Labeling solutions for product packaging
Mobile direct printing for cardboard, film, and bag packaging—efficient, precise, and without labels.
Flexibility and cleanliness are crucial in the packaging industry. With REINER® direct printing, you can label cardboard, foil, paper, or plastic packaging directly—without labels or adhesives. Our mobile inkjet printing systems apply logos, barcodes, best-before dates, or batch numbers directly to the packaging material—cleanly, smudge-proof, and economically.
Hurdles with packaging and product labeling
Why standard solutions are often not enough
Typical requirements
- Secure labeling on different packaging materials
- Printing of variable data (best before date, batch, production date, time)
- Barcode and QR code printing in scanner-compatible quality
- Legally compliant labeling & traceability
Typical challenges
- Difficult surfaces and changing material properties
- High error costs due to incorrect labeling
- Wide range of variants (SKU, languages, export countries)
- Production pressure and lack of time
Examples of imprints in packaging labeling
Use cases from practice
Barcode and logo on cardboard
No label necessary
Print on egg carton
With different contents
Production date on plastic bag
Labeling fits perfectly into product design
Filling date on foil
Labeling without label
Why direct printing makes sense for packaging
Technology Advantages
Labels are an additional cost and error factor in many packaging processes. They have to be ordered, stored and applied - and can become detached or damaged due to moisture, friction or temperature differences. With REINER direct printing, you can mark packaging directly on the material - flexibly, quickly and without the need for additional labels.
Typical problems in packaging labeling
Our direct printing solution with REINER
Labels come loose due to moisture, dust or friction
Direct printing adheres reliably - depending on the material and ink
High costs due to label rolls, storage and reorders
No label storage required - just device and ink
Downtimes due to label change or end of roll
Ready for immediate use - no roll changes, no refilling
High costs due to label material and liner waste
No carrier material - less waste and lower running costs
Many product variants (SKU, languages, export) increase complexity
Print content flexibly adaptable - can be changed at any time
Labels do not visually match high-quality packaging
Clean, integrated labeling directly on the product
Practical example
Applications, experiences, and tips
The coffee roastery Maya Coffee 1991 in the Hammerbrook district of Hamburg stands for handcrafted premium coffee. Maya Kaffee relies on the REINER jetStamp 790 MP - a mobile marking printer for direct use at the filling location.
Result:
- No additional process steps
- Typical sources of error are eliminated
- The process is quick and uncomplicated as volumes increase
