The following information must be clearly and permanently affixed to each production batch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>best before date<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Batch number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Production time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>internal production code<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The labeling is on the lid as well as on the side of the can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous solution was based on labels or pre-printed packaging units. This led to several disadvantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Additional label logistics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Material consumption due to backing paper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited flexibility for short-term production changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inconsistent appearance for small series<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Labels did not always adhere optimally to painted or slightly curved surfaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The company was looking for a flexible solution for smaller production quantities and special batches - without a fixed printing station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The company opted for the <strong>jetStamp\u00ae 990<\/strong> for mobile direct labeling. The device is used to apply BBD and batch information directly to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Painted metal lid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cylindrical can bodies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secondary packaging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>printed. High-contrast, easy-to-read and smudge-proof markings are created using suitable ink - without additional labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implementation in the process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The jetStamp\u00ae 990 is used flexibly in the packaging sector:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For small series<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For seasonal products<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For post-productions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For additional internal labeling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to battery operation, no fixed installation is required. The optional CAP990 precision clip enables precise positioning on curved surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the introduction of direct printing, the company has benefited from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2714 Elimination of additional labels<br>\u2714 Greater flexibility with changing batches<br>\u2714 Reduced use of materials<br>\u2714 Clear and permanent labeling<br>\u2714 More efficient processes for special productions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mobile solution offers an economical alternative to labeling, especially for smaller series and varying production data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct marking on cans enables clean, flexible and material-reduced marking of best-before dates and batch dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the jetStamp\u00ae 990, even round and coated surfaces can be marked on the move and close to the process - without additional infrastructure.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":9902,"template":"","categories":[105,268],"class_list":["post-15046","erfolgsgeschichten","type-erfolgsgeschichten","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-case-studies","category-jetstamp-990"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marking.reiner.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/erfolgsgeschichten\/15046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marking.reiner.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/erfolgsgeschichten"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marking.reiner.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/erfolgsgeschichten"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marking.reiner.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marking.reiner.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marking.reiner.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
