Automatic inkjet printer to print labels for canned beverages

In addition to being directly marked on the bottle body, the canned beverage logo can also be printed on the product label. After the canned beverage bottle enters the conveyor belt, its rotation cannot be controlled, so the coding position cannot be controlled. Therefore, it is necessary to mark the label with CIJ or laser in advance, and then apply the label on the product. This process can be applied to labeling units and tray application units. In some working conditions, printing can be achieved directly on the bottle table, provided that the correct bottle orientation can be provided. When coding, the print head must be completely perpendicular to the label to avoid code distortion. Or use CIJ and laser machine combined with automatic paging machine to realize online identification after automatic paging of labels. The advantage is that the marking effect is clear and the marking speed is fast. The label materials used in the canned beverage industry are diverse, including textured and embossed paper, moisture-proof paper, metal paper and foil, white film materials, and transparent film materials. In the selection of marking equipment, CIJ does not have high requirements for materials, and you can choose according to the stability of the model and marking speed. The laser marking machine needs to be tested before the selection to ensure that it achieves a high-quality marking effect. At present, there are certain requirements for the labeling content of canned beverages in China. The labeling content includes the name of the product, the name and address of the manufacturer and distributor, the date of packaging, the shelf life, batch number, drinking method, and product type. There is no restriction if the beverage contains 10% alcohol or more. Regarding the choice of marking equipment, if you choose a laser marking machine, the laser will show the color of the paper, which means that a color area needs to be reserved for label design. Since the paper is usually white, we recommend that you darken this range so that it has sufficient contrast. If it is a CIJ inkjet printer, it also needs a uniform color area, but because the ink has different colors, it is more flexible to apply.
