Labeling solutions for cosmetics and personal care

Mobile direct printing for bottles, jars and packaging - high-quality, brand-compliant and without labels.

In the cosmetics industry, all packaging is part of the brand image. With REINER® direct printing, you can mark bottles, cans and cartons elegantly - without labels, without carrier material. Our mobile inkjet printing systems apply best-before dates, batches, barcodes or logos directly to glass, plastic, cardboard, metal and foil and are ideal for labeling small and special series. This keeps design, sustainability and traceability in perfect harmony.

Hurdles in the cosmetics industry

Why standard solutions are often not enough

LOT number and expiration date printed directly on transparent plastic bottle

In the cosmetics industry, labeling is not only a legal obligation, but also part of the brand image. Products must be labeled precisely, permanently and aesthetically in high quality - often on small, sensitive packaging.

Typical requirements

  • Legally compliant labeling in accordance with regulatory requirements

  • Printing of variable data such as batch and minimum shelf life

  • High-quality, clean and brand-compliant look

  • Good legibility on small packaging surfaces

  • Permanent adhesion to glass, plastic and coated surfaces

Typical challenges

  • Very small or curved printing surfaces

  • Smooth, shiny or sensitive materials

  • Wide range of product and series variants

  • Moisture and abrasion in later use

  • High error costs due to incorrect labeling
