Spark for the packaging industry

Context

Beyond quality, a safety imperative

The packaging industry, which covers a wide range of household, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products, faces the challenge of maintaining consistent quality across this diversity. Every day, production sites inspect injection-molded parts, packaging articles for decorations such as plastic or cardboard sleeves, plastic shrink sleeves, caps, blister packs, labels, or serial numbers. Rapid and rigorous quality control is crucial to prevent any appearance defects or anomalies that could jeopardize product safety.
