Inkjet coding requirement

Coding cosmetic and personal care packaging

Cosmetic packaging often combines small print areas, curved containers, glossy labels and premium surfaces where code quality matters.

Inkjet coding can print batch numbers, lot references, expiry dates, product IDs and QR codes on suitable primary and secondary packaging.

We help match the print method to bottles, jars, tubes, labels, cartons and sleeves so the code is legible without spoiling the pack appearance.
