Direct answer

What should a buyer decide about Inkjet vs Laser Date Coding for Bottled Water Lines?

Choose coding technology from the code content, substrate, line speed, code location, permanence, contrast, consumables, extraction, maintenance and verification needs. Test the real bottle, cap, label or film before purchase.

Code content and data source
Define date, time, lot, line, shift, machine-readable data or other required fields and identify whether values are manual, recipe-driven or supplied by another system.
Substrate and code location
Test the actual PET, cap, label, carton or film surface, including color, curvature, moisture, condensation, coatings and the viewing direction after packing.
Technology comparison
Compare ink adhesion and consumables with laser contrast, material interaction, extraction and guarding. Do not assume one technology works on every package surface.
Line integration
Confirm trigger sensor, encoder, mounting, conveyor stability, product spacing, speed changes, reject or stop logic and access for cleaning and service.
