Abstract
A packaging assembly including a sealing station for sealing a product with at least one film web, wherein a printer is provided upstream of the sealing station and configured to print information, in particular a product weight and an associated retail price, onto the film web or onto a label, which may already be present on the film web, wherein, upstream of the sealing station, a forward weighing device is provided and configured to detect a weight value of a product and forward it to a control unit. The packaging assembly is characterized in that the control unit controls the printer for printing-on the information depending on the detected weight value, and that, downstream of the sealing station, at least a first inspection device is provided to read the information on the imprint. A method for making the packaging assembly is also included.
