At Wapnö farm in Halmstad, Sweden, sustainability isn’t an add-on; it’s embedded in every aspect of production. From its on-site biogas plant and regional distribution model to its integrated dairy, brewery, and greenhouse operations, Wapnö continually seeks to reduce waste, energy use, and environmental impact. That same philosophy now extends to its product marking system, where the farm has adopted the IQJET continuous inkjet printer from Leibinger to improve efficiency and reduce resource consumption. 

After trying several coding and marking systems that failed to meet expectations, Wapnö selected the IQJET based on its ability to withstand a its harsh environment while aligning with the farm’s long-term sustainability goals. The printer is now used across a variety of packaging formats—milk cartons, yogurt cups, beer cans, and glass bottles—delivering reliable batch coding and best-before date marking essential for product traceability.
