Method for reproducing inscriptions on containers directly on the packaging line,
and the relative containers |
(57) The invention relates to a method for reproducing inscriptions on containers of any
form or type or on labels applied to them, directly on the packaging line. The desired
inscription is thermally reproduced, directly on the packaging line, by laser or heated
heads on a limited region of the containers which has been previously covered with
a layer of thermosensitive recording material or ink, without danger of contaminating
or damaging the containers, without requiring bulky equipment, and at a high reproduction
rate.
