We must keep the batch ID on the can for traceability reasons. Along with the batch ID, we label our name NOMOQ on the cans for the same traceability reason. This is an industry standard among can manufacturers (see the cans from BALL, Ardagh, etc.).
The batch ID is printed in the same place as the previously assigned sample ID. The sample ID is converted into a batch ID before production. As a rule, we print the sample/batch ID next to the GTIN/barcode and with minimal font size.
If the sample ID/batch ID is to be printed in a different position on the can, the customer can indicate this during the sample process. In addition to the position on the can, the customer can also decide whether the sample ID/batch ID should be printed vertically or horizontally.
