Printing on Metal and Aluminum Cans
Videojet solutions for printing on metal and aluminum lids, cans, bottles and other containers
Various Videojet solutions are engineered to code and mark on food and beverage cans, as well as on lids, bottles and other metal or aluminum containers.
Ultra-high-speed inkjet printing on aluminum — including with UV ink options — can be achieved with Videojet continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers. When products require a retort process, specialized color-changing inks can serve as a visual quality control indicator that the process as been successfully completed. The comprehensive range of Videojet high-speed, thermochromic, and UV inks can be used for printing of codes on the bottom, top, and side of cans.
In addition, laser printing on aluminum can be achieved with high powered Videojet fiber laser marking systems. These solutions provide unique, permanent marks while keeping pace with food and beverage packaging lines.
