Thermoformed packaging: print across three areas

Print quality across three areas of thermoformed packaging material.

Print & labelsPrint quality across three areas of thermoformed packaging material.

Three printed areas to examine

The thermoformer packaging material has three printed areas. Inspection needs to examine the artwork in each specified area, focusing on the print characteristics on the material.

CIS reading of the print

Inspection uses three CIS reading areas to check artwork appearance. This case concerns print quality on thermoformed packaging material: the available information does not document checks on package contents or closure.

Inspection types

The system for artwork inspection

Checking the three areas applies print inspection to the material used by the thermoformer. The LynxLabel website provides information about the system’s inspection functions, interface and configurations.
