Quality assurance units for deposit return schemes
Beverage bottles and cans are usually marked with special security features as part of deposit return schemes. For all label printers and manufacturers of cans, insensiv offers the QSE-DPG-5, a quality assurance unit for checking the printing quality of these security markings, such as the DPG deposit logo.
High printing quality for a functional deposit return scheme
Packaging containing a deposit is verified by analyzing the security features that are printed on it when it is returned to the reverse vending machine. To ensure that returned containers can be clearly identified by the RVM, the quality of these markings must comply with specified standards.
As the leading manufacturer of recognition units for reverse vending machines, insensiv offers quality assurance units for checking the printing quality of security markings on deposit beverage containers.
As the latest generation, the QSE-DPG-5 offers the possibility to check the DPG deposit logo according to the latest specification 5.0 and also to check the printing quality of the barcode on labels and beverage cans.
Requirements for participation in the German DRS
In Germany, the one-way deposit return scheme organized by the DPG (“Deutsche Pfandsystem GmbH”) has clear specifications regarding the marking of all integrated packaging. As part of their participation in the German DRS, beverage manufacturers and importers are obliged to mark their disposable beverage packaging in accordance with DPG specifications and to print their labels accordingly.
This labelling ensures that packaging is clearly identifiable and includes the DPG deposit logo and an article number (GTIN) created exclusively for the German market. The printing quality of these two markings must be checked by the distributors of the packaging (the so-called “Users of DPG Ink“).
For this purpose, insensiv offers quality assurance units designed and calibrated according to DPG specifications. These optical measuring devices ensure that the regulations for the special ink and shapes of the DPG marking can be met during printing.

For all beverage manufacturers and importers, the production of high-quality beverages is the main priority. To ensure that all beverage packaging containing a deposit can be launched in compliance with the regulations, we offer support for the inspection of packaging and it´s labelling.
