Print labels directly onto film
For transparent or translucent film packaging, REA has developed a new, non-contact direct printing technology to print codes and plain text with the required contrast. In one step, the system creates a white ink mirror and immediately writes it with black ink. Color mirror and lettering then dry together in a very short time. Packaging marked in this way can be disposed of separately and recycled more easily. The new AI-based inline camera solution for checking the content of product labels (text and codes) gives extra security at high speed. The perfect interaction between marking and camera systems in the Throughput represent an essential part of quality assurance.

REA JET Labeling Systems
Labeling systems are indispensable in the modern world of industrial marking. Labels are especially used where contact-free marking technologies prove to be insufficient solutions. When automatically readable 1D or 2D codes must be applied to rough surfaces, for example, labeling can reveal its full performance potential. REA LABEL labeling systems are a reliable component of the modern production environment and provide for dependable workflows. The REA LABEL label dispenser was specially developed for the application of pre-printed adhesive labels in throughput operation. The standard system offers dispensing widths of 100 mm to 220 mm. Additional dispensing widths available upon request. With the REA LABEL ES label dispenser, dispensing speeds of up to 120 m/min are possible. The system was optimized for the following labeling applications: All-around labeling, bottom & cover labeling, side labeling, over-edge labeling and crosstrack labeling.
REA VeriMax
The REA VeriMax is a modern matrix and barcode verification device and was specially developed for fully integrated installation in production lines.
