Laser Coding Printers Provide Clear

Imaje also installed for Fosters Group four 4040 inkjet printers to mark directly on to the secondary carton packaging using two printheads Fosters' Wolf Blass Packaging Centre (WBPC) in the Barossa Valley of South Australia, has been bottling half of Fosters wine production since 2005, including the Rosemount, Yellowglen, Wolf Blass, Lindemans and Penfolds brands

Imaje's Messajer and Mailjet addressing system integrated with polywrap and envelope printing, have been installed by TGM Mailing Services as its has expanded capacity.
The centre has three lines running five days-a-week, processing 24,000 units per hour.
Once the bottles are rinsed, filled, capped and labelled, they are packed in to cartons and then gathered on to pallets before being exported.
WBPC was looking for a single partner that could meet its coding and labelling needs with equipment that is reliable, easily programmable, capable of working at high speeds and able to print on different substrates across the packaging process, said Imaje.
Excellent after-sales service was also of key importance.
At WBPC boxes can be personalised according to customer and export demands.
For pallet labelling, eight Imaje 2000 print and apply systems do both the label printing and application automatically.
Long-tamp applicators (700mm) place labels on the two opposite sides of the pallet.
When Fosters Group opened the WBPC plant it wanted to rationalise the coding and labelling process and its relationship with Imaje is based on efficiency and uptime.
Fosters has a single contact with Imaje for ordering consumables, operator training and after-sales service.
Furthermore, because of Imaje's range of coding and labelling technology, the company was able to provide Fosters with customised and multi-technological systems to fit all stages of production and packaging.
