Plastic bottles are practically everywhere – on grocery store shelves, in pharmacies, in refrigerators, in pantries.

Almost all plastic bottles are manufactured from polyethylene terephthalate, also known as PET, a clear, strong and lightweight plastic belonging to the polyester family.

PET is the world's main packaging choice for many foods and beverages because it is hygienic, strong, lightweight, shatterproof, and retains freshness. PET is an inert material that is resistant to micro-organisms, and does not react with food products, which is why it is widely preferred for packaging foods, beverages and pharmaceuticals.

Printing and coding on PET bottles can be challenging because of the color, thinness and rigidity of the plastic.

PrintJet USA provides high-performing, high-quality solutions for printing and coding on PET bottles and containers.

Providing the PET bottle printers you need:

For printing on PET and PET bottles, PrintJet USA offers continuous inkjet printers, thermal inkjet printers and laser printers.

Continuous Inkjet Printers PrintJet USA supplies Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers that provide rapid, accurate, non-contact printing and coding on plastic bottles, PET bottles, and PET containers, even if crafted in irregular shapes. CIJ printers print at high speeds without blurring any of the text. These printers break the ink up into drops using a piezoelectric oscillator, after which a group of electrodes gives each drop a charge. This allows the drops to make their way into an electrostatic field where deflector plates modify their direction and place them in the right spot on the product.
Thermal Inkjet Printers Thermal inkjet printers (TIJ printers) from PrintJet USA are perfect for printing barcodes, characters, numeric serial numbers, logos, date/time, expiration dates, and shift code on plastic bottles, PET bottle and PET containers. Thermal inkjet printers are designed for use on the most challenging materials. Simple to install and to operate, thermal inkjet printers from PrintJet USA for PET bottles are also ideal for low volume applications.
Laser Coders Today’s PET bottles can be 50% thinner and lighter than previously constructed. Laser coders from PrintJet USA can produce crisp, clear, precise, and permanent printing on all types of PET container and material types. Laser printers are especially effective at delivering 2D codes commonly required for expiration dates, SKU numbers, and various other labels. In addition to 2D barcodes, laser coders can accurately and quickly code a variety of markings including, any type of barcode, graphics, and alphanumeric codes (i.e. batch codes, lot numbers, and traceability codes). With no ink, and therefore no dry time is involved in the laser coding process preventing the risk of smudging.
