What does beverage marking mean?

Beverage marking includes the coding and labeling of primary products, secondary cases and tertiary pallets for product identification and tracking. By printing batch and lot codes, sell-by and best-by dates, or by applying labels on beverage containers, manufacturers are able to convey critical information about the product.

Accurate product identification is essential in the beverage industry and allows manufacturers, distributors and consumers to easily identify and access important product information. Beverage marking is integral to maintaining precise and efficient product identification throughout the supply chain.

Various beverage products require different product identification information. Alcoholic beverages like wine, beer and spirits have specific labeling mandates to comply with regulations and provide vital details such as alcohol content, origin and ingredients. Similarly, non-alcoholic beverages, including soft drinks, juices and water, require nutritional information, expiration dates and batch numbers.

Inkjet Printing

Inkjet printing is a popular choice for marking on beverage packaging. This technology uses tiny droplets of ink precisely deposited onto the substrate. Inkjet printing offers high-speed operation, excellent print quality and the capability to print variable data, such as barcodes, batch numbers and expiration dates. It's versatility and flexibility make inkjet printing a perfect solution for many beverage manufacturers. Whether it's printing on plastic or glass bottles, shrink wrap or cardboard tray packs, inkjet printing delivers consistent results. 

Laser Marking

Laser marking is another significant technology in the beverage industry. It involves using a laser beam to create permanent marks on packaging material. This method offers high precision, durability, and the ability to mark various substrates including glass, plastic and metal. Laser marking is commonly used for branding, product identification and anti-counterfeiting measures due to the permanence of each mark.
