How to implement the plant pass?

There are several ways to apply the plant passport to your product.

• Print the plant passport on stock cards, which must then be placed in the pot.
• Print the plant passport on an (additional) plant label, which must be hung on the plant.
• Print the plant passport on the tray.
• Print the plant passport on the pot.
• etc.

Important for the choice is that the law requires that the plant passport must be applied per smallest trading unit. For example, potted plants sold through auction, plant pass per pot, tray, box, etc. is required. In this case, traders can easily split the lot without requiring a new plant passport.

By installing two alphaJET inkjet printers on opposite sides of a conveyor belt, it is also possible to mark potted plants in one step with

•  the EU plant passport, and
•  an individual, machine-readable EAN 13 barcode

In contrast to a label solution, the code is printed horizontally. This looks better, is more professional and simplifies scanning at the cash register in retail stores.
