What problem does this solve?

Cosmetics and personal care brands need to print batch codes, expiration dates, and anti-counterfeiting marks on diverse packaging materials — glass bottles, plastic tubes, aluminum lipstick cases, ceramic jars, and paperboard cartons — often on curved or recessed surfaces. The print must be aesthetically clean, resistant to moisture and oils, and support brand protection through invisible UV ink or laser-engraved codes.

Solution Description

The K20 Online Inkjet Printer provides 600 DPI HD printing with 7 ink colors including white ink for dark glass bottles and invisible UV ink for brand protection. The industrial-grade construction handles cosmetic production line speeds up to 120 m/min while maintaining the print quality standards required by premium beauty brands.

For permanent, tamper-proof anti-counterfeiting codes, the G-20 Fiber Laser Marker engraves batch numbers, QR codes, and brand logos directly onto glass, metal, and plastic cosmetic packaging at 20–100W laser power. Laser marking eliminates ink consumption, requires zero consumables, and produces codes that cannot be removed or altered.

Application Scenario

A premium skincare brand fills glass serum bottles on a packaging line at 80 bottles per minute. The K20 Online Inkjet Printer prints the batch number, expiration date, and manufacturing date in 600 DPI black ink on the bottle’s curved surface. Simultaneously, the G-20 Fiber Laser Marker engraves an invisible micro-QR code on the bottle’s base as an anti-counterfeiting measure. Consumers can scan the code with the brand’s app to verify authenticity, while the inkjet-printed batch code enables targeted recall if a quality issue is identified.
