In-line Box Printer

Limitronic has equipped the fit-to-size automated packaging system with a flexible digital printing station at the end of the process on each box: the In-line Box-Printer. The ability to print directly on packaging offers significant opportunities to enhance the brand image of each box, providing customers with a more personalized unboxing experience.

This custom packaging technology sizes, constructs, and labels each personalized order, creating the perfect package and eliminating the need for void fill materials. Many of these processes are currently done manually, which affects ergonomics, health, and process efficiency. Digitization and automation of packaging, along with volumetric optimization of packaging, greatly increase company productivity, reduce costs, and prevent human failures.

The solution includes Direct Container Printing, which incorporates dynamic codes for tracking and traceability of automated packaged products. This applies both internally and in terms of the necessary information for managing the logistical shipping process.

Therefore, the Direct Container Printing solution is intended for companies that engage in fulfillment platform processes, allowing them to replace manual packaging with a highly automated process.

Innovative Aspects:

• The inkjet digital printing technology has advanced significantly in recent years. Limitronic, in its innovative position, has improved print quality, speed, and efficiency.
• Additionally, Direct Container Printing technology enables precise labeling and packaging, including QR codes without interruptions at the end of the packaging line. This is essential for shipment identification and tracking in e-commerce, reducing “time-to-market.”
• The ability to customize packaging with images, variable data, and text has also enhanced the customer shopping experience and helped companies build their brand image.

As experts in the Direct Container Printing (DCP) category (direct printing technology on packaging), Limitronic offers monochrome and full-color printing systems to personalize packaging with logos, images, impactful graphics, and variable data in the packaging line.

Secondary packaging or boxes no longer serve exclusively logistical purposes (protection and transportation). They are elements of brand identity and communication, playing a crucial role in product value proposition and sales for both retail and e-commerce markets.

Limitronic’s inkjet digital printers are also renowned for their low cost, high performance, and ability to print on a wide variety of materials, making them ideal for many applications in the e-commerce market.
