Track products from manufacturing to shipment
We can print text, graphics, barcodes, or variable data directly onto parts during the die cutting process—eliminating secondary operations, reducing handling, and ensuring repeatable alignment across production runs.
Using advanced inline printing technology, we produce crisp, high-contrast 1D and 2D barcodes that are designed for reliable scanning and long-term legibility. QR codes, Data Matrix codes, serial numbers, and lot identification can be applied consistently across production runs to support traceability, quality control, and downstream automation.
By integrating printing directly into the converting process, parts arrive production-ready, helping reduce cycle time, minimize errors, and streamline assembly or inspection steps.
Here are some examples of the types of codes that can be printed inline during die cutting:
Barcode Type
- Data Matrix Codes (2D)
- QR Code (2D)
- Code 39 (1D)
- Code 128 (1D)
- ITF (1D)
Data
- Up to 2,335 chars
- Links via smartphone
- Up to 43 chars
- Full ASCII
- 14 digits
Common Use
- Small parts marking
- Marketing/consumer engagement
- Military, automotive
- Logistics, distribution
- Packaging labels
Variable data printing brings a new level of precision and flexibility to die cut materials—turning every part into a smart, traceable component.
Instead of static, one-size-fits-all prints, variable data printing (VDP) allows you to change information from piece to piece in a single production run. That means barcodes, serial numbers, QR codes, lot codes, or even custom text can be printed directly onto each die cut part—without slowing down production.
This capability is especially valuable in industries where traceability and accuracy matter. Manufacturers can track components through the supply chain, improve quality control, and simplify inventory management. In regulated environments, it also helps support compliance by ensuring every part carries the right identifying information.
From a production standpoint, integrating printing into the die cutting process eliminates secondary operations. There’s no need for separate labeling or post-processing—reducing handling, minimizing alignment issues, and improving overall efficiency. The result is faster turnaround times and more consistent output.
