ARCO’s document printing, folding and insertion units automate the creation and placement of order paperwork inside each carton. Connected to your WMS or ERP, the system prints documents on demand, folds them to the right size, buffers the stack and inserts at the exact point in the packing flow. Lines keep moving while paperwork stays accurate and traceable.
Here is how it works. An open carton is scanned and matched to the order file. Variable data is generated, then the unit prints the packing slip or invoice, folds it, and places it inside the carton or tote just before closing. A barcode or camera check confirms the insert, and any mismatch is routed to a rework lane. Every step is logged in real time.
The result is lower labor, fewer mistakes and faster cycle times. Return forms and carrier documents are handled with the same reliability. The modules scale with peak volumes and fit into new or existing lines, while KANSI dashboards keep KPIs clear for daily control.

Key features of Document printing, folding & insertion
ARCO’s document printing, folding and insertion units automate every step of document handling to keep your packaging process accurate and efficient. Designed for traceability and uptime, they fit easily into any logistics or production flow.
How Document printing, folding & insertion work in practice
An open carton enters the packing station and is scanned. The unit retrieves the order data from the WMS or ERP, prints the required paperwork, folds it to the correct size and buffers it if needed. Just before closing, the document is placed inside the carton automatically. A barcode or camera check confirms the insert and logs the action for full traceability. Any mismatch diverts the carton to a rework lane. Packing slips, invoices or return forms are handled with the same reliability. The compact module fits next to a case sealer or labeler and scales easily to keep output high during peak volumes.
