We have great software solutions for Packaging / Printing Professionals such as Quick Pallete Maker, Boxgen 2.0 & VERAPACK -Flexible packaging Calculations.

QR Code Generating Software for Packaging Applications ( Smart Packaging)

Quick Pallet Maker is an application that was designed to help optimal box and pallet arrangements to fit more products into a pallet or container load, thus minimizing shipping costs.

All of this while adhering to plant guidelines such as practical box proportions, maximum
box weight, etc. Quick Pallet Maker can use either standard box sizes and add slack accordingly or create new box dimensions as a function of the primary package dimensions.

For users that already know their box dimensions, QPM offers an input window where the user enters box dimensions, making it even faster to obtain a result. Resulting pallets can be modified to accommodate more boxes within a layer or to shift layers to obtain greater stability. A container fill window permits loading boxes and/or pallets directly onto standard containers. Other functions include box compression calculations and inserting internal box dividers.

VERAPACK:

Now NO MORE CALCULATIONS USE VERAPACK for all your calculations for flexible packaging. No worries now, get Verapack & relax for doing all calculations.

Our flagship product has been on the market since 1990; first as a DOS program, then in 1997 as a Windows 3.x program. Verapack is now a 32-bit program for Windows 95/98/2000/NT/Me/XP and Vista operating systems.reference.

Why is this such a useful tool?
 
Flexible Packaging is used to protect snack, bakery, candy, detergents, soap wrappers and fresh cut produce in flexible packages, pouches and stand-up pouches; it is also used to make roll fed labels. 
 
The most dominant materials are polyolefins:
Oriented polypropylene film, known as BOPP film or OPP film, can be clear or transparent, metallized, and even opaque white. Polyethylene can be used as a film or it can be used as polyethylene extrusion coatings; low density and linear low density polyethylene (LDPE and LLDPE) are most common, but medium density and high density polyethylene films (MDPE and HDPE) are used as well. Polyester is the other film material used; it can be plain, PVdC coated or metallized. And pouches frequently use ultra-thin foil (0.000285 in thick, for example). Most of these materials are printed by flexography or rotogravure and then laminated by adhesive or polyethylene extrusion (PEX).
 
These materials are "specified" by gauge, yield, basis weight, and inches or microns thick. Units are standard US or metric or a mixture of US and metric (as in moisture barrier or WVTR: gm/100 in�/24 hrs). KMath makes it easy to work with these many different units, convert among the different units, and it makes accommodating the various film and foil "specifications" less cumbersome.
 
You need VERAPACK if you . . .
 
- make multi-layer laminations and want to know the total basis
  weight of the structure, its thickness, the amount on a slit roll, the
  number of impressions on that slit roll, the dollar value of that slit
  roll in materials, etc
- ever need to convert from psi to Newtons/mm�, etc, etc, etc.
- need to calculate corona energy density.
- want to compare web strengths.
- need to estimate a roll length.
- want to know the basis weight and roll length for a lamination.
- want to know the value or the materials on that roll.
- need to calculate the cost of a coating.
- 62 sub-programs in all
- Mdoel up to a seven layer structure.
- Calculate roll length
- Calculate number of impressions on a roll
- Calculate laminate material cost
       . By Impression
       . By roll
- Estimate web mterial required for a job
, estimate coating cost, cold seal cost
- Conert from metric to us units
- conert market size in area to pounds of a web, whether a film or laminate
- Compare web strength for di materials
- Estimate corona treating energy density
- Estimate laminate WVTR from its components.
and more........................
 

If you are professional, working primarily in with
Metric units, and need to calculate roll lengths, estimate the various
parameters of a multi-layer structure, translate a potential target
market size into the film/web volume potential, consider web tensions
or treatment levels, or a product development person who needs to
estimate the potential cost of a coating - then you will need our
software.

QR Code Generating Software for the Packaging Industry:

A QR Code (it stands for "Quick Response") is a mobile phone readable barcode that's been big in Japan forever, broke into Europe a while back, and is now getting traction in USA.

In its simplest sense think "print based hypertext link" - simply encode a URL into the QR Code and then point a mobile phone (or other camera-enabled mobile) at it. If the device has had QR Code Software installed on it, it will fire up its browser and go straight to that URL.

But it doesn't stop there - a QR Code can also contain a phone number, an SMS message, V-Card data or just plain alphanumeric text, and the scanning device will respond by opening up the correct application to handle the encoded data appropriately courtesy of the FNC1 Application Identifiers that are embedded in the encoded data.

The technical specifications for a QR Code are set down in the ISO-18004 standard so they are the same all over the world, and the only significant variations from one QR code to another (apart from the data it contains) is the number of modules required to store the data. A Version 1 QR Code is a 21x21 array of data elements with the array increasing in size by 4 modules for each increase in version number. The largest standard QR Code is a Version 40 symbol that 177x177 modules in size and can hold up 4296 characters of alphanumeric data (theoretically) compared to 25 characters for a Version 1 QR Code.

While there is still a lot of scope for improvement, the resolution of average present-day camera-enabled portable devices is such that the size of the data modules (dots) on a QR Code of Version 5 or above (37x37) presents a real risk of incorrect decoding of the symbol by the device. When creating a QR Code intended for use with mobile phones and PDA's it's best to stick to Version 4 or lower, and a QR Code symbol of at least 2cm (0.85inches) across.

To make things a bit more robust, the QR Code also contains its own error correction data, internal orientation calibration and self-alignment markers. In this way it doesn't matter whether the QR code is upside down or wrapped around a curved surface, the message will still get through.
