Abstract
This paper is concerned with the design and development of a low-cost system for applying product information to a target area on the top of a carton passing through a cartoning machine at, typically, 60 cartons a minute. A prototype was designed and built which prints high-quality preprogrammed characters on to a range of carton sizes, can be adjusted in the x, y and z planes and can be fitted to a variety of existing packaging machines.
