Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing labels of different label variants, which can be produced in a simple and cost-effective manner.
- the invention also relates to a web of material with labels of different label variants, which can be produced using such a method.
- a label can be used in particular for marking or proof of origin in relation to an object to be marked.
- labels are used when it is necessary to identify the contents of a container. It is always a concern to provide an efficient and cost-effective manufacturing process for the labels.
- a method for producing labels of different label variants includes providing a starting material web with one or more label layers.
- the method further includes performing a first printing process and thereby forming a predetermined first digital print on the starting material web by means of a digital printing device, which is associated with a first label variant.
- the method further comprises performing a second printing process separate from the first printing process and thereby forming a predetermined second digital print on the starting material web by means of the or a further digital printing device, wherein the second digital print is associated with a second label variant.
- the first and the second digital print are designed in such a way that they differ with regard to a respective print image.
- the first and second printing process and the formation of the first and second digital print can be carried out without stopping in relation to a machine-guided movement of the starting material web.
- the method further includes forming a machine-readable display element on the base material web.
- the display element is designed in such a way that it is detectably different from the first and the second label variant.
- the display element is set up to display a change of brand of the label variants.
- the method also includes carrying out a punching process and thereby forming a web of material with labels of the two label variants and the machine-readable display element.
- the method also includes processing the material web, which includes checking and assembling the first label variant, detecting the display element using a checking device, severing the material web in a transition area between the label variants and checking and assembling the second label variant, so that a first label web is formed with the first label variant and a separate second label web with the second label variant.
- labels of different egg chain variants can be produced by type in a simple and cost-effective manner.
- an efficient and reliable production process can be implemented for a campaign of several label variants of a printed product, which differ, for example, not in technical parameters but in appearance.
- the process described is a combination of digital printing and campaign printing for different label variants, which are stored on appropriate webs of material or label rolls after processing.
- the starting material web can, for example, have a continuous film layer which is attached to a liner or silicone paper by means of an adhesive.
- a contour of the labels can then be punched with the aid of a punching device and the processed web of material can be produced.
- the label production it is also possible for the label production to be carried out in two separate sub-steps. In a first partial step, imprints and/or punchings can be formed that do not change from label variant to label variant, such as applying a white base imprint, a company logo and/or a color bar.
- constant processing steps such as punching or printing, which remain the same for all label variants, can be carried out in one process step, if necessary, much faster and with higher quality, such as with regard to the color coverage and/or brilliance to be formed.
- This can also be done, for example, using conventional processing options and, with regard to the labels, can be pre-produced particularly cheaply in large quantities, for example an entire annual quantity can be pre-produced as pre-product blanks.
- a corresponding second partial step can then be relieved of the previously described printing/punching steps and can also be carried out more cheaply.
- the implementation of the second partial step can, for example, preferably be carried out several times a year in smaller batches according to individual customer orders.
- the label production can therefore be broken down into two or more sub-steps and carried out at different times, always forming the Label rolls, a label check and a physical separation of the label variants are carried out.
- the design of the imprints as digital prints enables the production of different label variants without stopping the machine and changing the type, and accordingly the expenditure of time and production costs can be kept low. It is therefore not necessary to take account of downtimes of the respective machines when changing between the label variants, and high quality can also be achieved in terms of avoiding a variant intermixing of the different label variants.
- the method may also include one or more conventional prints.
- a conventional print can include printing with silicone varnish and/or printing with an adhesive layer or an adhesive layer neutralization.
- another digital print can be applied.
- the printing processes for forming a respective digital print can include inkjet printing.
- one or more further printing processes can also be carried out, which include the application of a varnish and/or a paint.
- the processing of the web of material is carried out at least in sections by means of a processing device through which the web of material is continuously guided.
- the method includes guiding the material web through the processing device and checking and manufacturing the first label variant and detecting the display element by means of the checking device.
- the control device can be implemented as a scanner or a camera or can include such a component.
- the continuous guidance of the material web through the processing device is stopped in a controlled manner and the checking and packaging of the first label variant is ended.
- all the components associated with the first label variant are removed from an area of the processing device and the method is continued by processing the remaining web of material resumed by the processing device and the second label variant is checked and assembled.
- the processing of the material web can also include cutting through the material web in a starting area of the first and/or the second label variant and removing a predetermined material web section with a plurality of labels of the first and/or the second label variant.
- a removal of labels enables one or more defective labels of the first and/or the second label variant to be exchanged if a defect is found during the checking and assembly of the respective label variant.
