Film printing - mobile & without label
Direct printing on plastic films, bags and flexible packaging.
Mobile marking devices can be used to apply production data, batch numbers or barcodes directly to films and flexible packaging - without labels, without additional material costs and without fixed integration into the production line.
Hurdles in the labeling of film
Why standard solutions are often not enough
Typical requirements
-
be provided with a best-before date (BBD)
-
Carry batch numbers or production data
-
can be flexibly labeled when changing products
-
remain legible even on thin, movable materials
-
be visually cleanly integrated into the packaging design
Typical challenges
-
Very smooth surfaces
-
Thin, flexible material
-
Glossy or transparent films
-
Small pressure ranges
-
Changing materials (PE, PP, composite films, etc.)
Print examples on foil
Use cases from practice
Batch labeling on foil bags
Variable data directly on packaging - flexible when changing products or batches.
Production date on plastic film
Direct printing on flexible packaging - no label, no detachment, ideal for pouches and tubular packaging.
Production date on stand-up pouch
Clean labeling on a smooth film surface with variable data.
Why direct printing instead of labels on film?

Practical example
Applications, experiences, and tips
A medium-sized confectionery manufacturer from North Rhine-Westphalia produces fruit gums and marshmallow products for the retail trade as well as for promotional and seasonal items. The manufacturer opted for the jetStamp® 1025 sense. With the integrated 1D and 2D barcode scanning function, production data can be transferred directly from the production order.
Result:
- Flexible labeling for special productions
- Fewer errors thanks to scan & print process
- No additional label consumption
- Quick adjustment for batch changes
- Uniform labeling on the packaging
