INNOVATIVE LABELING SOLUTIONS FOR GLASS
Labels on glass convey important information about the product: ingredients, ingredients and best-before dates for drinks and food in bottles and jars, origin information and the CE marking for glass products such as windows. Our labeling systems ensure optimum adhesion and well readability.
Precise and crease-free
INDUSTRIAL LABELING OF GLASS SURFACES
Glass packaging and containers almost always have a label. These usually contain barcodes, QR codes and alphanumeric codes with prescribed information for consumer and product safety. Glass medicine bottles and cosmetic jars are often sealed with sealing labels. In the beverage industry, for example with wine labels and other bottle labels, information on recycling (disposable/reusable) in accordance with the Packaging Act and marketing also play a major role, as labels are an important identifier for beverage brands.
Labels on glass have to be precisely positioned and printed in a clearly readable manner. Labelers, be they label dispensers with finished labels or label printing dispensers that print the labels during the production process, should therefore be optimally adapted to the industrial environmental conditions: production speed, humidity, cold, heat or dust and dirt. When selecting the labels, it is important to consider whether they should stick as permanently as possible or have to be removed without leaving any residue. The latter is necessary, for example, in the beverage industry for returnable bottles and in the construction industry for glass panes for windows and doors. Here, for example, labels with the CE mark and manufacturer's information should be easy to remove without leaving any annoying residue on the glass.

According to §32 of the German Packaging Act (VerpackG), all drinks packaging has to be clearly marked with the words EINWEG or MEHRWEG, at least in the same size as the price label. This does not apply to sparkling wine, wine, juices and packaging with a capacity of more than three liters.
The EU directive standardizes the disposal of packaging across Europe and aims to reduce the impact of packaging and packaging waste on the environment. In Germany, it is implemented by the Packaging Act.
The EU regulation regulates which information must be provided on drinks packaging: List of ingredients, best before date (BBD), net quantity, alcohol content in percent by volume (%vol) if greater than 1.2 %vol, caffeine content for energy drinks (not for coffee and tea).
In the LKV, the Federal Ministry of Health has stipulated that only foodstuffs with a batch number consisting of letters, numbers or letters and numbers may be put into circulation in Germany. This allows them to be clearly assigned to a production batch.
