Bottle, can or case? The coding application changes.
There isn't one universal approach to coding every part of a beverage production line.
A smooth glass bottle presents a different challenge to an aluminium can.
A PET bottle behaves differently again.
Then there's the outer case or multipack, where you may need larger characters, barcodes or logistics information.
The important question isn't simply:
“Which printer should we buy?”
It's:
“What are we trying to print, where are we printing it, and what does that surface look like at production speed?”
Once you understand those requirements, the technology choice becomes much clearer.
That's where proper application knowledge matters.
