The labeling specialist Rea Electronics is presenting marking solutions at FACHPACK 2025 (September 23 to 25 in Nuremberg) that relate to the current EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR) and the introduction of the Digital Product Passport (DPP). The provider is also bringing new products to the trade show. The company announced this in a press release ahead of the exhibition.
Implement PPWR
The new EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR) requires more resource-efficient packaging from 2026, necessitating numerous adaptations from the industry. According to its own statements, Rea demonstrates how these challenges can be translated into productive solutions: with environmentally friendly inks, consumable-free laser marking, recyclable materials, durable and robust systems, and consistent data integration.
Rea also aims to actively support its customers with the Digital Product Passport (DPP) by providing systems that are ready for future requirements. Digital direct printing can replace pre-printed packaging, reducing storage efforts and
waste, while also enabling individual print layouts in real-time. With code verification systems from "REA VERIFIER," users can also determine whether the applied codes are complete, legible, and compliant with standards.
Live presentations at the exhibition stand
According to Rea, 2D codes are among the top topics in the packaging industry. At FACHPACK, Rea experts, partners, and independent specialists will be available for open and practical consultations on topics like standards, line integration, and code quality in the provider's "2D Competence Center." There are also daily live presentations at the company's exhibition stand.
According to Rea, laser marking is consumable-free and almost maintenance-free in operation. The new "REA Laser CL100" with 100 watts is even more powerful than the "REA LASER CL" series standard lasers. This makes the CO2 laser faster, stronger, and gives it more performance reserves. According to the company, the newcomer is specially
designed for harsh environments. It marks packaging made of cardboard, paper, glass, plastics, and even foils with texts and graphics of all kinds up to a marking field size of 250 by 250 millimeters, including dynamic text fields.
Laser printing for improved recyclability
According to the provider, the marking is created contactlessly, precisely, quickly, safely, and depending on the requirement via engraving, color change, or color removal. In the interest of improved recyclability, Rea also offers modern marking solutions for the labeling of mono-foils with UV inks and special laser systems, according to its own statements.
Specifically for the labeling of consumer goods with rapid product rotation, the labeling specialist presents a scan-print-read complete solution. Through the automated data transfer to the controller of the printing unit and automatic teach-in of the integrated camera, both plain text and codes are checked directly after printing for readability
and content. This ensures that the correct information and the correct code are applied to the appropriate product.
Various versions for REA LABEL
There is also news from the "REA LABEL" product line. The full-color inkjet printer "REA ColorJet 2" with a one-to-one print and dispense function is now available in various versions. It is also suitable for use in automation systems. The system is complemented by an external display that is intended to provide improved visualization and higher ease of use. Among other things, it shows the cartridge filling levels and serves as a touch control interface.
At the start of the exhibition on September 23, Rea also invites you to a get-together at the exhibition stand and aims to bring industry experts, partners, and interested parties together in a relaxed after-work atmosphere under the motto "PackTalk and Drinks" from 6 PM.
