A packaging assembly including a sealing station for sealing a product with at least one film web, wherein a printer is provided upstream of the sealing station and configured to print information, in particular a product weight and an associated retail price, onto the film web or onto a label, which may already be present on the film web, wherein, upstream of the sealing station, a forward weighing device is provided and configured to detect a weight value of a product and forward it to a control unit. The packaging assembly is characterized in that the control unit controls the printer for printing-on the information depending on the detected weight value, and that, downstream of the sealing station, at least a first inspection device is provided to read the information on the imprint. A method for making the packaging assembly is also included.
A packaging assembly comprising a sealing station for packaging a product with at least one film web, wherein a printer is disposed upstream of the sealing station and configured to print one or more item of information as an imprint onto the film web or onto a label, wherein said one or more item of information comprises at least one of a product weight and an associated retail price, wherein upstream of the sealing station, at least a forward weighing device is provided and configured to detect a weight value and forward the weight value to a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to control the printer for printing the information depending on the detected weight value onto the film web or onto the label, and that downstream of the sealing station, at least a first inspection device is provided and configured for reading the information on the imprint;
A method of operating a packaging assembly comprising the steps of:
