When working with plastic, metal or flexible tubing - especially in tough production environments – you need coding solutions that are robust, accurate and built to last. At Reynolds, we provide coding and marking technologies specifically designed for the piping and tubing industry, with minimal maintenance and maximum reliability.
Whether you're in pipe extrusion, irrigation, industrial tubing or infrastructure projects, we help you meet compliance, batch tracking and product identification requirements. Our inkjet and laser systems are adaptable to a wide range of materials and surfaces, supporting both traceability and quality assurance across the supply chain.
With deep industry experience, the Reynolds team can help you select the right solution for your plant or production line.
Plastic pipes, whether made from PVC, PE, PP or other materials, require accurate identification for compliance and product control. However, coding on smooth, non-porous plastic surfaces can be challenging. That's why our systems ensure excellent code adhesion without smudging or fading.
For pipes used outdoors or in direct sunlight, we offer solutions that withstand UV, abrasion and weather exposure. We also support coding for potable water and irrigation pipes, helping ensure safety and traceability from manufacture to installation.
Flexible tubing comes in many forms (rubber, silicone, thermoplastics and more) each with its own surface characteristics and marking requirements. Reynolds provides coding solutions that adapt to various tubing diameters, colours, shapes and lengths.
Our systems are designed for consistent, high-quality results, regardless of the material type or tubing configuration.
In industries working with steel, stainless steel, aluminium or copper, accurate and durable marking is a must. Reynolds offers coding technologies that clearly differentiate between materials and apply long-lasting identification.
Our solutions are resistant to corrosion and outdoor exposure - ideal for pipes used in demanding conditions. We also enable barcode printing and labelling on metal pipes, supporting complete traceability through the supply chain.
