Flexibility & profitability

Coding is an essential part of production. As a means of fulfilling statutory labeling requirements, providing internal quality controls within companies, and offering tracking or information for customers, labeling is indispensable and valuable. This is why, in addition to the use-by date, labeling often also includes encoded information about the production date, the shift during which the product was packaged, and the relevant machine used in production. In the event of a recall, the data should ensure that problems in the production process can be quickly identified and remedied.
Customer loyalty measures, such as competition codes or seasonal campaigns, can be quickly implemented with flexible labeling systems.
The labeling and codes are applied either at the same time as the packaging is filled, or immediately afterwards. Here, the required speed of the labeling system thus depends on the cycle time of the packaging line. Whether in the form of bar codes, data matrix codes or individually designed texts and graphics - the range of requirements and preferences for the labeling of smooth, uneven or porous surfaces is broad.

Flower bulbs are also affected.

Conventional packaging and shrink wrap producers extend their portfolio and turn increasingly to suppliers of highly sophisticated films which are used by film converters.

For some manufacturers of film and foil the printing on PE presents a real challenge.

Coding stands for trust

Coding is a key part of everyday business. It affects every area of our lives, and every industry. The more diverse, colourful, and comfortable our everyday lives become, the more variety there is among the products our customers and partners will print with our systems, now and in the future.

Today, good coding is evidence of quality for product safety and consumers. We are aware of this and take on this responsibility every day. After all, coding stands for trust.
