VERSATILE LABELING SOLUTIONS FOR PLASTIC PRODUCTS
Type plates, barcode labels, stickers for production, logistics and transportation: plastic parts are affixed with a wide variety of labels during the manufacturing process. We offer suitable and efficient labeling solutions for the respective type of plastic and the intended use of the product.
Permanently durable or easy to remove
PRECISE LABELING OF PLASTIC ITEMS
To ensure that labels adhere to plastic parts as desired, two things should be taken into account when selecting a labeling solution: the type of plastic and the intended use of the product. These determine the choice of label material, label adhesive and labeling type. Labels adhere better or worse depending on the surface tension of the plastic to be labeled, so the adhesive has to be matched to the desired adhesion. This depends on the intended use. While type plates on vehicle components or electronic devices have to be permanent, barcode labels or production labels on household items should be easy to remove without leaving any residue. It is also important to consider whether the labels have to be resistant to water or chemicals, UV or weathering.
What needs to be considered for labeling solutions?
- Coordination with the respective type of plastic
- Adapting the durability of the labels to the intended use
- Weather and chemical resistance of the applied labels
- Reliable work under harsh environmental conditions
- Compliance with all marking regulations
- Low-maintenance and economical technology
- Individually customizable software
Industrial labeling solutions are used throughout the plastics processing industry. Labels are applied to many different components and products. Examples include packaging materials such as foils, bags and rigid plastic packaging, construction materials such as pipes and profiles as well as all types of molded parts. As integrated systems, our labeling systems are optimally adapted to the respective labeling requirements and thus support the quality standards in the plastics industry.
Application examples for labeling plastic products
- Labelers integrated into production lines for direct labeling (in-line labeling)
- Labels with the EU plant passport
- Labeling of food packaging (ingredients, best before date, batch number)
- Multi-sided, flexible robot labeling
- Dispensing systems for multiple labeling
See the versatile labeling options for the plastics processing industry. Our reliable labeling systems contribute to the quality assurance and traceability of plastic products.
The plant passport confirms that the goods comply with the phytosanitary regulations and that their traceability is ensured in the event of a pest infestation. The passport has to contain the botanical name of the plant species, the registration number of the operator, the traceability code, the country of origin, the flag of the European Union and the imprint "Pflanzenpassport/Plant Passport" in a clearly readable and permanently unalterable manner.
