T-Flex® Coder Specifications

Lincoln Coders has 58 models of contact carton coders. These are the specifications for the base models that use T-Flex® rubber type, but custom configurations are available. We also have coders that use RIBtype® instead of T-Flex®. If you don't see what you need, give us a call at 800-248-4452 (or 1-260-482-8493 outside of the USA) and we would be glad to help fit you into a coder for your application.
