Printing on Bottles
 

Whether you are printing on glass or plastic bottles, Matthews helps you meet the tough demands of bottle packaging processes for compliant codes every time.

Printing on Glass Bottles

The toughest challenge when printing on glass? Ensuring high quality codes in wet environments.

You need a bottle printing machine that will code onto wet bottles without sacrificing high line speeds or compromising the durability and legibility of the code.

Matthews offers glass marking solutions that provide reliable operation and consistent results in challenging environments.

Protect your brand

Stop copy cats in their tracks with permanent glass marking onto your bottles. Laser marking codes and complex logos directly onto your bottles make it harder to counterfeit your brand, enable better traceability and faster recalls.

You are dealing with wet, damp or cold production lines, the effects of condensation, disturbance by over-sleeves and secondary packaging, and high-speed lines.
