Print Inspection for Flexible Packaging

Our print inspection systems are designed for the demands of flexible packaging production. High-resolution imaging combined with intelligent comparison algorithms detects missing print, registration errors, colour shifts, splashes, and streaks — ensuring every metre of printed material meets your quality standards.

Key capabilities

Repeat-length comparison

Automated comparison of every printed repeat against a golden reference. Detects missing print, smearing, hickeys, and registration drift across all colour stations.

Colour monitoring

Continuous colour consistency monitoring across the web width and over time. Early warning of colour drift before it becomes a quality issue.

Barcode and text verification

Inline verification of barcodes (1D/2D), human-readable text, and variable data. Ensures regulatory and retailer compliance for every package produced.

Defect alerting and classification

Real-time operator alerts with configurable severity levels. Defects are classified by type and mapped to their position on the web for efficient review and rework.

Job setup and recipe management

Fast job changeovers with stored inspection recipes. Automated golden reference capture minimizes setup time between jobs.

Production reporting

Comprehensive reports for every production run including defect counts, quality scores, and colour trend data. Exportable for customer quality documentation.