- the method includes checking the labels, which are assigned to the first and/or the second label variant, by means of a control device that functions, for example, on the basis of a camera.
- the method also includes comparing the checked labels with stored data for labels of the first and/or second label variant by means of a data control device, and controlling processing of the starting material web and/or the material web by means of a control unit depending on the comparison, if it is determined that a label, which is assigned to the first or the second label variant, deviates from the stored data.
- defective labels can be identified and their position on the material web can be saved and called up if necessary. For example, during the processing of the material web in the processing device, the material web can be automatically stopped at the stored position and thus enable a label exchange in a targeted and time-saving manner.
- the processing of the material web can also include recording image information of the material web using a control device in the area of the first and/or the second label variant, which includes the first and/or the second digital print. Based on a comparison of the recorded image information with stored data for the specified first and / or second digital print, a corrective action can be initiated if it is determined that the recorded image information on the first and / or second digital print beyond a specified tolerance range from the stored data for the specified first and / or second digital print. This can be the case, for example, if an outer contour of a digital print does not correspond to what is specified, so that, for example, troubleshooting is initiated and the continued application of the intolerable prints is prevented.
- the machine-readable display element can, for example, be formed in an edge region of the material web, in relation to a main extension direction of the material web, laterally spaced from a continuous usage area of the starting material web that is provided for the first and/or the second label variant. If the dimensions of the starting material web essentially correspond to those of the processed material web, the edge area also forms a corresponding side strip of the starting material web.
- starting material web refers to the initial web structure, which is processed by means of printing and, if necessary, by means of punching and/or cutting in order to produce a finished version of the material web with the label variants. The material web thus realizes a processed form of the starting material web.
- the machine-readable display element can also be designed in such a way that it comprises a first display element and a second display element, which are designed to be continuous in relation to a main direction of extension of the material web.
- the display elements are detectably distinguishable from one another, the first display element being assigned to the first label variant and the second display element to the second label variant.
- a first code is printed in a side strip next to a respective row of labels of the first label variant, while a second code is applied to the material web next to a respective row of labels of the second label variant.
- the display element can therefore be printed separately on a side strip of the web of material or also continuously, so that this feature always corresponds to the respective variant.
- the display element When changing the type, the display element changes accordingly and then corresponds to the next label variant.
- the display element implements a machine-readable feature and is designed and/or attached to or on the (starting) web of material in such a way that it cannot be confused with a label of the subsequent variant.
- the machine-readable feature may be located outside of a normal area of use that is intended for the labels.
- the display element is therefore in particular not arranged on the labels of the label variants to be formed.
- the machine-readable feature or the display element does not emulate a complete label of the successor variant, so that reliable identifiability can be achieved and confusion can be ruled out. In this way, a particularly high type purity of the respective label variant can be achieved.
- the display element is designed in such a way that it is not simply a question of changing the layout to the successor variant and therefore the label design of the successor variant is not simply used as a display element. Accordingly, the display element is in particular not equal to a regular subsequent label.
- the machine-readable display element is formed in the transition area between the first and the second label variant, so that the display element is arranged between the first and the second digital print in relation to a main extension direction of the starting material web.
- the machine-readable display element can be formed by printing on the starting material web and can include a barcode, a data matrix code and/or a printed image which differs visibly and/or machine-detectably from the first and second digital prints.
- the machine-readable display element can be designed in such a way that it includes machine-readable processing and/or control information in relation to the subsequent label variant and the subsequent label variant is processed depending on the recorded processing and/or control information of the display element.
- a production process for labels of different label variants that is possible according to the method described can have the following steps, for example:
- a production step at least one printing process for producing a campaign takes place without stopping the machine between the label variants using digital printing Change of the respective print image, whereby in the transition from one label variant to the next, a section of the (starting) material web is executed without a specific digital print image of one of the label variants.
- at least one machine-readable feature is printed on the web of material, which implements the display element for displaying a variant change of the label.
- the assembly and control of the previous variant which is formed, for example, by the first label variant, is first processed. This is done until the machine-readable feature is detected. Then the system is stopped, the control and packaging of the previous variant is completed, the machine workplace is cleaned of the previous variant and then the processing of the successor variant is started, which is then realized by the second label variant.
- all variants are stored again completely sorted.
- three, four or more different label variants can also be produced and separated according to the method described in a time-saving and cost-effective manner.
- the manufacturing steps described therefore include a first manufacturing step or manufacturing section, in which the digital printing processes are carried out, which make it possible to change the respective printed image between label variants during ongoing operation of the system without stopping the machine.
