Automated high-speed carton print and verify with tamper evident seal solution—up to 400 per minute in one compact platform

Unite serialization printing, real-time print & seal verification, and precise tamper-evident sealing into a single automated system engineered for pharmaceutical industry, maximum throughput, and minimal operator intervention.

Key Highlights

Throughput up to 400 cartons/min (shorter products) / 250 cartons/min (max 200 mm length)
True 3-in-1 integration: Print + Verify + Tamper-Evident Seal
Real-time serialization tracking with Smart Line Control, detect sensor & countercheck mechanism
Dual-side printing & inspection using up to 2 print heads + SMC450 smart cameras per side
Clean, consistent mechanical roller sealing – no compressed-air required
Centralized control via single HMI (UniSeries 16:9 or PLM 4:3 screen)

Why Choose ST34

Pharmaceutical lines demand zero-compromise compliance, deterministic performance, and audit-ready traceability at high speed. Multi-station setups create handoffs, synchronization risks, inconsistent seal placement, and frequent stops.

The ST34 eliminates the following common issues by delivering serialization, verification, and tamper-evident sealing in one cohesive, compact station.
Line stops from disconnected print/verify/seal stations
Seal placement variability common in pneumatic systems
Audit findings due to fragmented verification steps
High-speed requirements in limited floor space
