We understand the challenges of the wood industry, ranging from complex regulations to technical hurdles, and offer coding and marking solutions tailored to these challenges.

Our technologies support internal processes such as production planning, machine networking, timber flow management and storage, as well as internal and external logistics. Traceability is also very important. This also includes customer information on dimensions and part numbers, branding with company logos and ensuring compliance with the requirements of the various sales markets, such as CE marking and IPPC. Reliable marking of wood products extends not only to the wood itself, but also to the outer packaging.

At LIGNA, we will be presenting our innovations and high-performance portfolio for individual ink, laser and labeling solutions.

Wood labeling for sawmills, timber and pallet plants

Wood production, processing and finishing

Companies face several challenges when processing natural raw materials such as wood. In addition to complying with legal requirements, it is important to optimize production processes in terms of efficiency and quality, especially in the area of marking. REA Coding and Marking Solutions consist of a broad product portfolio that is tailored to your requirements and can be integrated into your production process. You will benefit from over 30 years of experience in coding and marking systems for the wood industry. Tasks we frequently perform include applications such as printing large logos on the edge surfaces of stacked material, positioning markings, quality class markings and code printing for serialization and traceability. Depending on the production stage, surface finish and type of marking, our expert sales staff will find the optimal solution for you using inkjet printers, laser systems and labeling technology.

Printing logos and product features on edge surfaces

Wooden panels

The production of wood-based materials, such as OSB or chipboard, involves considerable logistical effort due to their size and design. Therefore, it is all the more important that marking be clearly readable, ideally on the edge of the product. Thanks to REA's marking and coding solutions, batch numbers, dimensions, standardizations, or CE markings can be applied during the production process in a contact-free and high-contrast manner. This enables clear identification of the wood products and ensures a smooth transportation process.

Plywood and sawn timber
Precise marking on rough sawn edges

The marking of rough-sawn wood surfaces and freshly cut edges poses major challenges for conventional technologies, as they do not cope well with the specific properties of these surfaces. Poor adhesion, unclean print images, and dust pollution make this process more difficult.

The COâ‚‚ laser is the perfect solution: it produces a clearly legible, permanent markings even under demanding conditions.

With the COâ‚‚ laser, you can mark precisely and forgery-proof wood:
- The sharpest markings are possible - from company logos and dimensions to quality seals
- CE and IPPC marking - standard-compliant and permanent
- Reliable marking, even in dusty environments

Treated wood and laminate
High resolution marking on a very small area

Wood products, which stand out due to their treated or laminated surfaces, often offer only limited areas that are suitable for applying data and codes for consumer information and traceability. Spring or edge marking offers a very advantageous solution here. With REA marking and coding solutions in the area of small fonts and high resolution systems, even the narrowest material edges can be inconspicuously marked with product information, batch numbers and machine-readable codes.

Solid wood
Fully automated marking of strength classes

In the production of sawn timber and profiles, sorting processes are essential for efficient processing of the raw material and to ensure safety and quality. The necessary marking of products at various stages of the process is an essential part of this process. It begins with the pre-sorting and marking of the logs and the application of cut marks. At the end of the timber production process, the corresponding strength classes and country-specific test marks can be applied contact-free during the process. Coding and Marking Solutions from REA are individually tailored to your needs and work reliably and cleanly even in rough industrial environments.

Tip: Large stacks of wood prepared for loading are ideal as advertising space for your company. With REA JET DOD 2.0 large character technology, you can print large logos that are easily recognizable even from a great distance.

Pallets and packaging wood
IPPC marking

With REA's high resolution marking and coding solutions, you can print your wooden products on the fly with consistently high quality and no downtime. The desired text content and logos are stored in the system and can be selected at any time via the device operating platform and made available to the printer.
