AT INFO offers a range of feeding and coding solutions specifically for cards, carton sleeves and other flat packaging. This area of packaging is expanding, as cards and carton sleeves are cost-effective options for various products, particularly in sectors like food, automotive, and consumer goods.

Flat substrates such as cards and carton sleeves can significantly benefit from friction feeder technology, enhancing overall productivity. Feeders like the RF Lite and RF Auto efficiently handle most square and rectangular flat packaging, operating at speeds between 60 and 300 pieces per hour, depending on the size and shape of the substrates.

Markoprint coders excel at printing essential information, such as lot/batch numbers and expiration dates, on cards and sleeves at high speeds. Alternatively, manufacturers can choose to integrate label applicators or print-and-apply systems onto the feeder if they prefer labeling instead of direct printing. While both methods are commonly used, direct printing typically costs about half as much as labeling options.
