coding solutions, such as barcode, date and lot codes, has joined with Labeling Systems Inc. (LSI), a designer and manufacturer of heavy-duty, pressure sensitive bottle wrap labelers, to offer an integrated coding and labeling solution which includes identification systems, software, supplies and services.

"LSI and MARKEM have highly compatible product lines so creating a formal relationship together was a natural fit," said William Hingle, Marketing Manager of LSI.

The LSI Series 1500 bottle wrap labeler is highly versatile and capable of labeling at speeds up to 150ppm. The MARKEM SmartDate® 5 thermal transfer coder is installed on the labeler for the printing of variable information such as barcode, date and lot codes, and offers maximum uptime, excellent flexibility and high reliability. The labeler design allows the printer to be easily integrated in the field if required.

LSI labelers easily integrate with MARKEM products such as SmartDate® thermal transfer coders and SmartLase™ laser coders, and are engineered for 24/7 production demands. Also, the versatility of LSI labelers allow for the equipment to be configured for industries including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, health and beauty aids and chemical.

LSI is part of MARKEM's OEM program, which is built on fostering mutually beneficial relationships between itself and partners' technical organizations to quickly resolve any application challenges. The company increases OEM partners' exposure through
cooperative marketing efforts, and improves OEM's revenue streams through formalized discount programs on coders, service, training and set up. Seamless integration of equipment is achieved by developing ways to control MARKEM's package coders through the OEM's touch panels, and by quoting MARKEM service as part of project costs.

Labeling Systems Inc. (LSI) was founded in 1979 in order to meet the packaging industry's need for heavy duty, pressure sensitive labelers. Located in Oakland, New Jersey, LSI offers a complete line of stand-alone and turnkey labeling systems to suit any application need.
