Because glass surfaces are non-porous and smooth, printing on them yields more precise results compared to other surfaces. Especially in glass bottle production lines, coding on high-speed flowing surfaces needs to dry quickly and remain indelible. Therefore, choosing the right technology for glass coding directly affects print quality and production continuity.
Where is CAM Coding Used?
- Glass bottle production lines
- Beverage and food packaging
- Cosmetic and pharmaceutical bottles
- Chemical product containers
- Glass jar production
- Filling and packaging lines
- Printing of production date and lot code
- Brand and product information applications
Points to Consider in CAM Coding
- Because glass surfaces are non-porous, ink has difficulty adhering to them
- Ink that dries quickly should be used
- Moisture forming on the bottle surface can affect the printing
- Adaptations to high-speed production lines are required
- The print must be resistant to smudging
- Surface cleanliness directly affects print quality
Application Examples
Which system should be preferred in which situations?
Inkjet Coding Systems (CIJ)
When should it be preferred??
- If the glass bottle production line is operating at high speed
- If the date, lot and serial number are to be printed
- If a fast-drying solution is needed that doesn't interrupt production
- If continuous and uninterrupted coding is to be done
Recommended Devices:
Smartech CI8550 Coding Device
HI100 Inkjet Coding Device
H970P Pigment Inkjet Coding Device
CO2 Laser Marking Systems
When should it be preferred??
- If permanent and indelible marking is desired on the glass surface
- If the process is to be done without using ink
- If a logo and more aesthetic branding are needed
- If long-lasting and wear-resistant marking is desired
Recommended Devices:
HC300 CO2 Laser Marking Device
HC300 YTB CO2 Laser Marking Device
