insensiv QSE-DPG-5: New quality assurance unit for the German DRS
insensiv introduces the QSE-DPG-5, its latest generation of quality assurance units for ensuring print quality in the German deposit system.
One of the basic requirements for an efficient deposit return scheme is that the return of beverage containers containing a deposit to reverse vending machines should be as smooth as possible. This is why Germany has clear guidelines for the labeling of all integrated packaging in the one-way deposit system organized by the DPG (“Deutsche Pfandsystem GmbH“).
All distributors of packaging subject to a deposit ( so-called “Users of DPG Ink“) are obliged to mark this packaging in accordance with DPG specifications and to print labels accordingly. The marking ensures that packaging is clearly identifiable and consists of the DPG deposit logo and the product-specific barcode.
To ensure the print quality of these marks, the DPG prescribes the use of specific quality assurance equipment. For many years, insensiv has been offering quality assurance units designed and calibrated in accordance with DPG specifications. With the QSE-DPG-5, insensiv is now introducing a new product generation that guarantees compliance with the latest security specification 5.0 and also enables the barcode print quality to be checked. The output of DPG-compliant measurement reports ensures that the guidelines for the special colors and shapes of the DPG marking can be adhered to when printing.
The QSE-DPG-5 is significantly more user-friendly than its predecessor and provides the user with immediate feedback via the integrated display. A quick-change adapter for use with different attachments allows the system to be used flexibly for different types of cans and labels.
To ensure that the high quality standards of production control are maintained in the long term and that reliable measurement results can be delivered on a permanent basis, insensiv also ensures that the system is calibrated annually as prescribed by the DPG. A special transport case is included in the scope of delivery so that the QSE-DPG-5 can be shipped for this purpose.
The new QSE-DPG-5 has been available to all licensed users of DPG ink since summer 2024.
