A method for monitoring a product cycle comprising the production of plastic containers, wherein a plastic preform is provided and a plastic container with a marking is produced by a blow moulding process, which marking is configured for uniquely identifying the plastic container,
- wherein
- the marking is produced during a production process of a plastic preform or of the plastic container.
A mould, in particular a blow mould, for producing a plastic container, wherein this mould has a plurality of blow mould parts which are configured to be assembled to form a cavity within which the plastic containers can be moulded, wherein these blow mould parts have an inner wall against which the plastic material of the plastic container can be pressed, wherein in at least one region of this inner wall a marking production device is arranged which is configured for applying a marking to the plastic container,
- wherein
- this marking production device can be changed so that different markings can be arranged on different plastic containers.
