【Case Study Title】
Long-Term Identification Management for Stainless Steel Beer Kegs in Outdoor Storage and Washing Processes
【Application / Installation】
Applied to the top surface of stainless steel beer kegs
【Product】
CERALABEL SL
【Challenges】
Beer kegs are often stored outdoors and handled under rough conditions, making attached identification labels prone to abrasion and peeling. In addition, to maintain hygiene and prevent flavor contamination, kegs undergo rigorous washing processes involving alkaline and acidic cleaning, sterilization, and drying. Under these harsh conditions and repeated cycles, conventional labels tend to degrade, resulting in barcode readability issues or complete label loss.
【Solution / Benefits】
By adopting CERALABEL SL, which has passed weather resistance testing, durable barcode identification is maintained even under long-term outdoor exposure and chemical cleaning. This significantly reduces barcode reading errors and contributes to lower maintenance costs for reusable beer kegs, while ensuring reliable traceability and supporting efficient management of reusable assets.

Key Benefits
Stable barcode readability under outdoor exposure and repeated washing cycles
Resistance to abrasion, peeling, and chemical cleaning
Reduced maintenance costs for reusable kegs
Reliable traceability throughout the product lifecycle
