Over the past few months, we've written several times about the possible elimination of traditional bottle labels. And the issue remains relevant, with new solutions continuing to emerge. This time, the British company DataLase, a global leader in laser printing solutions, has unveiled its proposals.

They presented their new transparent-white coating for bottles, allowing for the placement of text information or QR codes. Images can be applied to bottles using CO2, fiber, or UV lasers, producing high-definition, opaque white images on a clear background. This solution eliminates the need for ink, labels, or other consumables for applying the image and guarantees high-quality, laser-sharp printing at production speeds.

The technology is designed to easily integrate into existing high-speed filling lines with spray units and is suitable for bottles made of PET, PP, and PC. Its application is targeted at beverage, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries. It can be used to apply virtually any information: text, logo, QR code, regulatory data, batch number, dates, etc. Moreover, the technology allows for personalization of virtually every bottle without delays in production.

The new coating is resistant to heat, water, and abrasion, and eliminates the need for traditional paper or film labels on bottles, making them easier to recycle.
