Coding drink bottles and liquid products

Beverage bottle coding has to consider curved surfaces, moisture, filling conditions, line speed, label position and handling after coding.

CIJ is commonly assessed for fast bottle lines. TIJ may suit labels, sleeves or cartons where the print face is flat and high-resolution print is required.

We help identify a coding point that gives operators access while keeping the code visible and readable.

Bottles and labels

Code the bottle, label, sleeve, carton or case.

Moisture checks

Surface condition and drying time are important on liquid product lines.

Date and batch

Apply expiry, best-before, lot and production references.
