So easy to make any packaging smart

With a laser-sensitive coating in offset printing and CO₂ laser marking in the filling process, we apply serialized GS1 Digital Link QR codes directly onto folding-carton and corrugated-board packaging - without labels or inks. We use the color-change process: the laser selectively alters the coating layer instead of removing material. That means lower energy consumption, virtually no dust, and low operating costs - at maximum line speed with high-contrast, permanent marking. 

Why color change?

• Efficient: Color change requires significantly less laser power than ablation.
• Clean: No material removal ⇒ hardly any particles, lower emissions
• Fast: State-of-the-art CO₂ lasers enable high-speed coding — ideal for high-resolution 2D codes in-line.
• Low operating costs: No consumables, minimal maintenance. 

What the code can do

• Per-pack serialization: Serial ID, batch/lot, production / best-before date (BBD).
• Real-time checks: Serial authentication (valid/invalid), batch integrity (recall notices), BBD check.
• One QR fits all: A single code serves consumers, retail, and internal processes. 

Safe at a glance
When scanned, the code immediately shows whether the pack is still within its BBD, whether the code is genuine and assigned to the correct batch, and, if needed, displays a clear recall notice. These checks run in real time and integrate seamlessly into production, retail, and service processes.
