#KeepCodingSimple

We partner with Overby Inkjet Solutions for a reason

I have known and worked with Todd and Jeff Overby for almost two decades - it's a relationship that predates when I first started Sneed Coding Solutions, Inc. There's a reason I decided to continue working with them when I started the company and it's a simple one. Quality. The OIS (Overby Inkjet Solutions) sticker on the front of a refurbished Videojet® inkjet coder has become synonymous with quality across the industry. 

American vapor company received a continuous inkjet printer with their packaging equipment

Darrell Suriff, owner of American Vapor Company in Austin, was one of Bryan's first customers when he started the business in early 2018 and he's been one of our most valued partners ever since. He initially reached out to us when the continuous inkjet printer that came with his new package filling equipment failed on delivery. They were unable to get the printer set up to print consistently without constant down time for reconfiguration. In fact, one day it started randomly spraying ink all over their production floor. 

These are my favorite stories to share - I couldn't be prouder of how our team came together to help this customer.

We initially started working with Panola Pepper - a family owned hot sauce manufacturer based in Providence, Louisiana - earlier this summer as they were interested in our Meenjet M6 Handheld printer for date coding their retail cases. Upon speaking with our experts, they decided to order an initial unit with our 30 day performance guarantee. Unfortunately, this first purchase did not work out for their process as it was a struggle to ensure a consistent print location when manually sliding the printer across the package.

The 3 key elements for a successful TIJ installation

We offer and ship our thermal inkjet (TIJ) coding printers all over the country and in some instances around the globe, yet we don't have a single field service technician. "How is this possible?", you ask! Well, the Hewlett-Packard® driven thermal inkjet engine is maintenance free and simple to use. We call it a self-installation technology. That being said, there are three key elements to a successful install, which I'll cover here with three simple terms and definitions.

historic turnout for our first major trade show

This year's Pack Expo held in Las Vegas was the company's first major marketing exhibition and initial results and reactions indicate it was a tremendous success. The team had a strong presence at the show with Bryan, Charles, Ken, Tom, Megan and myself on hand to answer questions and assist prospective customers with hands on demonstrations of our entire inkjet printer coding line (including Meenjet printers, Handjet EBS printers and REINER jetStamp printers).

One stop shop for handheld coding printers

Over the past two years, our company has rapidly expanded the various portable and handheld inkjet coding printers we offer to our customers. So much so that I feel confident saying that we have quickly become one of the leading portable inkjet coding distributors in the country. We have printers ranging in print height, print resolution, color options and connectivity abilities. 

Costly downtime from CIJ repair opens the door for Meenjet M6 Automatic printer

Son Vo is the operations manager at Tribute Energy / Tribute logistics in Houston, TX and he had a problem that is all too common for our customers. For the last few weeks, his team had been struggling with their continuous inkjet printer. It had been serviced several times, yet every time it came back fixed it would only be a matter of days before it was down again. 

We launched the M6 Automatic earlier this summer

One of the great advantages of being a Master Distributor is our direct connection with the manufacturer. This allows us the ability to advocate on behalf of our customers and the market response we receive on products. The Meenjet M6 Automatic is a great example of this collaborative partnership we have with Meenjet.

Honey company needed a semi-automatic coding solution for their honey bottles

Christopher Keith, also known as Bubba of Bubba's Sweet Nectar, was searching for a date coding solution for his honey jars. However, he had not yet implemented a full scale production line that could utilize a standard, fix position inkjet date coder. As such, he was in search of an easy to use, portable and semi-automatic handheld inkjet coder
