Software
Carl Valentin is a German manufacturer of thermal transfer printing equipment, built for production rather than the office. Its range runs from stand-alone label printers to direct print modules that code film inside packaging machines, and complete print & apply systems — which means one manufacturer can cover several points on the same line.
MELARKO has represented Carl Valentin in the region since 2025. We keep spare parts and printheads in stock for the models we install, and our engineers are factory-trained on both the printers and the applicators. Direct print modules in particular need someone who understands the packaging machine as well as the printer.
