Cardboard surface - Labelling and marking
Coding or labeling?

We help you choose the right technology

Paper, cardboard and paperboard are all cellulose products. They differ in their weight per square metre, i.e. the higher the grammage (g/m²), the thicker the material. In the packaging industry, they are used to make a wide variety of packaging materials. This versatile material is processed into folding boxes, shipping cartons and bags, as well as paper labels of all sizes and formats. Cardboard is used in almost every industry, for example to store or ship goods. For easy-to-read labels, it makes a difference whether it is an absorbent uncoated paper or coated cardboard. With our marking technology and our optimally matched consumables, every type of paper and cardboard can be coded with high contrast and labeled automatically.

Hazard symbol printed on cardboard packaging

Printing on smooth and absorbent paper

Whether high-gloss cardboard, recycled packaging or uncoated paper: our inkjet printing systems print on all cardboard surfaces cost-effectively, quickly and efficiently.

Cardboard box with corner-wrap label

Flexible, modular labeling technology

Our automatic labeling systems apply labels to any carton surface and are very flexible thanks to their modular design. You place the labels exactly where you want them: from above or below, all round, over the corner or sideways, single or multi-sided.
