Abstract
A method of manufacturing a mark on a packaging material, the method comprising the following steps: Providing the packaging material, which comprises at least one pre-printed element at a pre-defined position; Removing the pre-printed element in pre-defined sections in a marking station, so that the removed sections reflect a negative of the mark to be manufactured; Detecting a reference geometry of the pre-printed element and a reference geometry of the manufactured negative of the mark; Determining a geometric relationship of the detected reference geometries; Evaluating, if the determined geometric relationship matches a pre-defined geometric relationship; and if it matches, manufacturing subsequent marks under removal of the pre-printed element in the same pre-defined sections; or if it does not match, manufacturing subsequent marks under adjustment of the pre-definition of the sections, wherein the pre-printed element is removed. The present disclosure further refers to a respective marking station and a packaging material manufacturing system, as well as, a packaging material and a packaging container.
