The AVT Inspection System is a hardware/software solution that helps Josh Packaging ensure flawless quality and execution throughout its printing and converting stages.

  • Printing Presses are equipped with two synchronized advanced cameras that project the live print on multiple monitors for press operators and managers to see
  • Cameras detect and alert the operators of undesired patterns and defects in the live print that would be impossible for the naked eye to detect that quickly or at all.
  • The software aggregates statistics of the defects that later compile into insightful reports.
  • The software scans the printed sample and compares it with the customer approved PDF for any minute discrepancies like numbers in the nutritional ingredient panel.
  • The system is equipped with in-line relative spectros (color measuring instruments) that alert operators of live color deviation during the run.

For multi-structure packaging solutions, Josh Packaging uses Uteco Rainbow solventless laminator.

  • Tension controls on both unwind and rewind side of the machine ensuring optimal quality and smooth finished rolls.
  • Adhesive mixer automatically balances and blends the different adhesives to the correct ratios before coating the film.
  • Added Corona treater to further diminish the chance of delamination or defects in the final product.
  • Solvent-less laminator is ideal for Pet-food packaging applications because pets can smell the solvent in the lamination.
  • Custom infrared reader ensures adhesive coat weights are stable and within tolerance for ideal bond strength and optimal appearance”.
