In this guide, we explain the key challenges of coding on coated metal and recommend reliable solutions for high-speed industrial production.
Achieving a legible, lasting mark on coated metal surfaces requires more than just a standard printer. Here, we address the four critical hurdles of metal marking:
Many metal containers are finished with coatings, varnishes, or anti-corrosion layers. These high-performance coatings often repel standard inks, leading to smudging or total adhesion failure.
Especially in the beverage and canning industries, production lines operate at extremely high speeds.This requires coding systems that can maintain print clarity and stability without slowing down production.
In metal can beverage plants, high humidity often causes condensation on metal packaging surfaces, making coding and marking more difficult. This harsh environment also increases the demands on printer protection and ink performance to ensure stable, reliable operation.
Global food safety standards demand flawless traceability. We help you meet compliance through high-contrast printing of QR codes, Data Matrix codes, and serialization that survives the entire product lifecycle.
The go-to solution for beverage cans, food tins, and coated lids.
Our coated metal coding solutions can accurately print critical information such as production dates, batch numbers,Bar code(EAN8&13, Code128 A,B,C, Code 39, etc.), QR codes & Data Matrix codes, and traceability data directly onto cans, bottles, and metal lids. Whether it’s a small batch run or a large-scale production, the system ensures consistent clarity and legibility for every mark.
UV fly laser printing systems provide permanent, high-contrast codes on coated metal cans and packaging surfaces.
With marking speeds up to 12,000 mm/s, the system is designed for demanding high-speed production environments. The system can deliver clear, permanent marking at high production speeds while maintaining excellent code quality and consistency.

High-adhesion coding solutions for coated metal buckets used in paint, chemicals, lubricants, and industrial packaging applications.
With years of experience in food, beverage, and industrial packaging applications, we understands that coating formulations vary significantly between manufacturers.
At Naxjet, we evaluate each coated metal application based on the actual production environment, coating material, and durability requirements. Our engineers perform a series of adhesion and resistance tests to ensure the printed codes remain clear and readable throughout manufacturing, transportation, storage, and end use.
Depending on the application, we test for:
For food and beverage packaging, special attention is given to high-speed production lines where fast drying and long-lasting readability are critical. In industrial applications such as coated buckets and metal components, durability under handling and harsh environments becomes the key focus.
Because coating formulations vary from one manufacturer to another, there is no universal ink solution for every coated metal surface. Our team recommends sample testing before final deployment to ensure optimal coding quality, adhesion performance, and production stability.
Our systems are designed for the "real world" of manufacturing. With simple conveyor integration, encoder synchronization, and rugged IP-rated enclosures, our machines thrive in demanding environments and 24/7 production cycles.
