What is a 25.4 mm handheld inkjet printer?
The 25.4 mm (1 inch) print height is double that of a 12.7 mm printer. That room is used two ways: big characters that can be read from a distance in a godown, or many lines in one pass, such as company name, address, MRP, batch number, MFG and EXP dates together.
That makes it the usual choice for marking corrugated cartons and shipper boxes, wooden crates, woven sacks, pipes and building material, where a code has to be big, or where a full address block replaces a printed label.

Metal body or plastic body, 12.7 mm or 25.4 mm – compare the 4 models
All four PackForge handheld inkjet printers have the same 4.3-inch touch screen and print the same kinds of codes. Two things differ: the tallest code they print, and the outer body.
| Model | Max print height | Body | Price + GST | With GST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25.4 mm, metal body | 25.4 mm (1 inch) | Metal housing | ₹16,905 + ₹3,043 GST | ₹19,948 |
| 25.4 mm, plastic body (this page) | 25.4 mm (1 inch) | Hard plastic housing | ₹15,210 + ₹2,738 GST | ₹17,948 |
| 12.7 mm, metal body | 12.7 mm (½ inch) | Metal housing | ₹10,530 + ₹1,895 GST | ₹12,425 |
| 12.7 mm, plastic body | 12.7 mm (½ inch) | Hard plastic housing | ₹8,835 + ₹1,590 GST | ₹10,425 |
Metal body: A metal housing is stiffer and stands up better to drops, knocks and all-day handling on a busy packing floor, in a warehouse or at a loading bay. Plastic body: A plastic housing is lighter in the hand and costs less. It suits shops, small units and coding a few hundred packs a day.

Ink cartridge – one in the box, more when you need them
The printer comes with a 25.4 mm (1 inch) quick-drying black solvent ink cartridge, fitted and ready to print after unpacking. Solvent ink dries in seconds on surfaces that do not soak it up, such as plastic film, PET and HDPE bottles, glass, metal and foil, so the code does not smear when packs touch.
How long one cartridge lasts depends on the size of the code and the resolution: a small two-line date code uses far less ink than a large logo. Keep a spare cartridge for busy days. For replacements see TIJ ink cartridges, or send a photo of your cartridge on WhatsApp and we will confirm the right one.
- Close the cartridge cap when the printer is not in use, so the nozzles do not dry.
- Wipe the nozzle plate with a lint-free cloth if a line goes missing.
- Store spare cartridges upright, in a cool place away from flame.
Who uses it
- Exporters and traders marking cartons, crates and sacks before dispatch.
- Pipe, cable and building-material makers printing size and batch on each length.
- Warehouses and 3PLs writing lot numbers and consignee names on boxes.
- Food, spice and agri units coding sacks and master cartons.
- Fabrication shops marking part numbers on metal sheets and assemblies.
Tips for clean, readable codes
- Roll the printer at one steady speed; stopping half-way stretches or squeezes the letters.
- Keep the surface dry and free of dust and oil where the code goes.
- On curved bottles and pipes, roll along the length, not around the curve.
- Use the resolution setting: lower DPI for big codes on cartons saves ink, higher DPI for small text and QR codes.
- Charge the battery fully before a long run.
