Branding Wooden Potato Crates Using Industrial Inkjet Printers

Size Really Does Matter! A major manufacturer of wooden potato crates contacted ATD. “We need to print our customer’s brand information anywhere on both sides of our potato crates with characters up to 400 mm high. The site is cold and damp and the crates have rough and dusty surfaces. Can you do it with your inkjet printers?” potato crates inkjet printed Well, the answer was “yes” and a fully working system is now installed at the customer’s plant, automatically inkjet printing two sides of 3 x 2 metre timber crates on a purpose built conveying system. Close liaison with the customers’ engineers ensured that the system integration and mechanical handling elements were achieved in a timely and precise manner.

The brand information was limited to simple text. Now, with the high resolution industrial inkjet printers, our customer can offer any font and logo, and the designs can be amended for their customers at any time. potato crate inkjet printed brand logo The new ATD industrial printing system provides: High quality consistent print.
