Inkjet Printing Solutions for Modern Beverage Production

Ensure brand protection and traceability on every bottle, can, and package. Our laser and inkjet coding systems meet the beverage industry’s demands for high-speed production, robust traceability, and anti-counterfeit protection.

Applications Across Beverage Packaging

We offer many solutions ideal for printing onto plastic / glass bottles, bottle caps, cartons, aluminum cans, and lables.

1. Bottles & Caps - Plastic and glass bottles, coding on wet surfaces.
2. Cans & Cartons - Aluminum cans and folding cartons for beverages.
3. Labels - Secondary coding and batch traceability on labels.

Solving Key Challenges in Beverage Coding

Quality beverage coding to protect your brand 

1. Permanent laser coding of complex logos, circular text and 2D codes directly onto bottles to prevent counterfeiting 
2. ‘Invisible’ UV-readable codes offer discreet coding for internal traceability as well as anti-counterfeiting 
3. White, yellow, grey, or light blue pigmented inks provide legible codes even on dark glass or PET 

Reliable operation in challenging environments 

1. Protection against water infiltration during production or CiP processes - NAXJET S800 Series ink jet printers and N laser coders both have stainless steel enclosures with IP55 rating as standard.   
2. With the NAXJET S800 Series enjoy long service intervals of up to two years and minimal cleaning which means more uptime on busy 24/7 lines 

Maximize productivity 

1. Code up to 70,000 bottles per hour on high-speed bottling lines 
2. Print both primary and secondary codes with the NAXJET S800 Series – ideal for bottles/cans as well as outer cases 
3. Remotely monitor/manage your printers and predict end of batch runs with NAXJET PrinterNet.

FAQs

How to print on glass bottles?

Continuous inkjet printers can print durable markings on the smooth surfaces of beverage glass bottles and meet the rapid marking needs of beverage production lines.

Alternatively, fiber laser marking machines can be selected. Optical-to-optical laser marking on glass bottles achieves permanent markings without causing any chemical impact on the bottle.

What machines are used to print on glass bottles?

As mentioned above, CIJ and laser printers are common choices for marking on glass beverage bottles. The choice depends on the specific needs of the manufacturing company, such as permanent marking, precision, resolution, and production line speed. If you require professional guidance, please contact us.

Can you print on bottle caps?

Absolutely, we not only provide inkjet printing solutions for bottle caps, but also for bottle bodies and curved or irregular bottle bottoms to meet all of our customers' needs.
