Abstract
The disclosure relates to a marking device for marking containers, for example, in the food industry, with devices for receiving measured feature data of a container and/or one or more container configurations, where the measured feature data is determined by a measuring device, and where the measured feature data relates to at least one criterion of several criteria which the container and/or the one or more container configurations do not satisfy. Furthermore, the marking device includes devices for creating marking data based on the measured feature data, where the marking data can be created such that it is indicated which of the several criteria the container and/or the one or more container configurations do not satisfy, and devices for physically applying at least one marking on the container, where the at least one marking is based on the marking data. The disclosure further relates to a container handling device with the marking device and a method for marking containers using the marking device.
