Inkjet Coder to Print on Bottle Cap

Inkjet coding is an efficient and precise way of printing information onto bottle caps. Whether it be expiry date, batch number, or QR codes. With the ability to continuous printing on fast-moving production lines, inkjet coders became crucial. Opting for solvent- or water-based inks depends entirely on the material and the desired print quality. The use of inkjet coders guarantees reliable and high-speed printing, ensuring that the production process runs smoothly and efficiently. As such, inkjet coding has become essential in the packaging industry.

Laser Marking Machine for Etching

Laser etching on bottle caps plays a vital role in the world of product labeling. The application of this technology makes it possible to accurately print or engrave expiry dates or LOT codes right onto the bottle cap itself. Unlike traditional printing methods, the laser etching process is non-contact and does not involve any ink. Indeed, the caps can last well beyond the life of the product. Bottle cap printing or etching is a reliable and cost-effective solution, especially for industries requiring strict adherence to regulatory guidelines. It ensures the protection of consumers by allowing manufacturers to keep track of their products lifespans and avoid potential hazards.