- the subsequent second production step or production section in particular for checking and packaging the label variants, takes place, for example, in another system that is stopped between the label variants in order to separate the different label variants on the same web of material.
- the stopping of the material web in this production step for the purpose of changing variants is ensured by the fact that in the previous first production step, for example in the transition area between the two consecutive label variants on the material web, the machine-readable display element is printed, which is detected in the second production step.
- Manufacturing label webs with different label variants can include one or more of the following expansion stages and/or processing steps in a manufacturing process:
- the correctness of the successor variant can be identified without stopping the machine. To do this, for example, a label of one variant is pulled off a liner while the web of material is running and then checked for correctness. Alternatively or additionally, a photograph or image of the ongoing Web of material recorded, which can be used to identify the correctness of the print image of the current label variant.
- the liner is realized, for example, as a carrier film or silicone paper on which the at least one label layer is arranged.
- the display element can also be designed in such a way that predetermined control information is also encoded, which correspondingly changes certain presettings of the processing machine.
- a graphic workflow unit a camera on the printing device, for example, detects missing labels and stores this information and the respective position of the respective error on the material web.
- a control machine which is included in the processing device, for example, stops in the exact position according to the defect information from the first production section in order to be able to exchange the defective labels.
- significantly improved security checks are possible, in that the information from the display element is checked against an identification number of the subsequent order from a GAE log.
- a switch to a new layout and the corresponding loading of the associated error log of the OEE can thus be triggered automatically by means of the machine-readable feature. In this way, a contribution can be made to even greater security against an undesired intermixing of different label variants.
- the web of material is designed in the transition area between the successive label variants so that there is a risk of unwanted Label intermixing does not exist or is kept very low.
- the web of material can be blank in the transition area, or at least without layout or text.
- no punchings can be made in the transition area in order to generally prevent the use of labels from this area.
- a section length of the transition area of the material web between the two label types is preferably dimensioned such that it corresponds to an infeed length of a processing machine of the second production section. It can thus be ensured that there are no labels from two different types or variants within the working area of the processing machine. Labels of the two different label variants are contained on an ejection roll after the first production section, which forms an input roll for the second production section, but an operator only has access to labels of the first or second label variant during processing of a label variant within the system .
- the possibilities described for carrying out the production method implement in particular a combination of uninterrupted production using digital printing for stop-free changing of layouts with a control procedure for the two label variants.
- This can contribute to the fact that there is a purity of variant or type after the second production section and that mixing of two different types of labels during the second production section is ruled out or at least counteracted.
- This also makes it possible to maintain a relatively high processing speed in the printing process without interruption, as a result of which the production costs of this process in particular are minimized.
- the machine hourly rate is usually significantly higher than in the control process in a system of the second production stage.
- a web of material with labels of different label variants has at least one label layer on which a predetermined first digital print and a predetermined second digital print are applied.
- the two digital prints are in terms of a respective print image designed to be distinguishable and the first digital print is assigned to a first label variant and the second digital print is assigned to a second label variant.
- the web of material also includes a machine-readable display element which is formed on the label layer in a detectably different manner from the first and the second label variant and is set up to indicate a change in brand of the label variants.
- the common material web is therefore designed in such a way that by processing the material web, which includes checking and assembling the first label variant, detecting the display element using a checking device, severing the material web in a transition area between the label variants and checking and assembling the second label variant , A first label web with the first label variant and a separate second label web with the second label variant can be formed.
- the machine-readable display element is formed, for example, in the transition area between the first and the second label variant, so that the display element is arranged between the first and the second digital print in relation to a main extension direction of the material web.
- the machine-readable display element is designed in such a way that it comprises a first display element and a second display element, which are continuously formed in an edge region of the material web in relation to the main direction of extension of the material web.
- the display elements are designed to be detectably different from one another and one is assigned to the first label variant and another to the second label variant.
- the material web described can be produced in particular by means of one of the methods described above, so that the described properties and features of the method are also disclosed for the material web and vice versa.
- the web of material comprises the first label variant, the adjoining transition area, in which in particular the display element can be arranged as a machine-readable feature, and the adjoining second label variant.
- the material web thus realizes an intermediate product as a preliminary stage to the homogeneously manufactured end product, which realizes two separate label rolls, one of which Labels of the first label variant and the other labels of the second

- FIGS. 5-7 exemplary embodiments of a system for producing material webs with labels of different label variants
- FIG. 8 shows a flowchart for a method for producing labels of different label variants.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 schematically show exemplary embodiments of a material web 10 with labels of different label variants 1 and 2.
