The following article is dedicated to show you the best engraving and marking techniques for metal containers, as well as the most recommended marking machines according to the needs of your company or sector. If you are interested, we invite you to read on.
The use of metal containers is very common nowadays, as they are a relatively easy to shape material, with a light weight and high resistance. Precisely for these reasons, they are used to store foodstuffs, materials that require sealing, etc.
Since these are all highly regulated and controlled sectors, it is necessary to carry out different types of marking and engraving of codes and identification to ensure correct product traceability.
At Sivart we offer industrial marking machines for the marking of cans and metal containers.

The choice of method for marking metal containers must take into account factors such as cost, process and the type of surface to be marked.
The characteristics of the different marking technologies are shown below:
Laser engraving is a very thorough technique and is used in processes that require silence or low noise during the marking process.
Its main virtue is that the cycle times are very short. When purchasing and installing laser equipment, and in compliance with European CE safety regulations, it is necessary to take into account the need to study and, if necessary, apply some safety measures.
From Sivart we offer the most innovative technology, such as the laser marking machine Laser marking head 104 Easy or the L-BOX and XL-BOX laser markers..
Micro-percussion marking is characterized by micro-dot pressure marking on a flat surface. Its main attribute is its low cost and its effectiveness in processes that may require painting once the marking is done.
At Sivart we offer a wide variety of micro-percussion marking products, such as portable, column and integrable marking machines.
The engraving by scratching is very similar to the one mentioned in the previous point, they differ because the latter makes the marking with a continuous line where the punch presses and scratches the material thanks to the use and pressure of compressed air.
At Sivart we have scratch marking machines such as the I63S – I124S.
All the markers available in Sivart have installation and set-up service as well as training for your company and employees. Another added value is our fast and efficient after-sales service.

Metal containers are widely used for beverages and non-perishable foods.
The main codes and identifiers that we find are the expiration date, the lot number, the bar code and other data that meet the requirements of these applications such as the genre/product they contain, the material with which the package is made or that transports the same.
It should also be taken into account that, depending on the purpose of the containers, they must comply with the different control regulations, be they food or safety regulations, etc., so the established codes or signs must also be marked.
