The Need
The KONVA SA factory has many codes, for many markets, and there was a need for a flexible and modern coding solution to print variable information on its products in the primary and secondary packaging.
The Solution
In order to cover the above need, KONVA SA decided to cooperate with THEODOROU GROUP, covering in the first phase the need for coding in the primary packaging (pieces) and in the second phase the need for coding in the secondary packaging (cardboard boxes). A very important factor for choosing THEODOROU GROUP as a partner was the immediacy and efficiency of the technical support it provides, as well as its expertise and know-how in the specific fields.
To meet the need for coding the primary packaging, one of the most modern models of industrial inkjet technology code printers of Domino, an internationally renowned company, represented by THEODOROU GROUP, was installed. The solution provides online management of variable information sent to print in production.
Regarding the secondary packaging, an industrial inkjet print on demand technology code printer, also from Domino, was installed. With this solution, the self-adhesive labels used to mark the cartons have been removed, and now the variable information is printed directly on them.
