What is printed on bottles?

The requirements include lot and batch numbers, expiration dates, linear barcodes, and QR codes. It is vital that these codes are clear and easily readable to safeguard consumers against counterfeiting and product obsolescence.

Why Bottle Coding Matters?

Bottles remain a popular packaging choice thanks to their protection, convenience, portability, and recyclability—making them ideal for a wide range of products. 

Coding on Glass Bottles

Glass bottles are non-reactive and impermeable, offering excellent defense against light, air, and moisture making them ideal for preserving product quality. They’re also easily recyclable, contributing to sustainable packaging practices.

Coding on Plastic Bottles

Plastic bottles are lightweight and durable, with various materials used for plastic packaging, including PET, HDPE, PVC, and LDPE. These materials have significantly increased in popularity as alternatives to glass and aluminum.

How to Select Inks for Bottle Surfaces in Case Coding?

When coding on botles, it’s crucial to select inks that are compatible with the different materials. Light-solvent and UV-LED inks can print on most bottle surfaces, setting quickly on the substrate. Within 2 to 5 seconds, the ink dries, allowing the bottles to be packed into larger cases for shipping.
