EyeC automated print inspection for complex packaging processes
EyeC Proofiler 600 DT, an ISO-compliant barcode inspection system, was chosen by variopack Lohnfertigungen GmbH, a German contract packaging supplier, for automated quality control of printed materials.
All checked: Content accuracy, print quality, defects and deviations
The EyeC Proofiler 600 DT combines high-resolution scanning technology with intelligent inspection software, enabling objective and reproducible verification of text, graphics, colors, and codes.
Printed products are digitally compared with approved print PDF references. In addition to checking content accuracy, the system also monitors print quality and reliably detects even the smallest deviations.

variopack uses EyeC Proofiler 600 DT for digital visual inspection of packaging.
Items inspected include films, folding cartons, labels, boxes, and package inserts.
Early error detection for streamlined approval processes
Since introducing the EyeC Proofiler 600 DT, variopack has been conducting an average of 10 to 20 inspections per day. The checks are primarily conducted on a random basis to detect potential print image deviations early on and to ensure documented approval.
The results show significant improvements in several areas. By clearly defining acceptance criteria, print deviations are reliably detected, and defective material is identified early on. This effectively prevents costly rework or potential recalls.
At the same time, automated inspection significantly reduces the effort required for manual visual inspection, allowing employees to focus more on technical evaluation rather than performing time-consuming visual comparisons.
Approval processes have also been noticeably accelerated, as inspections can be conducted directly on-site and within a short time. This shortens turnaround times and supports faster order processing.
In addition, all inspections are documented in a reproducible manner, enabling variopack to reliably meet both internal quality standards and regulatory requirements within the GMP framework.
For variopack, it is particularly crucial that the solution not only impresses technically but also tangibly simplifies and sustainably supports day-to-day work in quality management.
