Our cure log template is purpose-built for tracking UV bottle curing results in real production settings across South Africa. It fits the workflow for teams using CureCheck Lab coupons on glass, plastic or coated metal. Whether you run a print bay in Gauteng, a craft beverage line near Durban, or own a smaller contract filling room in Bloemfontein, this template keeps your records clear. We offer both CSV for easy spreadsheet entry and PDF for quick print-and-pen updates. These formats suit local teams dealing with variable power, batch shifts, or the odd missed reading. The guide works alongside sample day checklists and your existing notes.
This template is made for South African operators, supervisors, and QA roles in bottling, skincare, and promotional print. If you’re checking deco cure during bottle runs with different surface types or ink sets, it fits well. Sign rooms, contract decorators, and promo suppliers with floor-level cure checks will find it handy. It’s less suited to teams who only ship in printed bottles or outsource all decoration, there the record-keeping sits with your supplier. If your system already logs UV cure electronically, double entry is sometimes a risk.
You’ll fill in the log at every coupon check point, usually when starting a new shift, batch, or ink colour. The operator notes date, line, coupon batch code, substrate, ink, and cure lamp settings. For many Gauteng teams, a clipboard copy is kept by the printer. If the line runs through a load-shedding slot, you’ll want to mark any power cuts and re-checks. The CSV version lets you import data into your QA sheets or email it to owners, while the PDF is for quick checks. Pair with your GlassGuard care card for extra detail in customer-facing batches.
Suppose a Cape Town operator prints 250 clear glass bottles for a small gin brand. On batch start, they fill in the coupon batch, bottle type, ink colour, UV lamp setting, and ambient temperature (to flag any coastal humidity risk). Coupon is exposed, checked for cure, and result logged beside the batch. Midway, the power flickers, so the operator marks a lamp reset, notes the time, and confirms the next coupon after restart. At shift end, supervisor checks all rows, then scans and emails a PDF to the office.
To help us prep your custom cure log pack, have a few details on hand. Please include batch sizes, decoration types, substrates you use (such as glass, PET, or aluminium), and whether you want CSV, PDF or both. Mention if you run full manual, semi-auto, or automated lines, and any special site quirks, like frequent load-shedding or high dust. Our catalogue path brief can help you set up system links. For the fastest response, send a message through our contact form.
Sometimes South African teams miss cure point entries when shifts or operators swap out. Print a spare log for each line and keep yesterday’s sheet handy. Mark any unreadable coupon or batch code to avoid gaps. Don’t forget to log any deviations, like lamp resets after municipal power dips. If you’re relying on digital systems, double-check that uploaded cure logs match the floor sheets, its easy to drop a column.
