Aluminum cans

Aluminum cans are widely used in the beverage and food industries and require labelling that is clear, durable and suitable for high line speeds. Batch numbers, best-before dates and barcodes are the most common labelling requirements – and they must always be legible all the way to the consumer, regardless of whether the can is refrigerated, exposed to condensation or transported over long distances.

Inkjet printing

Industrial inkjet marking is the most flexible and cost-effective method for variable information such as date codes and batch numbers.

It can handle high speeds and can write directly on curved or uneven surfaces. With special ink, the marking can withstand moisture, condensation and rapid temperature changes.

Our CIJ printers are particularly well suited for high production flows, with an impressive print speed of up to 9,10 m/s, making them ideal for modern beverage and food lines where every second counts.

Labelling

Labels are primarily used when larger amounts of information need to be displayed, such as barcodes, QR codes or product information. With the right label material and adhesive, even aluminum cans with condensation can be reliably labeled.

Our labelling machines offer several variants of wrap-around labelling:

  • Half wrap-around – covers a smaller part of the can, perfect for batch number, barcode or logo.
  • 3/4 wrap-around – provides space for more information or graphic elements without covering the entire can.
  • Full wrap-around – the label wraps around the entire can.

Laser marking

Laser marking is a contactless method that provides a permanent and durable marking directly on the surface of the can. The marking cannot be erased, worn away or affected by condensation, cold or transport, making it particularly suitable for products that will be stored for a long time or exported to markets with high traceability requirements.

The advantages of laser marking on aluminum cans:

  • Maintenance-free operation – no ink or solvent needed.
  • High precision – sharp batch numbers, best-before dates and codes even in small font sizes.
  • More environmentally friendly alternative – without consumables such as ink and solvents, both waste and chemical use are reduced.
  • Stable production – the technology is very reliable and can handle high line speeds without affecting the quality of the marking.

Read more about Aluminum Cans

Aluminum cans are widely used in the beverage and food industries and require labelling that is clear, durable and suitable for high line speeds. Batch numbers, best-before dates and barcodes are the most common labelling requirements – and they must always be legible all the way to the consumer, regardless of whether the can is refrigerated, exposed to condensation or transported over long distances.

For customers who need to mark batch numbers or best-before dates at high speeds, ink marking is often the most cost-effective solution. If the requirements for traceability, durability and permanence are higher – for example for export or long storage – laser marking is a strong alternative. Labelling is recommended when larger amounts of information are needed.

Regardless of the technology used, the key is to adapt the solution to the production environment, speed and type of information to be labeled. At Logimark, we help you choose the right one – so that the labelling on your cans is always clear, durable and integrated into your production flow.

Questions & Answers (FAQ)

It depends on your needs. For batch numbers and best-before dates at high speeds, industrial inkjet (CIJ) marking is often the most cost-effective. For permanent marking that cannot be worn away, laser is recommended. If larger amounts of information such as barcodes or QR codes are needed, labelling is the best choice.
Yes, with the right type of ink. We offer special inks developed for damp or cold surfaces where condensation can otherwise make the marking difficult to read or cause poor adhesion.
Yes, laser marking is permanent because it is engraved directly into the surface of the can. This means that the text or code cannot be erased or rubbed off, making it particularly suitable for export or long-term storage.
Labels are mainly used when the can needs to carry more information than just the batch number or date. These can be barcodes, QR codes, logos or multiple language versions of product information.
For most manufacturers, ink marking is the most cost-effective option, as it can handle high line speeds and is flexible for different types of information. Laser is a longer-term investment because it does not require consumables.
Yes, our systems are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing lines, even at high speeds. We adapt the solution to the can type, production speed and environmental requirements.
By choosing the right technology for the right task and calibrating the system for the surface, speed and environment. We also offer verification systems to check that the marking is correct and readable directly in the line.
