Euro pallets - securely and traceably marked

This way

"Marking Professionals" explain in Video 21 how the international goods carrier is fit for the future with REA Elektronik

Mühltal, August 15, 2023 - Euro pallets are indispensable for the international flow of goods. Around 650 million of the wooden load carriers are on the move worldwide. The flow of pallets is organized by EPAL, the European Pallet Organization. The pallets are manufactured by around 1,600 licensees. And changes are coming, because EPAL wants the classic EPAL brand stamp to soon be a thing of the past and the wooden load carriers to be marked in serialized form. Each pallet is to be given its own individual code as proof of authenticity and for traceability purposes, among other things. The challenges this produces for industrial coding and marking - a clear case for the Marking Professionals from REA Elektronik. For episode 21 of the series "Marking professionals on site", Daniel Wege (Business Development Manager) and Frank Debusmann (Sales Director national coding and marking systems) traveled to Waldbröl in North Rhine-Westphalia, to EPAL licensee CASPARI GmbH & Co KG Palette und Holzverpackungen. The video has been online since today.

In this episode, too, the "professionals" want to do more than just explain how the marking gets onto the finished product. Like in a kind of "Sendung mit der Maus" for adults, they let Jörg Caspari, Managing Director Sales & Technology at CASPARI, explain to them how Euro pallets are produced in the first place. And they see how they are marked at the end - with the EPAL emblem and the IPPC mark for international plant protection. This is done using printing systems and oil-based inks from REA JET, which have been certified and approved by EPAL and also integrate seamlessly into the fully automated production process. The future possibility of serialization through the Industry 4.0-capable devices is just one advantage. Inkjet technology instead of branding stamps reduces the risk of fire and saves energy. "Employee safety and cost reduction - a well-rounded solution. We like that," concludes Daniel Wege, before saying goodbye.
