Giving fine products an even finer finish
Reliefs, coatings, screen printing, labels and sleeves can transform your glass packaging into a premium product. We are happy to give you customised and comprehensive advice on all the design options. Working closely with our specialists guarantees top quality results, whatever choice you make.
Reliefs – presenting a profile
Glass reliefs give packaging a distinguished and distinctive look and feel. They help to make your product stand out and boost its recognition factor.

Labels
Paper – the classic
The classic paper label offers plenty of design opportunities. The wide variety of colours and shapes and integrated tamper-proof features are just a few of the many advantages of this way of enhancing glass packaging and giving a product a very distinctive appearance. They ensure that this traditional finishing method remains a constant presence on the market.

A breath of nothing – the "no-label look"
Transparent labels offer exceptional variety and brightness of colour as well as flexibility. The modern, clear-cut appearance has a screen print-like effect.

Coatings – for added lustre
A coating on all or part of the glass packaging will make your product stand out as a premium product. Labels or screen printing applied as well will add the finishing touch to this exclusive look.
| Requirement | We recommend rinsing instead of washing. No-contact filling must be possible to avoid scratching the coating. If outer packaging is used (boxes), it is advisable to use cardboard dividers. |
| Batch size | can be used for small batch sizes, but is more cost-effective for medium and larger production runs |
| Suitable for | one-way bottles |
| Segments | spirits, sparkling wine, trendy drinks, beer |
Screen printing – art on a bottle
Screen printing reproduces colours in all their brilliance, and even very detailed motifs are accurately printed. You can choose between six brilliant colours, genuine gold and genuine silver. We offer screen printing as an all-in-one service, so all you need to look after is the closure.
| Requirement | no restrictions on filling or further packaging |
| Batch size | Suitable for small and larger batch sizes, therefore also ideal for one-off events and special editions |
| Suitable for | multi-trip and one-way bottles |
| Segments | mineral water, beer, non-alcoholic drinks, sparkling wine, spirits, wine |
Sleeves – like a second skin
Sleeves – tubes made of plastic film which are pulled over bottles and shrink-fitted – create an impressive end-to-end look, for strong design impact.
| Requirement | for maximum precision, we recommend a test run (the film tubes may become twisted) |
| Batch sizes | ideal for larger batch sizes |
| Suitable for | one-way bottles |
| Segments | suitable for all segments |
