Fast Continuous Inkjet Marking for Batch Codes, Dates and Traceability
Plastic packaging is used across many industries, including paint, chemicals, food, beverages, cosmetics and industrial products. These products often require clear marking such as batch numbers, expiry dates, production codes, Data Matrix codes and traceability information.
For UAE and GCC manufacturers, plastic coding can be challenging because products may come in different colors, shapes and sizes. The marking system must provide high-contrast results, quick drying ink and stable performance on fast production lines.
Application Overview
REA JET SC 2.0 continuous inkjet technology is suitable for direct marking on plastic products such as:
- Plastic paint buckets
- Plastic bottle caps
- Industrial containers
- Chemical packaging
- Food and beverage packaging
- FMCG plastic products
The system can print important production data, including:
- Batch number
- Manufacturing date
- Expiry date
- MHD / best-before data
- Data Matrix code
- Product tracking information
For paint buckets, Data Matrix codes can also be verified by camera after printing to confirm that the correct code has been applied before the product leaves the production line.
Recommended Solution
The recommended solution for this application is:
- REA JET SC 2.0 Continuous Inkjet Printer
- Suitable REA JET ink for plastic surfaces
- Camera verification when Data Matrix checking is required
- Production line integration for automatic print job changes
REA JET SC 2.0 is designed for industrial environments where products move quickly and marking must remain clear, readable and consistent.
Key Advantages
REA JET SC 2.0 offers important benefits for plastic packaging lines:
- Ready to print in approximately 30 seconds after start-up
- High-contrast print quality on plastic surfaces
- 48-pixel vertical resolution for clear marking
- Suitable for batch numbers, dates and Data Matrix codes
- Quick-drying ink for fast production
- Compact design for easy line integration
- Camera triggering and verification support
- WebGui access for checking print status on mobile devices
- Flexible print content changeover
- Suitable for Industry 4.0 production environments
Why This Matters for UAE and GCC Manufacturers
Plastic packaging producers in the UAE and GCC need coding systems that support speed, flexibility and traceability.
Whether marking paint buckets, caps, containers or plastic packaging, clear coding helps manufacturers reduce product mix-ups, improve quality control and support supply chain traceability.
A good marking system also helps ensure that products without batch codes or required information do not continue to distribution.
