PixelAutomate
Solution

Reducing matrix waste in labels

the matrix is a significant waste stream; label placement is not optimised across designs; material is not separated by composition.

← Back to solutions

Sector

self-adhesive label manufacturing and printing; exact C17/C18 code verified.

INDICATIVE NACE CODE

Process

material roll → printing → die-cutting → matrix removal → winding and surrender for recovery.

Problem

the matrix is a significant waste stream; label placement is not optimised across designs; material is not separated by composition.

What the solution includes

matrix roll scales; printing and die-cutting data; placement algorithm; per-order report; separation of compatible streams.

What changes

less matrix waste per printed label and a better-separated material stream.

How the result is measured

What we measure
kg matrix waste / 1,000 m² printed material

Business effect

lower substrate cost and a more valuable separated waste stream.

Component parts

Physical assets

ДМА — printing/die-cutting equipment and scales

Software and integration

ДНА — algorithm and material report.

Indicative investment

The concrete value is set per client after technical design and current quotations.

Who does what

PixelAutomate

EvroPixel builds the algorithm and the per-design report.

Required partners

printing equipment supplier and taker of separated materials.

What to keep in mind

siliconised and multilayer materials; real market for separated fraction; die-tool limits.

Link to a funding programme

There is no open funding programme linked to this solution. When a new procedure opens, we check its conditions against your company and project.

Scope and clarifications

The intended result is verified with data from your process rather than assumed in advance. For a funded project, your SME is the beneficiary. PixelAutomate is the brand under which we work. The contracting company is identified in the quotation, contract, and invoice.
