The research is meant to design an automatic machine for stamping the date and dash code on the master carton for the packaging of the blister-pack. The quantity of existing manual process in producing the master carton does not meet with the demands, therefore, it needs a machine that improve the production process with the following characteristic: fast, easy to use and maintain, and also affordable in order to support the cost saving program. The design uses pneumatic system with PLC controller to automate the process.
