Containers - ID and Hot Stamp

Plastic container identification

Identifying plastic containers makes it easier to locate contents, organize inventory and move products between workstations. Identification can be used to distinguish materials, batches, departments, work areas or process stages.

This category includes hot-stamp identification options and label holders compatible with selected container series. The right option depends on the required level of permanence, the information to be displayed and the container model being used.

Compatibility must be verified before ordering. A label holder or marking option designed for a specific series may not fit another container model or size.

Permanent marking or interchangeable label?

Hot stamping

Hot stamping adds letters, a logo or a number sequence directly to the container. It is suitable for businesses that need consistent identification on their containers.

A logo can help identify the owner of a container quickly. A number sequence can assign a distinct number to each container or group of containers. Marking is available in white or black to provide contrast with the container colour.

Label holders

A label holder is appropriate when the displayed information must be changed regularly. It can hold a label showing the contents, batch number, destination, department or production stage.

The 3" × 5" transparent label holder is intended for SNT and CS containers. The clip-on model is designed for EF Series industrial containers.

Why identify plastic containers?

Clear identification can make it easier to:

• Locate parts, ingredients or supplies.
• Separate products and work areas.
• Organize inventory in warehouses and distribution centres.
• Assign containers to a department or location.
• Track containers visually during handling.
• Reduce storage and routing errors.

Identification options can be used with selected food-grade plastic containers with solid walls and bottoms and selected industrial models. Compatibility must always be confirmed according to the series, material and available marking surface.
