Assured quality for luxury folding cartons

Packaging Solutions

Helping folding carton printers to conquer the most demanding markets – such as those of luxury or pharmaceutical products – while preserving their productivity, this is the objective pursued by EyeC. As a consequence, the inspection expert now offers a complete range of solutions for the outgoing control of folding cartons. Thanks to EyeC in line inspection systems, printers can check the quality of 100% of their folding cartons before delivery and eliminate any non compliant packaging automatically. The business opportunities that such systems offer are enormous.

A new inspection head, the EyeC ProofRunner Carton HiLight, can identify complex foiling defects, and this new system checks the quality of the most sophisticated folding boxes, such as the ones combining hot foil stamping and embossing. Of course, it also verifies texts, graphics, colors, 1D and 2D codes, as well as variable data.

The new integration possibilities have also captivated folding carton manufacturers. Thanks to these possibilities, printers can choose the most suitable solution to their budget and production environment. Those looking for a flexible and cost effective solution to add inspection capabilities to their existing folder gluers have found the solution in the EyeC ProofRunner Carton Pre-Feeder. This module, developed together with machine manufacturer Kohmann, can be easily connected to any folder gluer. As a result, it allows print shops to monitor quality without replacing the folder gluer. This is the ideal solution for those who wish to get the most out of their current machinery.

Those looking to invest in new machines also have many choices. EyeC has developed partnerships with several major manufacturers of folder gluers. Kama, MK, Signature, and Vega are some of the manufacturers who have integrated these inspection systems directly into their new machines.

Last but not least, folding carton manufacturers can also opt for PrintChecker. This sorting unit from Kohmann enables the operator to verify the output of several presses, independently of any folder gluers.
