Carton Coding & Carton Printing

Today’s supply chain and logistics have improved immensely due to better tracking of materials and produced goods. Government regulations, along with food and pharmaceutical safety are strong drivers for better traceability programs. Tracking begins with the raw material, goes through the production process, primary packaging and product identification, followed by secondary packaging and carton coding, palletising and distribution, finally reaching wholesalers and end consumers.

With better logistics flow within the supply chain and by having improved traceability of your inventory, you will avoid out of stock or overload of products and help your company and the full supply chain to be more efficient, productive and economic.

Traceability and inline printing

Precise traceability data printed inline on your secondary packaging allows a detailed and precise tracking process. Complementing Videojet’s solutions for primary packaging coding (ink jet printers, laser and thermal transfer printers), Videojet has a full line of large character printing products (which include carton coder and carton printer) to print directly on a variety of secondary packaging materials. Also available are Label Printer/Applicators to automatically print and apply labels in real time, throughout your production on cartons and cases, shrink wrapped packages or pallets.

What can you gain?

With inline variable printing on your secondary package you can:

Gain production flexibility
Reduce carton case and label inventory
Improve the automation process with only one bar code per box
Improve traceability with inline real time coding
Reduce manual labour; replace labels and reduce cost of ownership
Improve processes and reduce errors from manually applying labels
Improve safety: ink print cannot be removed, while labels can
Be eco-friendly: eliminate label backing and other label waste
