In many production environments, the packaging process is still considered late in the chain, even though this step has a major impact on the reliability and continuity of the overall operation. Disruptions, deviations or inefficiencies in packaging directly affect lead times, product quality and operational costs. As a result, there is growing awareness in the Benelux market that packaging solutions play a structural role in risk management and operational reliability. This development is driving a shift in the way packaging systems are designed and implemented. The focus is moving away from maximum capacity toward robustness and predictability. Technology is used to keep processes stable under changing conditions, such as fluctuating volumes, product characteristics or material availability. The emphasis is on manageable systems that operate reliably within existing production environments. Altrimex Packaging Solutions B.V. responds to this development by designing packaging solutions with a strong focus on process reliability. By configuring dosing and packaging systems to detect and limit deviations at an early stage, greater control over output and quality is achieved. This helps reduce downtime, rework and unnecessary material waste. Scalability is also essential. In a market where production volumes can fluctuate, packaging lines must not only be efficient at peak capacity but also remain stable at lower output levels. Flexibly designed systems enable companies to adjust production without compromising reliability or process control. This approach requires technology that aligns with the daily practice of operators and technical teams. Solutions must be logical, maintenance‑friendly and transparent. In this way, packaging evolves into an essential instrument for operational stability and production continuity.

EPAL Many retailers use wooden packaging to safely transport their products. They prefer to use pallets, pallet boxes or crates with standard dimensions for this purpose. With the pallets that are provided with a so-called EPAL coding, they have this guarantee. The dimensions and specifications of these Euro pallets have been established by the European Pallet Association (EPAL). To recognize the origin and type, the pallets have brand marks, or a code. These Euro pallets are also provided with the ISPM 15 marking. The EPAL Euro pallets are exchanged throughout Europe. IPPC mark When wooden pallets are exported or imported outside the European Union, they must bear the IPPC mark (International Plant Protection Convention). These pallets must undergo a 'Heat Treatment' according to the ISPM 15 requirement to get this mark. More and more countries are making the requirements of ISPM 15 mandatory for the import of wooden packaging. Large character inkjet For you as a producer or repairer of pallets, pallet boxes or crates, the necessary codes on your wooden packaging are essential. Of course you want to guarantee your customers safe transport of their products. Previously, these codes were often burned into the pallets. However, this method of coding created a fire hazard. Code your pallets with large character inkjet. This way of coding not only ensures a clear and durable marking, but is also safe. Our large character inkjet systems from Matthews are extremely suitable for providing your wooden packaging with the necessary codes. These robust and reliable inkjet systems mark at a speed of no less than 244 meters per minute. With these printers you are guaranteed the best print on your wooden packaging. Our systems are also officially approved by EPAL.
