Abstract: Unique codes for marking packages for liquid food are generated with a header portion (40) containing non-encrypted code-definition data ([E], [G]) that represents the code structure and/or the code generation methodology, and a payload portion (41) containing encrypted payload data ([EP]). The encryption ensures that the code is sufficiently scrambled to make guessing and fraudulent code generation difficult. The payload data, before encryption, may be defined to be unique in each code, thereby also rendering the code unique. The payload data, before encryption, may also be structured so as to enable efficient search for the code in a database. When read from a package, the code may be processed by extracting the code-definition data ([E], [G]), identifying the payload portion (41), extracting the encrypted payload data ([EP]), re-creating the payload data by decryption, and searching the database for the code based on the payload data or one or more subsets thereof.

Abstract: An arrangement adapted to package a liquid consumable product in a package. The arrangement can include an infeed to provide prepared packaging material having a first side and a second side adapted to be in contact with the consumable product, a digital printing system coupled to the infeed and adapted to print at least one color onto at least a portion of the first side of the prepared packaging material, and a packaging machine coupled to an outfeed of the digital printing system and adapted to provide a package from said prepared packaging material. The package is filled with the consumable product, and the printed first side of the prepared packaging material does not get in contact with the second side during transport of the printed prepared packaging material from the digital printing system to the packaging machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement adapted to package a liquid consumable product in a package. The arrangement comprises an infeed to provide prepared packaging material having a first side (6) and a second side (7), said second side (7) being adapted to be in contact with the consumable product, a digital printing system (4) coupled to said infeed and adapted to print at least one color onto at least a portion of the first side (6) of the prepared packaging material, a sterilization system (8) having a low voltage electron beam device (12) adapted to emit an electron beam on said first and second side (6, 7) of said packaging material, and a packaging machine (9) coupled to an outfeed of the digital printing system (4) and adapted to provide a package from said prepared packaging material, said package being filled with the consumable product. The invention also relates to a method for packaging a liquid consumable product in a package.

Abstract: An arrangement comprising at least one first processing machine arranged to process a web, and a scanning device arranged to scan the web. The arrangement also comprises a computing device configured to: receive image data of the web, analyze the data, and generate a graphic code symbol based on the analysis, and a printing device arranged to print the graphic symbol on the web for marking a web with data relating to features of the web. At least one second processing machine is arranged to further process the web, a reading device is arranged to read the graphic code symbol of the web, and a control device is configured to: receive image data relating to the graphic code symbol, decode the graphic code symbol to retrieve information regarding features of the web, and control the second processing machine to adapt the further processing of the web according to the features.
