AutoPrint solution for Smart Packaging

Modular solution for printing on product packaging in a single pass and on demand. 

Current Situation of the Fulfillment Logistics Market

The fulfillment logistics market in 2024 is undergoing a significant transformation driven by technological innovation, changing consumer expectations, and the need for more efficient and sustainable operations. Digitalization, sustainability, and the demand for fast and affordable deliveries are some of the key trends that are shaping today's landscape.

Boxes or secondary packaging no longer fulfil an exclusively logistical function, i.e. protection and transport. Boxes are an element of identity and communication for brands and play a key role in the value proposition and sale of the product for both the retail and e-commerce markets, which are directly related.

 

Packaging Market Needs

Digitalization and Automation:

The adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics is revolutionizing logistics operations. Many of these processes are currently being carried out manually, which is detrimental to the ergonomics, health and efficiency of the processes.These technologies can improve the efficiency, accuracy and sustainability of operations.

Sustainability:

Companies are under pressure to reduce their environmental impact. This has led to the adoption of more sustainable logistics solutions, such as multimodal transportation and supply chain optimization.

Fast and Affordable Deliveries:

The growing demand for fast and affordable deliveries is driving innovation in logistics. Companies are looking to reduce lead times and costs without compromising the quality of service.

 

 AutoPrint solution by Sealed Air and Limitronic

Limitronic, leader in direct container printing, offers a modular solution for printing on product packaging in a single pass and on demand. This solution brings quality, versatility, flexibility and operational efficiency

AutoPrint solution is presented as a successful option to address the needs of the fulfillment logistics market. This solution offers several key benefits:

 

Custom Digital Printing: AutoPrint by Limitronic digital printing technology allows for easy updates and design diversity per run with bright, long-lasting prints. Not only does this improve personalization and shipping logistics, but it also contributes to a better sustainability footprint.

Automation and Efficiency: AutoPrint integrates with current automated fit-to-size or packaging on demand systems to optimize logistics operations. This includes "Full Colour" printing options.

This digitalisation and packaging automation, as well as the volumetric optimisation of packaging, greatly increases the productivity of companies, reduces costs and avoids human error.

Sustainability: AutoPrint digital printing allows for more sustainable production by reducing waste, optimising the use of materials and therefore reducing the carbon footprint of the product. This responds to the growing demand for greener logistics practices and to achieve the perfect packaging.

 

 

 

What is the technology behind AutoPrint?

The technology behind Limitronic's AutoPrint is based on its on-demand "single-pass" direct printing system on boxes that adjusts to their dimensions, making it an excellent choice for optimising operational efficiency.

This bespoke packaging technology will size, construct and label each custom order, creating the perfect packaging and eliminating the need for gap-filling materials. Sealed Air's automated packaging allows you to keep pace with the growing number of online orders, even at peak times. Companies around the world benefit from a seamless packaging process, saving labor costs while reducing box volume and corrugated consumption.

The AutoPrint solution includes a direct printing system that incorporates dynamic codes, which allows the tracking and traceability of the automated packaged product; both internally, and in terms of the information necessary for the management of the shipment's logistics process.

Therefore, Sealed Air by Limitronic's AutoPrint technology (Direct Container Printing) is intended for companies that carry out fulfillment logistics platform processes, and will allow them to replace the manual packaging process with a highly automated process.

key aspects of this printing technology

 

Custom Digital Printing: AutoPrint by Limitronic allows for the printing of custom designs and easy updates, which is ideal for brands that need flexibility and dynamism in their packaging.

Print Quality: Delivers bright, long-lasting prints, which improves product presentation and can increase consumer engagement.

Sustainability: Limitronic's digital printing technology contributes to a better sustainability footprint by reducing waste and optimizing material use.

Integration with Automated Systems: AutoPrint integrates with Sealed Air automated packaging solutions, such as I-Pack Blank Reduction Systems and PriorityPak Automatic Bagging Solutions.

This combination of customization, quality, and sustainability makes AutoPrint by Limitronic technology a prominent choice for companies looking to improve their packaging and logistics operations.

 

AutoPrint's integration with automated systems is one of its most outstanding features, designed to optimize efficiency and productivity in logistics operations. Here are some of the key Sealed Air systems it integrates with:

  • I-Pack Void Reduction System: This system resizes the packaging to fit the size of the contents, eliminating the need for additional fillers. Not only does this reduce transportation and operating costs, but it also improves sustainability by minimizing the use of materials.
  • PriorityPak Automatic Bagging System: AutoPrint can be integrated with PriorityPak, which automates the bagging process, ensuring that products are well protected during shipping. This system is ideal for high-volume, high-speed operations.
  • E-Cube Void Reduction System: Similar to the I-Pack, and e-Cube creates optimally sized packages for a wide variety of products. This system measures the height of the content, adjusts the corrugated material and seals the box automatically, improving efficiency and reducing processing time.
  • Feeding Systems and Conveyor Belts: These automated systems facilitate the movement of products through the packaging line, reducing the need for manual intervention and increasing processing speed.

 

AutoPrint's integration with the industry's automated "Right-sized packaging for ecommerce" systems allows companies to handle large volumes of orders more efficiently, reducing costs and improving the sustainability of their operations.

 

In summary, Sealed Air by LIMITRONIC's AutoPrint solution not only addresses the current needs of the fulfillment logistics market, but also offers a combination of customization, efficiency, and sustainability that makes it a prominent choice for companies looking to stay competitive in the industry.

 

Limitronic has equipped the fit-to-size automated packaging system with a digital printing station at the end of the process: AutoPrint, thepossibility of printing directly on the packaging to improve the brand image of each box, providing the customer with a more personalized unboxing experience.

The digital inkjet printing technology developed by Limitronic and its partnership with the Direct Container Printing for Smart Packaging category is a powerful and valuable tool for the fulfillment-ecommerce market and continues to improve for the meet industry demands for immediate delivery to market.

Sealed Air & Limitronic's experience and commitment to innovation place them in a leading position with the AutoPrint digital printing solution.
