PET Plastic Bottles

Industrial Coding and Marking Solutions for PET Plastic Bottles Printing

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has long been used as a liquid container in the carbonated soft drink, bottled water, energy and fruit drinks markets due to its inherent properties of strength, flexibility and transparency.

Additionally, PET Plastic Bottles are gaining popularity over materials like HDPE for packaging consumer products such as shampoo.

Videojet’s application expertise in PET marking spans many years, including deep knowledge of trends such as lightweighting.

PET bottles are most commonly marked using Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) and laser printing solutions. Videojet offers a number of unique ink formulations that provide quality ink jet codes on PET, and laser systems for high resolution, permanent marks.
