Digital Package and Label Printing

Color Measurement for Digital Package and Label Printing

Digital package and label printing involves a wide range of substrates, including coated and uncoated papers, films, foils, and transparent materials. These applications require precise color control to ensure brand consistency, regulatory compliance, and high visual quality across different production runs and printing systems.

Barbieri develops spectrophotometric measurement solutions specifically designed for digital printing on structured and complex materials. The instruments enable accurate and repeatable color measurement, even on challenging surfaces.

Process Control and Color Consistency

Reliable color measurement is essential for maintaining consistent output in packaging and label production. Barbieri spectrophotometers support:

• printer calibration, linearization, and ICC profiling
• consistent color reproduction across substrates and print technologies
• reduction of color deviations and production waste
• standardized color communication within the production workflow

This ensures predictable color results and stable process control in both short-run and industrial production environments.

Measurement on Structured and Transparent Materials

Packaging and label applications often include materials with complex surface characteristics such as gloss variations, textures, and transparency. Barbieri measurement systems are optimized for:

• structured and uneven substrates
• glossy and reflective surfaces
• transparent and semi-transparent materials

Integrated transmissive measurement capabilities enable accurate characterization of transparent substrates, supporting applications such as clear labels and flexible packaging.
