Claims22
A method for marking a container comprising at least a transparent wall comprising the following steps:
- a) applying at least one spot of ink directly onto an outer surface of said transparent wall,
- b) heating said transparent wall onto which the at least one spot of ink has been applied at a temperature and a time period sufficient to cure the ink to fix the ink onto the wall, then,
- c) engraving a data matrix in the spot of ink of said transparent wall, wherein the data matrix includes at least one of data or information.
A method for marking a container comprising at least a transparent wall comprising the following steps:
