Case Study

Beverage Plastic Bottle Mass Branding & Traceability Coding

A large soft drink manufacturer deployed six NOVA bottle inkjet printers for their PET plastic bottle production line, printing full-color brand logos and variable QR traceability codes in one single pass. Magnetic levitation linear motors stabilized high-speed printing on thin-walled plastic bottles, and integrated UV LED curing eliminated smudging before bottle filling. The digital inkjet system removed expensive pre-printed label inventory, cutting annual packaging overhead by over $89,000 for their global bottling facilities.

Cosmetic Tapered Glass Serum Bottle Luxury Packaging Printing

A mid-sized skincare brand invested in NOVA cylinder bottle inkjet printers to produce custom limited-edition glass serum bottles with intricate photographic artwork. Adjustable angled tooling fixtures securely held tapered bottle necks without scratching fragile glass surfaces, and Ricoh Gen6 printheads delivered 1440DPI ultra-fine detail for micro ingredient text and gradient brand graphics. Zero minimum order limits allowed the brand to launch small seasonal cosmetic bottle collections without prohibitive tooling fees.

Pharma HDPE Medicine Bottle Compliance Serialization Printing

A pharmaceutical packaging supplier integrated NOVA bottle inkjet printers into their regulated HDPE medicine bottle production workflow to print mandatory serial numbers, batch codes and expiration dates. Unified color management maintained consistent black UV ink opacity across all production batches, and camera inspection modules auto-rejected misprinted bottles to meet global pharmaceutical serialization compliance standards with 99.98% print accuracy for regulated medical bottle packaging.
