Case Study

Returnable Beer Bottle Program Runs Smoothly

A consortium of breweries in Europe operates a returnable bottle program and uses NOVA bottle screen printing machines to apply permanent, ceramic-frit labels that last the lifetime of the bottle. The machines print at high speed on the bottling line, applying a white base and a single color logo. The thick ceramic ink is fused in a lehr oven, creating a label that cannot be washed off. The machines' extreme durability and low maintenance are critical for this non-stop application. They have processed over 500 million bottles.

The ability to apply a tactile, raised ink effect adds to the premium perception. The machine's output meets their substantial global demand without compromising the artisanal look of the decoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of a bottle screen printing machine?

It applies a much thicker and more opaque layer of ink compared to digital printing, creating a highly durable and tactile finish, ideal for premium brands and reusable bottles.

Can it print on both round and non-round bottles?

Yes, we provide specialized tooling and motion profiles for round, oval, and square bottles, ensuring proper contact and registration on all common shapes.

How durable is the print on a glass bottle?

With ceramic inks and thermal curing, the print becomes a permanent part of the glass. With UV inks, it creates a very tough, scratch-resistant, and dishwasher-safe film.

How fast can I change the machine over for a different bottle?

With quick-change mandrels and stored recipes, a trained operator can change the entire machine over for a new bottle size in under ten minutes.

Is screen printing or digital printing better for my bottles?

Screen printing is more cost-effective for very long runs of the same design. Digital printing is better for short runs, multiple design versions, and photorealistic imagery.

Permanent Decoration For Reusable Bottles

The bottle screen printing machine, when used with ceramic inks, is the only technology that can produce a label that lasts for the 10-15 year lifespan of a returnable glass bottle. The ink is fused into the glass, making it completely impervious to caustic washing, abrasion, and weathering, a critical requirement for sustainable bottle programs.

Unmatched Ink Opacity And Vibrancy

Screen printing delivers a pigment-rich, thick ink film that provides flawless coverage in a single pass. For printing a solid white logo on dark green glass, or a vibrant red on a clear bottle, the color intensity and hiding power are simply unattainable with inkjet or label processes.

Built For Decades Of Production

The machine's cast-iron base, oversized bearings, and heavy-gauge steel construction are designed for a multi-decade service life. In an industry where production lines run continuously, this over-engineered durability ensures a low total cost of ownership and a return on investment that spans years of trouble-free operation.
