APPLICATION
Glass and Glass Bottles
Glass bottles are widely used in the beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and premium food industries due to their elegant appearance and high durability.
However, marking on glass surfaces requires highly precise and robust coding technology, as glass is a smooth, slippery material that does not absorb ink.
Coding printed on glass surfaces typically includes production dates, expiration dates, batch codes, logos, or QR codes, which must remain legible even when exposed to humidity, cold temperatures, or repeated washing.
CHALLENGE
SOLUTION
Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) technology is the primary and most common solution used for printing codes on glass bottles.
This printer uses fast-drying solvent-based ink that adheres strongly to glass surfaces, even in humid or foggy conditions.
Key advantages:
li style="font-weight: 400;">Special glass ink provides high adhesion and Resistance to cold/hot temperatures.
- Capable of printing on curved surfaces at high speed without touching the object.
- Suitable for the production of bottles for mineral water, carbonated drinks, beer, and liquid medicine.
Efficient operational costs and easy maintenance.
For inkless and permanent printing needs, especially in premium industries such as liquor or pharmaceuticals, laser marking is the best choice.
Main advantages:
- No ink required — prints are permanent, hygienic, and waste-free.
- Can engrave codes directly onto glass surfaces with high contrast results.
- Ideal for premium products that require an elegant and durable appearance.
- Free from ink bleeding problems due to bottle washing or condensation.
