Hurdles in wood labeling and pallet marking
Why standard solutions are often not enough
In wood labeling and pallet marking, it is important to have robust, easy-to-read labels that adhere reliably even to rough surfaces and can withstand the demands of logistics and traceability.
Typical requirements
- Permanent marking on raw or planed wood
- Readable marking of EPAL, IPPC or internal codes
- Printing of variable data such as date, batch or serial number
- Barcode or QR code printing for traceability
- Fast labeling directly in the warehouse or goods issue
Typical challenges
- Irregular, rough and absorbent surfaces
- Different types of wood with varying surface textures
- Dust, chips and production environment impair print quality
- High mechanical stress due to transportation and stacking

Why direct printing instead of labels?
Technology Advantages
Labels are the weak point in pallet labeling: they come loose due to moisture or rough surfaces, generate waste and cost time. With REINER® TIJ printing systems, you can label directly on the material instead - robust, flexible and sustainable.
