Printing and marking solutions for the cosmetic industry
Coding on bottles, tubes, and packaging for cosmetic products
The cosmetics sector requires high-quality, aesthetically refined marking on premium packaging, including glass bottles, plastic tubes, coated cardboard cartons, blister packs, and single-dose samples. In addition to aesthetics, EU Regulation 1223/2009 requires the inclusion of an expiration date or PAO (Period After Opening), batch number, and, for specific products, a CPNP notification number. Thermal transfer overprinting (TTO), CO₂ laser, and UV inkjet systems are the most widely used technologies to ensure quality and durability across all types of cosmetic substrates.

In-line visual inspection verifies readability and correct placement of the marking on every single unit. Dicover inspection systems.
