Direct cardboard marking

Sustainable, flexible and cost-efficient solution

Marking with digital direct printing

Digital direct printing is cost-efficient, flexible and sustainable – especially in comparison to pre-printed cardboard packaging and labels – and thus meets the spirit of the times in the industry. The printers for direct cardboard marking are small, compact and can be easily integrated into the production line, even where space is limited.

Static and variable data can be permanently applied contact-free with direct printing. Combinations of static print content such as logos or symbols and variable print content such as date, time, counter or shift code are just as possible as purely variable or static data. This allows the greatest possible scope for individualizing the print content. A printing system with flexible print head alignment allows even more flexibility.

While the space for the information to be conveyed is limited with labels, digital direct printing allows large and high-resolution print images to be created with all relevant information. Barcodes and 2D Codes can also be printed reliably and with the required edge sharpness and contrast. Several print heads can be used in cascade to increase the print area.

Digital printing systems are generally low-maintenance and require nothing more than new ink on a regular basis. This eliminates the need to stock pre-printed cardboard packaging. The same applies to pre-printed labels. Material management is simplified by the low-maintenance printing systems. This is because changeover times, which would otherwise occur during operation and cause machine downtime, can be reduced to a minimum.
