Bottle manufacturer gains anti-counterfeiting evidence

The use of special UV-readable ink helps ensure the authenticity and traceability of a range of bottles produced by rigid plastics packaging manufacturer RPC Containers Llantrisant.

RPC Llantrisant manufactures bottles in eight sizes, from 25-mL to 200 mL. The company uses clear UV-readable ink 1121 from Linx Printing Technologies to code both the bottles and their caps inline using Linx 4900 continuous ink-jet printers. The code includes a batch number, date and time, and the line on which the bottle was produced.

The coding acts as a covert security feature which, in the event of any problem or quality issue, enables the complete pack to be traced back through the entire filling, supply, and manufacturing chain.
