Marking solutions for traysealers

Ensure precise labeling and data printing on tray-sealed packages with integrated solutions that enhance production reliability and minimize downtime, suitable for complex product ranges from food to medical goods.

The DP Series Direct Web Printers from MULTIVAC are precision-engineered for seamless integration with traysealers, providing reliable marking and labeling solutions across a range of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products. These printers excel in printing variable data like best-before dates, batch numbers, and barcodes with high accuracy on packaging films during continuous, high-speed operations.

Special features of the DP Series include an integrated printing module that is precisely matched to your traysealer for optimal performance, capable of handling all standard printing processes. Whether you’re marking steak cuts for retail packaging or labeling pharmaceutical syrups, these printers adapt flexibly to various applications, covering end-products from chicken fillets to medical bandage packs.

Designed for high performance, the DP Series supports a fully automated production line with short conversion times and precise printing capabilities, ensuring minimal downtime and enhancing cost-effectiveness. Its low maintenance requirements, coupled with a durable design, contribute to sustainability and long-term investment value.

The series includes models like the DP 205 and DP 215, which are designed for printing the upper web in automatic traysealers, and the DP 225 and DP 245, which offer advanced functionalities like dual-dimensional printing and thermal inkjet processes in the discharge area. These features make the DP Series a versatile and dependable choice for any modern packaging operation.
