What to check

Build the specification around the liquid and pack.

Ink filling machinery should be chosen around viscosity, pigment behaviour, cleaning, colour changeover, fill accuracy and pack type. Lines can be built for small bottles, pots, larger pails or specialist containers.

Before a machine is shortlisted, the product data, fill volume, container shape, cap or closure, batch size and target output should be reviewed together. This helps avoid choosing equipment that fills the liquid but struggles with the finished pack.

Important quotation points

  • Confirm viscosity, pigment settling and colour changeover requirements.
  • Review container type, neck opening and fill accuracy.
  • Check whether the product drips, strings or foams.
  • Plan cleaning and changeover around product range.
