OCR-OCV INSPECTION

Printing variable data (OCR-OCV) such as Batch and Expiry dates on packed products is nowadays a more demanding task for production lines.

More print quality is required as well as more versatility, for a wider range of printing materials and surfaces.  In addition, a 100% OCR-OCV inspection is required to avoid expensive recalls from the market.

Metapack has a wide experience in providing print&check systems for any packaging process, including difficult environments such as frozen food factories or wet bottling halls.

We support customers by advising for the most suitable and efficient printing system combined with the best machine inspection set-up. This solution provides an integrated system that can guarantee 100% verified variable data on each product on the line.

Our proposals always supply turn-key systems. Especially in case of existing lines, we are responsable for integrating the system by providing the necessary mechanical and software interfaces which are necessary for the deployment and take over of the system.
