The control unit is configured to control the module based on the detected marking and/or information stored in the control unit. The disclosure also relates to a method for processing a ready-to-use web of a laminated packaging material, and a laminated packaging material. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for processing a ready-to-use web of a laminated packaging material, the system comprising: a first rotatable roller and a second rotatable roller, wherein said web of laminated packaging material is wound from said first roller to said second roller; a sensor configured to detect a marking on said packaging material, said marking located at a predetermined position on said packaging material; at least one module arranged between said first rotatable roller and said second rotatable roller, said module (108) configured to process said packaging material; and a controller connected to said sensor and said module, wherein said controller is configured to control said module based on at least one of said detected marking and information stored in said controller. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising at least one tension control device configured to provide a pressure in a normal direction to a surface of the web of laminated packaging material and tension the web of laminated packaging material between said first rotatable roller and said second rotatable roller. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, further comprising a third rotatable roller, wherein said web of laminated packaging material is wound from said second roller to said third roller to rewind said web of laminated packaging material. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said information stored in said controller is stored in a database. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system according to claim 1, wherein said at least one module comprises a guiding unit, a cutting device, a splicing unit, a waste station, a printing device, an embossing device, and an adjusting device. ### Claim 6 (canceled) ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The system according to claim 5, further comprising an embossing device, said embossing device including: an anvil roller and an imprint roller arranged adjacent to each other to create a nip therebetween, said imprint roller having a surface area including an imprinting area having protrusions forming an imprinting pattern; a conveyor arrangement configured to forward said web of said laminated packaging material through said nip to imprint a visual or tactile pattern on the laminated packaging material corresponding to said imprinting pattern on the surface area; wherein said surface area of said imprint roller further includes a non-imprinting area designed to disengage said nip when said non-imprinting area faces said laminated packaging material. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system according to claim 7, further comprising an adjustment device configured to adjust the position of said laminated packaging material relative to the imprint roller when said non-imprinting area of said surface area faces an outermost layer of said laminated packaging material, wherein the adjustment is based on said marking on said packaging material. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system according to claim 8, wherein adjusting the position of the web relative the imprint roller is performed by adjusting the rotational position of the imprint roller. ### Claim 10 A method for processing a ready-to-use web of a laminated packaging material, comprising the steps of: guiding said web of laminated packaging material between a first rotatable roller and a second rotatable roller; detecting a marking on said packaging material, said marking located at a predetermined position on said packaging material; and processing said laminated packaging material based on at least one of said detected marking and information stored in a controller. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method according to claim 10, wherein said step of processing said packaging material comprises the following steps: aligning said web of laminated packaging material; cutting said web of laminated packaging material; splicing said web of laminated packaging material; printing said web of laminated packaging material; embossing said web of laminated packaging material; and aligning said web of laminated packaging material. ### Claim 12 (canceled) ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method according to claim 10, wherein said step of processing said laminated packaging material comprises: forwarding said web of said laminated packaging material through a nip provided between an anvil roller and an imprint roller, wherein the anvil roller and the imprint roller are arranged adjacent to each other, said imprint roller having a surface area including an imprinting area and a non-imprinting area, said imprinting area comprising protrusions forming an imprinting pattern; imprinting the imprinting pattern into an outermost layer of said laminated packaging material through engagement with said protrusions forming an imprinting pattern as said web of laminated packaging material passes through the nip to form a visual or tactile pattern on the laminated packaging material corresponding to said imprinting pattern of said imprinting area; and adjusting a position of said web of laminated packaging material relative to the imprint roller when said non-imprinting area of said surface area faces said laminated packaging material. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method according to claim 13, wherein the step of adjusting the position of said web of laminated packaging material relative to the imprint roller is performed in register with said marking on said web of packaging material. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The method according to claim 13, wherein adjusting the position of the web of laminated packaging material relative to the imprint roller is performed by adjusting a rotational position of the imprint roller. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) A ready-to-use laminated packaging material, processed by the method according to claim 13.
