Our barcode and RFID solutions for ToGo packaging

Reusable is the goal

Labelling solutions for the ToGo sector

Optimal performance, maximum savings potential

Speed, process reliability and durability - ToGo packaging has to meet many demands to deliver practical solutions. Whether at a music festival, sports venue, a corporate event or in continuous use in service delivery – efficient practices place the highest demands on packaging. From drinking cups to food boxes. Logically, the labelling for individual containers must also withstand the demands of it‘s practical use. And it is even better when smart labelling solutions like our barcode and RFID labels open up possibilities that make packaging and containers even better. How can you do it? It's simple. With our ino:reuse solutions for all common ToGo applications.

Labelling solutions for the ToGo sector

You can count on us.

Whether stacked, dirty or jumbled - bulk detection is still no problem with our optimized RFID inlays.

 

By serializing the labels, we put a stop to deposit fraud.

 

Thanks to real-time data, you always know exactly which packaging is needed where.

 

As an inmouldable solution, our labels become inseparable from the packaging and can easily withstand extreme cleaning processes - up to 500 times.

 

Thanks to their special design, our labels can be integrated into the production process; the end product leaves the production mould with labels already in place, saving time and cost.

 

Reusable to offer more climate and nature protection

The future belongs to reusable packaging. Reusable solutions are already used as a matter of course in many places in everyday (working) life. In light of our finite resources and a growing awareness of ecological issues, this will only increase in the coming years. We applaud this thinking. As label experts, we are concerned with the question of how intelligent and modern labelling solutions can make reusable packaging even better, smarter and more environmentally friendly. That's why we are forever developing our plastics, adhesives and inlays. Not only to meet current requirements, but to always be one step ahead. As an inmould variant, our ino:reuse solution is so robust that it can easily withstand up to 500 washing and cleaning cycles. And we have also thought ahead when it comes to the problem of the many different cycles that still exist today. Our ino:reuse solutions are already equipped to make it possible for all major retail partners to return and collect their packaging waste. We are ready for reuse.

The right labelling for ToGo packaging

Advantages

  • serial coding
  • secure programming, printing & number management
  • universally applicable
  • cost-efficient marking
  • microwaveable

Disadvantages

  • data acquisition only with visual contact
  • no optimal bulk recording
  • can be copied at any time: conditionally deposit-proof

Advantages

  • serial coding & unique chip ID
  • capture without direct visual contact
  • bulk detection optimizes processes
  • not copyable therefore deposit-proof
  • readability even with high contamination

Disadvantages

  • RFID infrastructure is required
  • limited suitability for use in microwave ovens

Advantages

  • post production application possible
  • printing of labels in controlled production at Inotec
  • printing of labels "on demand" with TTR printer on site
  • laminated labels reliably protected against wear

Disadvantages

  • double number risk with "on demand" label production on site
  • “on demand" labels without protective laminate wear out quickly in the usage processes

Advantages

  • cost savings due to insertion of the label already in the injection molding process, no second pass for label application necessary
  • tamper-proof due to fusion of label with the plastic product
  • permanent, secure and seamless labelling
  • 100 % hygienic safety without adhesive edges
  • no risk of double numbering

Disadvantages

  • inmould requirements must be taken into account during production
  • no "on demand" label production possible

Labels for reusable containers

Frequently asked questions

Yes, the RFID inlays and antennas of the ino:reuse solutions have been developed to work optimally in current and future vending machines and ensure a smooth return process.

 

Yes, thanks to RFID solutions and the ability to connect them to various software and ERP systems, it is always possible to obtain a real-time overview of the current status of your own packaging pool.

 

Yes. When developing our labels, we have been making sure for many years that all materials are constantly developed further so that they meet the high standards of food legislation. Our label materials and adhesives are ISEGA-certified and therefore suitable for contact with food. Our labelling solutions always meet the highest standards.

 

Yes, our inmould variants can be integrated into the containers using the injection moulding process so that the labels are directly connected to the packaging. This ensures extremely good hygiene and resistance of the labelling. The special feature of our ino:reuse inmould solution is that we have paid particular attention to easy and uncomplicated integration into the production process. This shortens production enormously and saves a lot of resources in logistics and process costs.

 

Yes, thanks to the optimized RFID performance, contamination or "chaotic" conditions hardly play a role in the return process. Whether individually or in bulk: our ino:reuse solutions always ensure automatic and optimal detection.
