Mondi enables label-free packaging of 35,000 parcels per day for KOMSA

Mondi

MONDI has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of Schumacher Packaging’s Western European operations.

The move has bolstered its high-performance digital solution offering, enabling customised, high-volume packaging.

KOMSA, a specialist distributor for digital infrastructure in Germany, has been using this option to print consecutive barcodes directly onto corrugated board packaging, without additional labels or manual labelling.

The company dispatches up to 35,000 parcels daily, making efficiency critical to maintaining next-day delivery. One key improvement has been the integration of consecutive barcodes directly onto the packaging using Mondi’s high-performance digital printing solution.

Some 60 scanners identify and allocate each parcel across KOMSA’s packaging line. Previously, barcodes were applied using label dispensers. Now, they are printed directly onto the packaging – precisely positioned and visible on all four sides. This approach reduces lead times, lowers costs and minimises the risk of errors.

Harald Josef Ollinger, VP marketing & communications at KOMSA, said, “The collaboration with Mondi is a real benefit for us – technologically, economically and strategically. We are not only making our logistics processes more efficient, but also more sustainable.”
