Reusable IBC

Labeling & Traceability

RIBC Products are intelligent, traceable, and fully regulation-ready.

They feature dedicated sensor zones and mounting points for labels, smart tags, and digital IDs enabling full supply chain visibility and ensuring compliance with upcoming EU requirements.

The MT-1000 includes a dedicated label area designed to maintain visibility and durability through repeated industrial use.
This standardized flat surface ensures consistent label placement across all units, allowing easy application of barcodes, QR codes, DataMatrix tags, or RFID identifiers for full traceability within logistics and reuse cycles.

The label area is:

  • Sized according to industry standards for IBC identification and transport documentation

  • Recessed and smooth, protecting labels from mechanical abrasion during handling and stacking

  • Compatible with adhesive, engraved, or embedded label systems

  • UV- and chemical-resistant, preserving readability even after multiple washing and outdoor exposure cycles

This smart design feature guarantees that identification remains permanent, scannable, and compliant with PPWR and EPR traceability requirements, supporting a transparent and circular supply chain.
