This is how the label is cost-effectively applied to the bottle
Flexibility, colour brilliance and freedom in the visual and haptic design of containers are offered by the DecoType direct printing machine from Dekron. With direct printing, new designs can be applied to bottles cost-effectively within a very short time.
By printing the motif directly onto the container body, labels - and therefore waste - can be dispensed with. The process works for glass bottles as well as for containers made from virgin PET and recyclate.
The printed bottles can even be returned to the recycling cycle and recycled with the Krones MetaPure recycling systems can be recycled. And with the MetaPure recycling systems, not only PET bottles can be recycled into food-grade PET, but also polyolefins can be recycled and even upcycled.
