The RNJet H1+ date coding machine is a type of inkjet printer commonly used for date and lot coding on various surfaces, including cans. The best spot to print on cans typically depends on factors such as the design of the can, the printing technology being used, and any regulatory requirements. However, there are a few common locations where printing on cans is often done:
- Top Lid: Many cans have a flat top lid where printing can be easily applied. This area provides a large, flat surface for clear and visible printing.
- Side Seam: Printing on the side seam of the can is another common location. This area allows for continuous printing around the circumference of the can, providing ample space for information such as production dates, lot numbers, and barcodes.
- Bottom: Some cans may have printing applied to the bottom. This area is often used for essential information like expiration dates or batch codes.
- Body: Depending on the can’s design and the printing technology being used, printing can also be applied directly to the body of the can. This location may offer high visibility and accessibility.
- Shoulder: Some cans have a shoulder area between the body and the top lid, which can be used for printing additional information or branding.
