FAQs
Why are print quality inspection systems important in manufacturing?
Using a print inspection system is important in manufacturing for several reasons:
- Print inspection can affirm that labels and packaging meets regulatory requirements, brand standards, and consumer quality expectations.
- Print quality inspection systems help prevent printing errors that could lead to recalls, fines, or reputational damage.
- Inspection systems for print can improve production efficiency by catching quality issues early, reducing package waste or rework requirements.
By implementing print quality inspection on the production line, manufacturers proactively address labeling concerns and demonstrate a commitment to regulatory compliance, protecting both the customer and the brand.
What industries can benefit from print detection systems?
Any industry that relies on product labeling or printed text on packaging can benefit from print detection technology. This includes food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, medical devices, and many others.
For example, manufacturers can use print detection for:
- Inspection of food and beverage packaging to check for the correct allergy declarations.
- Inspection of pharmaceuticals to prevent consumers from receiving mislabeled prescription medicines, or incomplete dosages being marked on packaging.
- Inspection of cosmetics or personal care products to check that all ingredients that may cause sensitivity in customers are clearly listed.
- Inspection of chemical products for assurance that hazardous chemicals have clear and correct instructions for safe use and disposal.
