Coding on containers, bottles, and plastic components

Plastics are the most versatile substrate in industrial coding. Bottles, jars, trays, caps, technical components, and flexible packaging all require specific marking solutions. The variability of polymers—including HDPE, PET, PP, PS, ABS, and PC—along with their surface finishes, makes case-by-case evaluation essential. CIJ systems with inks formulated for non-porous plastics, CO₂ and fiber laser marking, and thermal transfer printing systems cover most application needs. Plastic marking is widely used across industries, from food and beverage to pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and automotive. Discover solutions for the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.

How to choose the right marking technology for each type of plastic.

Technology selection depends on several key parameters: polymer type, line speed, required content (text and codes only or also graphics), and durability requirements. TIJ and CIJ inkjet printers ensure maximum speed on continuous production lines. Before any investment, testing on real production samples is essential to guarantee optimal results.