- the material web 10 comprises at least one label layer with a plurality of labels which are assigned to the different label variants 1 or 2.
- the labels of the first label variant 1 have a predetermined first digital print and the labels of the second label variant 2 have a predetermined second digital print, which are applied to the labels by means of a digital printing device 102 (see FIGS. 5-7).
- the two digital prints are designed to be distinguishable with regard to a respective print image and the first digital print is assigned to the first label variant 1 and the second digital print is assigned to the second label variant 2 .
- the material web 10 further comprises a machine-readable display element 3, which is detectable differently from the first and the second label variant 1, 2 on the Material web 10 is formed and is set up to indicate a variety change of the label variants 1, 2.
- the common web of material 10 is therefore designed in such a way that by processing the web of material 10, which involves checking and assembling the first label variant 1, detecting the display element 3 by means of a control device 104, 106, cutting through the web of material 10 in a transition area 13 between the label variants 1, 2 and a control and assembly of the second label variant 2, a first label web or label roll 11 with the first label variant 1 and a separate second label web or label roll 12 with the second label variant 2 are unmixed formable.
- the display element 3 is arranged in the transition area 13 and is printed, for example, as a data matrix code. Alternatively or additionally, the display element 3 can also include a barcode, a printed image or a marking symbol. With respect to a main extension direction R of the material web 10, which also corresponds to a winding or unwinding direction with regard to a label roll, the machine-readable display element 3 is formed between the first and the second label variant 1, 2.
- the machine-readable display element 3 is designed in such a way that it comprises a first display element 5 and a second display element 6, which are continuous in relation to the main direction of extension R of the material web 10 and are formed in an edge strip 17 of the material web 10 (see Figure 2 ).
- the edge strip 17 forms a side section of the material web 10, which runs laterally along the main extension direction R to a usage area 18 that is provided for the labels of the first and/or second label variant 1, 2.
- the display elements 5, 6 are designed to be detectably different and are assigned to the first or the second label variant 1, 2.
- the transition area 13 can be free of a display element 3, 5, 6 or other symbols or, as shown in FIG.
- first or second display elements 5, 6 can be formed.
- a respective Row of labels of the first label variant 1 are each assigned the first display element 5, with no display element being arranged in the transition area 13 and subsequently in the section of the material web 10 which has the second label variant 2.
- the first display element 5 is read and identified, for example by means of a camera or a scanner, it is detected that the first label variant 1 is present. After the last display element 5 has been detected, no further display element would then be detected and the subsequent variant, which corresponds to the second label variant 2, can be automatically inferred.
- FIG. 4 schematically illustrates a label arrangement 16 as a section of the material web 10, which comprises at least one label of the first label variant 1 and a label of the second label variant 2 and at least one machine-readable display element 3. This can be formed in the transition area 13 or alternatively be assigned to one of the labels. It can also include two display elements 5 and 6 or the display element 3 or more in order to set up a particularly safe and reliable detection of a variant change of the labels on the material web 10 .
- Figures 5 to 7 show possible embodiments of a system for producing an embodiment of the material web 10 and separate label rolls 11 and 12 with a large number of labels of the first or second label variant 1, 2.
- a corresponding flowchart for a method for producing the material web 10 and the Label rolls 11 and 12 with different label variants 1, 2 are illustrated in FIG.
- the system according to Figure 5 comprises a printing device 101, the digital printing device 102 and a punching device 103.
- a starting material web 15 is provided in the form of a label roll, which has at least one continuous label layer, which is arranged, for example, on a liner or silicone paper by means of an adhesive.
- the label layer provided can also be referred to as a foil layer, from which the label layer with stamped labels emerges after processing, for example by means of stamping.
- the starting material web 15 is guided into the printing device 101, by means of which, for example, conventional printing can take place.
- a laminate or label components for the first and/or the second label variant 1, 2 can be applied.
- step S2 digital printing processes are carried out using the digital printing device 102 and the first digital print and the second digital print, which differs therefrom, are formed on the starting material web 15.
- the digital printing device 102 can be used to apply different print images for the different label variants 1, 2 without requiring a machine change or a machine stop.
- the material web 10 can thus be produced with different label variants 1 and 2 in a time-saving and cost-effective manner.
- a respective display element 3, 5 and/or 6 can be formed by means of the printing device 101 and/or by means of the digital printing device 102 in step S1 and/or step S2.
- a display element 3, 5 and/or 6 can be formed and/or arranged on the starting material web 15 in an additional step S3.
