Guarantee food safety and minimize downtime. No more unnecessary production stops due to bad sealing tape or bad prints.

Tape Print Checker - TPC

Food safety is key in the food market. Also when it comes to packing large amounts of powders in bags (milk powder, baby powder etc). Every product that leaves the factory must be 100% well packaged and encoded and will be stored in a database with image and text. The TapePrintChecker (TPC) arranges all this for you.

The presence of the closing tape is verified, whether it is full-length, without creases and whether it is neatly in line with the packaging itself. A well-sealed bag prevents rubbish in the line, during transport and also prevents claims from customers.

In addition to the closing tape, the TPC checks all desired prints in one instant, both in text and image: Batch code, Lot code, product code, Best befor date, logo etc.
All this data can be saved, linked to the image taken, so you can always search for any unique product.
