Dairy packaging

Short shelf life and cold chain mean dairy packaging faults are discovered late and cost a full batch. The inspection has to happen at the converter.

What goes wrong in this sector

Dairy runs a mix of formats: blow-moulded bottles, IML cups and tubs, and the closures that go with them. The defects that matter are the ones that break the seal or the print: rim damage, seam faults, label position and wrinkle, and contamination on the sealing surface.

Because a dairy converter often runs bottles and IML containers in the same plant, standardising on one inspection platform and one operator interface reduces the training load and keeps the acceptance standards consistent across formats.

Defects that cost you money here

  • Rim and sealing surface defects that cause leakers after filling
  • IML label position, wrinkle and bubble faults that scrap the container
  • Colour drift between cavities on white and pastel packaging
  • Format changeovers that take too long to re-qualify

IML Visual Inspection Machines

In-mould labelling puts the print inside the wall, so a label fault is a scrapped container, not a re-labelling job. These systems catch it at the moulder.

Representative configurations

A starting point, not a fixed recommendation. The final configuration comes from your parts and defect samples.