- a punching process then takes place, for example, in order to form the labels of the respective label variants 1, 2.
- This can be done after the printing process(es) by means of a punching device 103, as illustrated in FIG. Format punching can be carried out in order to form a predetermined label size and contour of the first and/or second label variant 1, 2.
- the labels of the two label variants 1 and 2 can be designed with the same shape and the same dimensions or can also be different in shape and/or size.
- the labels can also be provided already pre-punched on the starting material web 15, so that, in contrast to the illustration in FIG. 5, a punching process has already taken place before the printing process or processes.
- a function punching can also be carried out, which enables the provision of a predetermined function, such as the folding out of label sections.
- the punching device 103 can be used to make cuts, slits and/or perforations in the starting material web 15 in order, for example, to easily cut through or separate sections of the starting material web 15 or the material web 10 .
- This can, for example, relate to cutting off the edge strip 17, which is no longer required after the material web 10 has been processed.
- this can affect one or more perforations in the transition area 13 between the label variants 1 and 2, which can be used to form the two separate label rolls 11 and 12.
- the material web 10 thus represents a processed version of the starting material web 15 and comprises elements such as are illustrated in FIGS. 1-4, for example.
- the web of material 10 is then wound up and is then ready for further processing as a continuous label roll with at least two different label layouts. Further processing of the material web 10 to form the individual first and second label rolls 11 and 12 then takes place in a step S5, which is carried out, for example, in another system that includes a processing device 107 (see FIG. 6).
- the first label variant 1 forms the leading label type that is processed first when the material web 10 is unwound.
- the processing of the material web 10 then includes checking and making up the first label variant 1 until one of the display elements 3 , 5 , 6 is detected by means of a checking device 106 . The machine is then stopped and the first label variant 1 is checked and packaged.
- the material web 10 can now be severed in the transition area 13 between the label variants 1, 2.
- a work area in the processing device 107 is then cleaned of all components that are associated with the first label variant 1 . This can be, for example, the removal of samples, accompanying documents and/or replacement labels for the first label variant from the Include machine workplace.
- the processing of the successor variant, which is configured by the second label variant 2 is then started. After completion of the control and packaging of the second label variant 2, the two label variants 1 and 2 are stored separately and sorted on the associated label rolls 11 and 12.
- FIG. 7 schematically shows a further embodiment of a system for processing the starting material web 15 and the material web 10.
- the system includes a further control device 104, which can be referred to as the first control device with regard to a processing direction.
- the control device 106 forms a second control device.
- the system includes a data control device 105 and a control unit 108, which is signal-technically coupled to the data control device 105 and is designed to initiate control measures with regard to the processing of the starting material web 15 and/or the material web 10.
- the control unit 108 can be coupled in terms of signals to one or both control devices 104, 106, to the punching device 103 and/or to the processing device 107 and can record signals and/or send control signals.
- the system thus includes a graphic workflow unit that detects missing labels or defective labels of the first and/or second label variant 1, 2, for example using the first control device 104 in the form of a camera in the first system.
- This information can be stored together with position information on the material web 10 using the data control device 105 .
- the processing device 107 can be stopped in a precise position by the control unit 108 according to the stored information, in order to be able to exchange the faulty labels. This can be done, in particular, in combination with previously removed web sections that were specifically removed, for example, when the material web 10 was formed.
- sections of the material web 10 have been separated with a plurality of labels of the respective label variant 1, 2, which may be required for a exchange ready.
- Such sections can be cut off, for example, by means of the punching device 103 and made available for possible use in the working area of the processing device 107 .
- control unit 108 can, for example, prevent or deactivate punching by means of the punching device 103 if, for example, the first control device 104 determines that a defective label or insufficient digital printing of the first and/or second label variant 1, 2 has been detected . It can thus be prevented, for example, that defective labels can be peeled off and used.
- the material web 10 comprises the first label variant 1, the adjoining transition area 13, in which the display element 3 can be arranged as a machine-readable feature, and the adjoining second label variant 2 comprises two separate label rolls 11 and 12, of which the first label roll 11 has labels of the first label variant 1 and the second label roll has 12 labels of the second label variant 2.
- the methods described for producing configurations of the material web 10 and the label rolls 11, 12 enable a simple and cost-effective production of a series of different label variants 1, 2 on a carrier web or a label roll, in particular due to a continuous digital printing process. After the processing of the material web 10 with the different label variants 1 and 2, unmixed label rolls 11, 12 are formed with only one label variant 1, 2 each. reference list
