Linx launches returnable bottle ink to enable reuse of glass bottles
2018-11-27

From: Packaging News


Linx Printing Technologies has launched its new returnable Linx Black bottling ink 1068 to enable the reuse of glass bottles used in the drinks industry.



The demand for a solution that enables the widespread reuse of glass drinks bottles is underlined by Linx’s recent consumer research.


The survey found that 89% of those questioned were concerned about the impact of soft drink packaging on the environment – and that 91% would welcome a scheme to enable the reuse of glass drinks bottles.


Once the Linx Black bottling ink 1068 has been used for printing batch and date codes, the bottles are returned after use.


The ink is then removed in the bottle-washing process, enabling new codes to be printed onto them ahead of reuse.


The quality of Linx Black bottling ink 1068 is shown by its ability to print clearly onto glass in cold-fill bottling and in humid environments.


The ink has also been designed to cope with the challenges of providing clear, legible codes for bottled drinks – for example, by resisting removal when subjected to pasteurisation, immersed in ice water, stored in a warehouse for long periods, or refrigerated.


This reduces the likelihood of drinks companies facing product recalls.


John Tierney, Marketing Director at Linx, said: “Consumers are looking for solutions that minimise the impact of drinks packaging on the environment. The opportunity exists for brands to introduce effective solutions for the reuse of bottles – and by ensuring the latest coding inks can be removed as part of the process, we are helping to enable the creation of these schemes.”
