Marking glass products and packaging

Glass labeling and marking

Do you want to label glass and mark it with best-before dates, variable batch numbers and barcodes? The biggest challenge when labeling glass is the smooth surface and the non-absorbent material. Which technology is best suited to your application depends not only on the glass surface but also on the production conditions and the purpose of the labeling. We would be happy to advise you in a personal consultation.

We help you choose the right technology

Glass is processed in a wide variety of industries and is used as primary packaging in the form of bottles, containers and ampoules for drinks, food and medicines. Glass panes or glass components in the automotive or electrical industries also need to be labeled. Our marking systems reliably label and code all types of glass surfaces. Even non-contact labeling for sensitive glass surfaces can be implemented with our technologies. Our inkjet printers, which apply variable texts extremely quickly, also achieve high-quality results. With our labeling systems, you can apply your labels to bottles and glass containers of various shapes.

Labelled glass bottles

Labeling glass containers all round

Modular labeling systems automatically apply your labels to cylindrical, conical or square glass containers, for example with modules for wrap-around labeling of glass bottles.

Quick changeover solutions

Automatic labeling of different charges of bottles with different filling quantities is possible on our labeling systems. The labels are wrapped around the products cleanly, without bubbles or creases.
