In the food and beverage industry, the packaging is not only the outer container of the product, but also an indication of reliability, traceability and legal harmony. PET bottles are one of the most widely used packaging types in this sector. Coding applications on this transparent, light and economic material are critical for both legal regulations and consumer safety.
Information such as production date, expiration date, lot number and serial codes should be applied clearly and permanently with technology towards the pet bottle surface. However, factors such as the structure of the pet material, the speed of the production line, the humidity and the ink drying time; These are the technical details that need to be considered in this process. As Electrojet Technology, in this article, the most accurate methods for pet bottle coding deals with technically and offer the industry -specific solutions.

Why is the right coding technology on pet bottle?
Coding applications on pet bottles; It forms the basis of processes such as product tracking, quality control, warehouse management and recall. In accordance with food safety laws, it is obligatory to include information in each product packaging open, readable or not deleted. However, this information should be written in a way that consumers can easily read and can be monitored at every stage of the distribution chain.
A wrongly selected marking method; It may cause the pressure to be deleted, unreadable or damage to the bottle during the production process. This directly risks brand reputation and legal compliance.
Inkjet coding in pet bottles: Meeting Point of Flexibility and Speed
Inkjet (ink spray) coding systems are one of the most preferred methods in pet bottle production. The CIJ (Continual Inkjet) systems developed by Electrojet provide clear and uninterrupted pressure even in high -speed filling lines. In CIJ systems, the ink is sprayed at high frequency to form a text without contacting the surface.
With this technology, information can be written on the lower part of the bottles, the neck or the cover, the party number, the QR code can be written on the lower part of the bottles. The ink dries fast, but it has a high capacity to hold onto the pet surfaces with transparent and slippery structure. Moreover, solvent -based ink options provide durability even in humid environments.
Another advantage of Inkjet systems is that it allows variable data writing. It is possible to press a different code on each bottle. This feature provides a great advantage, especially in processes such as product safety, traceability and campaign tracking.
Laser marking: not suitable on every surface
Although laser marking systems give excellent results on surfaces such as metal, glass or hard plastic, the area of use in pet bottles is limited. Since the pet material can be easily deformed with heat, the high -power laser beam can disrupt the structural integrity of the bottle. In addition, laser prints are usually low contrast and become difficult to read on transparent surfaces.
For this reason, laser systems are preferred only under certain conditions - on the label or opaque bottle surface - under certain conditions. The filling line temperature, bottle thickness and marking area directly affect the applicability of laser technology.
As Electrojet, it develops low -power, wavelength optimized laser systems in such special cases; However, we generally find inkjet technology safer and more efficient for pet surfaces.
Technical factors to be considered in the coding process
The durability and readability of the pressure on the pet bottle surface is not only affected by the technology used, but also the conditions of the production environment. Moisture on the bottle, pre -filling temperature changes, ink drying time and shape of the bottle directly determine the quality of the pressure.
Therefore, in addition to correct coding technology; Devices that are fully synchronized with the production line, with automatic cleaning system, can be adjusted with ink density and spray frequency. Electrojet Inkjet systems allows you to digitally manage all these parameters and offer full integration to your production line.
Zero error with Electrojet Technology, maximum confidence
Coding in pet bottles is the key to fulfilling both operational and legal responsibilities. Electrojet Technology, with special inkjet systems developed for food and beverage manufacturers in this field; It keeps up with your production speed, exceeds readability standards and keeps your investment cost at a minimum.
It makes data -based production possible with its structure that integrates into automation systems and guarantees the traceability of each printing. It performs all this fully in compliance with the hygiene and quality requirements of the food sector.
Transparent material, net coding
Coding in pet bottles requires more sensitivity and technical expertise than visible. A system that does not risk food safety, communicates with the consumer and works uninterruptedly in production lines is the basic need of the sector.
A marking process supported by the right technology does not only fulfill a legal obligation; It also makes your brand's professionalism visible. Electrojet makes this process smart for you.
