Expert solutions for

PAPER / CARTONS

Our coding solutions deliver sharp, high‑contrast prints on varied paper and carton surfaces, ensuring clear, durable identification across food, beverage, pharma, cosmetics, and general manufacturing.

Coding and marking on paper and cartons is essential across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and general manufacturing.

Cartons, sleeves, cases, and paper based packaging must display clear, accurate information such as expiry dates, batch numbers, barcodes, logos, and regulatory data. Because paper and board vary widely in texture, porosity, and coating, coding systems must deliver sharp, high contrast results that remain readable throughout the supply chain.

Paper and carton substrates present a unique set of challenges for coding and marking.

While uncoated paper absorbs ink easily, coated or varnished cartons can cause smudging, poor adhesion, or low contrast if the wrong technology is used. Packaging lines often run at high speeds, and cartons may be flat, erected, folded, or moving irregularly, making consistent print placement difficult. Environmental factors such as dust from board cutting, humidity in food production, or friction during transport can degrade poorly applied codes.

Our coding solutions are engineered to overcome these challenges. TIJ printers deliver crisp, high resolution text and barcodes ideal for cartons and sleeves. CIJ systems provide fast, non contact coding for dusty or high speed environments. PIJ and monochrome print bars offer precision for variable data, graphics, and high density barcodes and laser marking provides permanent, tamper proof codes on coated or laminated board.
