Materials

Every surface prints differently. Start from yours.

• GlassCoding on bottles and jars, where the surface is cold, often wet, and the product is round.
• Carton and outer packagingMarking cases, trays and shipping boxes — large characters, absorbent surface, warehouse conditions.
• Flexible filmCoding on flow-wrap, laminates and pouches, at speeds where the web never stops.
• PET and rigid plasticMarking bottles, trays and containers where the surface is smooth and the pack is often chilled.
• MetalMarking cans, sheet, tube and components — from a printed date to a permanent traceability mark.
• Wood and building materialsMarking timber, panels, concrete products and pipe — porous, rough, and rarely clean.
