Bottle Printing Machine
With extensive experience in developing coding and marking equipment, Linx understand that printing on bottles presents several unique challenges, from difficult-to-adhere surfaces and wet or dusty environments to small circumference marking areas and post-marking sterilisation processes. Linx industrial bottle printing machines have been specifically designed to meet these challenges.
Linx bottle printing machines are used in a wide range of industries such as cosmetics, FMCG household products to pharmaceutical, chemical including batch codes, expiration dates, and barcodes. Our expertise in product and packaging marking & identification can help you to reduce costs and improve production rates.
Plastic Bottle Printing Machine (PET)
The two primary bottle printing technologies for coding on PET are Continuous Inkjet Printers (CIJ) and CO2 Lasers. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) commonly used for beverages like carbonated soft drinks and bottled water, offers flexibility and transparency. Our industrial coding solutions ensure high-quality, permanent marks with no need for consumables. With both CIJ and laser systems, our automated bottle marking systems provide efficient, durable solutions for high-speed production lines.

Continuous Inkjet Printers for Plastic Bottle Printing
Linx CIJ printers provide accurate, non-contact printing properties for any bottle shape. The diverse selection of inks includes water and oil-penetrating, fast-dry and plastic-adherent – designed for a range of CIJ printers.

Advantages:
- Durable, high-quality printing for any bottle shape
- Range of inks for specialist marking, e.g. water and oil-based, fast-dry and plastic-adherent
- Designed to integrate with your production line systems
Laser Marking Machines for Plastic Bottle Printing
CO2 Laser can deliver a unique frosted effect on a bottle to produce a visible, permanent code. However, choosing the right laser requires matching the laser wavelength to the PET’s thickness.

Advantages:
- Permanent laser marking solution
- Wavelength options available to match the PET thickness
- Unique frosted effect on a bottle to produce a visible, permanent code
- Models available to engrave even on thin plastic surfaces to preserve the structural integrity of PET bottles
Glass Bottle Printing Machine
Glass bottles are a popular package option for a number of reasons, including the identification of a premium product and that of a strong protective barrier to a variety of food and beverage products. Linx’s laser coders are suitable for etching information such as serial numbers, internal tracking numbers and traceability information on clear or coloured glass. Codes etched on glass are permanent, visible and easy to read, which is especially important in the food and beverage industry.
Continuous Inkjet Printers for Glass Bottle Printing
Inkjet printers are one of the most adaptable and durable options for beverage manufacturers using glass bottles.

Advantages:
- Most adaptable and durable option for beverage manufacturers using glass bottles
- Effective and durable coding even in harsh environments
- High adhesion, retort and even washable inks for printing onto glass surfaces
- Enables recycling of the glass after use
Laser Marking Machines for Glass Bottle Printing
Laser coder will improve the contrast and readability of your codes by providing crisp, permanent, and precise printing on glass surfaces, even at high line speeds.

Advantages:
- Permanent laser marking suitable for luxury goods and anti-counterfeiting product identification
- Precise printing on glass surfaces, even at high-line speeds
- The widest selection of marking heads, lenses and tube options to meet individual materials, line speeds and code requirements
Bottle Cap Printing Machine
Many industries require coding of date/time and batch or lot numbers onto the bottle cap, rather than onto the bottle or label which often presents challenges of small circumference and hard-to-code materials.
Our bottle printers are also capable of printing onto metal or plastic caps with small character printing that is legible and consistent.

Production Line Bottle Printers
For high-volume production, consistency and reliability in marking are crucial to avoid costly rework. Our bottle label printing machines are designed to integrate seamlessly into production lines, handling various line speeds. With automated functions for date, time, and batch coding, these printers reduce manual intervention. Our models offer static marking capabilities and specialized solutions such as UV visible inks and permanent laser marking, ideal for luxury branding or anti-counterfeit measures.
