PPKMARKMarking plastic packaging and film
The module arrives on site assembled and tested. On a 24/7 plant the station was installed during a planned shift change — the line did not stand beyond the norm.
Line components
What goes onto a packaging line
A compact unit above the conveyor
It mounts above the existing belt. We do not touch the conveyor mechanics and do not change the plant layout — only a marking module is added.
UV laser for plastic and film
A 355 nm UV source gives a crisp code on plastic and flexible packaging with minimal heat — where the material is thin, that is the deciding property.
Inspection and rejection
The camera checks every DataMatrix right after marking. An item with an unreadable code leaves the belt before it reaches the pack.
Aggregation into a box
The box is filled by item codes, receives an SSCC and a GS1-128 label. Codes are read even through shrink film, and the conveyor does not stop for it.
Why us
Why they choose us when stopping is not an option
We assemble and test the rig at our own premises and arrive at the plant with a finished module. That leaves only installation on site — and it is installation that fits into a planned window, not a week of commissioning.
Our own workshop
We make mounts and non-standard assemblies ourselves — no waiting for a supplier and no bending your line to fit an off-the-shelf solution.
Own software
PPKLink and PPKVision are ours. 1C integration needs no outside developers.
One contractor
Design, supply, installation, commissioning and shift training in one pair of hands — no passing the buck.

FAQ
Answers before the call
Will production have to be stopped?
No. All rigging is assembled and tested at our premises in advance, and we arrive with a finished module. Installation happens in a planned window — usually a shift change or a weekend.
Does the conveyor need rebuilding?
No. The unit mounts above the existing belt and we do not touch the conveyor mechanics. The plant layout stays as it is — a marking module is added.
How fast is it done on site?
At a 24/7 plant the station was installed during a shift change — the line lost not a minute beyond the planned window. Timings for your line are worked out during the audit.
What is used to mark film and thin plastic?
A UV laser at 355 nm: it produces a crisp code with minimal heating, which matters where the material is thin.
Is aggregation into boxes needed?
If you need it, we add it to the same station: a case is filled from item codes and gets an SSCC and a GS1-128 label. Aggregation cameras read codes even through shrink film, without stopping the conveyor.
