Method for producing packages and a system thereof

A system for producing packages holding liquid food products from a web of packaging material, wherein the system comprises:

• a reel holder arranged to receive a reel holding the web of packaging material, wherein the web of packaging material comprises a number of blanks placed after one another, wherein each blank corresponds to one package,
• a tag reader configured to capture reel data from a tag attached to the reel,
• a data communication module configured to transfer the reel data to a printing information database, and receive printing information data (PID) related to the reel data from the printing information database,
• a printing module arranged to print decors on each of the blanks of the web of packaging material based on information provided via the PID such that a décor provided web is formed,
• wherein the data communication module is further configured to transfer the reel data to a packaging machine information database and receive packaging machine information data (PMID) related to the reel data from the packaging machine information database, and
• a packaging machine arranged to form the packages from the décor provided web based on information provided via the PMID,
• wherein the web of packaging material comprises pre-printed sub-sections and on-site printed sub-sections, and
• wherein the PID comprises décor data for the on-site printed sub-sections of the web of packaging material.

A method for producing packages holding liquid food products from a web of packaging material, wherein the web comprises a number of blanks placed after one another, wherein each blank corresponds to one package, the method comprising:

• receiving one or more reels holding the web of packaging material,
• capturing reel data from a tag attached to the one or more reels,
• transferring the reel data to a printing information database,
• receiving printing information data (PID) related to the reel data from the printing information database,
• printing décors on each of the blanks of the web of packaging material based on information provided via the PID such that a décor provided web is formed,
• transferring the reel data to a packaging machine information database,
• receiving packaging machine information data (PMID) related to the reel data from the packaging machine information database, and
• forming the packages from the décor provided web in a packaging machine based on information provided via the PMID,
• wherein the PID comprises at least one of settings information for a pre-treatment device, one or several printer bars, or one or several curing devices in a printing module, and
• wherein the PMID comprises at least one of settings information for a sterilization device, a sealing device, or a folding device in the packaging machine.
