Abstract
The disclosure concerns a method, an apparatus and a system for producing or equipping paperboard such that information carriers can be implanted between two layers of material, together with a piece of paperboard material produced in this way and a package. In particular, the disclosure concerns the implantation of an information carrier in corrugated paperboard, taking into account cuts that are subsequently to be made in the transverse direction, the distance of the position at which the cross-cuts are made from the position at which the information carriers are applied, and the movement executed by the web of material between the application position and the cross-cutting position.

- 35. A method of producing paperboard or a web of paperboard material, the method comprising joining at least two layers of material together, the joining including positioning and implanting an information carrier between the at least two layers of material and providing at least one outer surface of the paperboard or of the web of paperboard material with a marking that indicates the x- and y-positions of the internally disposed implanted information carrier, the providing of the marking including positioning the marking using data and control variables that have been used for the positioning and the implanting of the information carrier.

41. A method for producing paperboard or a web of paperboard material that comprises a first layer and a second layer, the method comprising:
-
applying an information carrier to a first web; after the information carrier is applied to the first web, uniting the first web with a second web, the first and second webs thereby each forming a respective of the first and second layers of the paperboard or the web of paperboard material, the uniting implanting the information carrier between the first and second layers; and after the information carrier is applied to the first web, applying a marking to an outer surface of the paperboard or of the web of paperboard material, wherein the marking is positioned to indicate the position of the information carrier between the first and second layers of the paperboard or the web of paperboard material. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)

48. A method comprising:
producing corrugated paperboard comprising a cover layer, a second layer, and an RFID tag contained between the cover layer and second layer and thereby implanted within the corrugated paperboard, the producing of the corrugated paperboard comprising applying an RFID tag to one of the cover layer and the second layer of the corrugated paperboard as it moves longitudinally past a first position, and downstream of the first position and after application of the RFID tag, applying a marking to an outer surface of the cover layer, the marking indicating the longitudinal and lateral position of the implanted information carrier between the cover layer and second layer. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54)
