Box & Cardboard Box Coding and Marking

Coding on cardboard boxes and cartons often comes into play at the final stage of production. No matter how fast the production line operates, if the print is unclear or illegible, the entire process will be disrupted. Therefore, in carton coding, the important thing is not just printing the text, but choosing the right system that adapts to the production speed and remains legible under all conditions.

Where is parcel coding used?

  • Product boxes coming off the production line
  • Shipping and logistics packaging processes
  • Export packaging and pallet coding
  • Warehouse and inventory management
  • Food and fast-moving consumer goods
  • Automotive and spare parts packaging
  • E-commerce shipping boxes
  • Serial numbering in mass production factories
  • Relabeling/coding at distribution centers
  • Warning and directional prints on large-volume boxes

Important Considerations for Package Coding

  • Ink should not spread on cardboard surfaces
  • On high-speed flowing lines, printing must continue without interruption
  • Large characters should be easily readable from a distance
  • Prints should not be wiped off on damp or wet surfaces
  • Dust and imperfections on the surface should not affect the print
  • A system that can operate for a long time at a low cost should be preferred
