Complete, automatic traceability helps avoid lost time and missed deadlines.

Print Inspection System
The Signature Folder Gluer SIG-CHECK print inspection system from American International Machinery can find every print defect on a carton — including on the flaps — without slowing down production. The SIG-CHECK can pair with your current folder gluer as a roll-up unit, or as an inline system on the Signature Folder Gluers.
Prepress Software
With packaging, time and quality are critical. Inspection systems must know what they are looking for. This is best prepared by the prepress system. HYBRID PACKZ and CLOUDFLOW help set up each job for inspection. They advise what to look for — zones, color, variable data, barcodes, and more.
