In the food industry, where precision and efficiency are essential, French chocolate manufacturer Jacquot—part of the Cemoi Group—was facing significant challenges on its production line. The need to code products efficiently and without interruption was especially critical during peak seasons like Christmas and Easter.
The Challenge: Inefficient Coding and Downtime
Jacquot produces chocolates in various bag formats that require coding with production and expiration dates. However, their existing printers were falling short: frequent format changes and ongoing maintenance needs meant that the production line had to stop regularly, resulting in delays and lost productivity.
The Turning Point: Linx CJ400
Looking for a more reliable and flexible solution, Jacquot turned to Linx Printing Technologies and implemented the Linx CJ400 continuous inkjet printer.
This model stood out due to:
- Quick and easy cartridge changes
- Compact, portable design
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- User-friendly interface with icon-based navigation
Most importantly, the printer allowed fast code changes and format adaptation without shutting down the line—keeping production flowing, even during high-demand periods.
The Results: Greater Efficiency, Less Stress
Thanks to the Linx CJ400, Jacquot significantly reduced downtime and improved the clarity and consistency of their product codes. The staff could easily update print settings via the intuitive touchscreen, and the printer’s robust design stood up well to the demands of a busy confectionery factory.
Their seasonal campaigns, which were once vulnerable to costly delays, now ran more smoothly and predictably.
Conclusion
Jacquot’s case demonstrates how the right industrial printer can do more than print a date—it can transform an entire production line, bringing order to chaos, improving efficiency, and ultimately safeguarding the reputation of a beloved brand.
