Case Study

Craft Distillery Outfits Entire Decoration Studio

A craft distillery in Colorado purchased a suite of NOVA glass bottle printing equipment, including a digital UV printer and a hot stamping machine, to in-house all decoration. Previously spending $85,000 annually on outsourced screen printing and foiling, they now produce 2,000 decorated bottles weekly in-house with one technician. The digital equipment prints full-color labels with embossed highlights, while the hot stamping machine applies gold foil to bottle shoulders and brand crests. They launched a premium membership club with monthly limited-release bottles, each uniquely numbered and foiled, driving a 40% increase in direct-to-consumer revenue. The equipment’s small footprint fit their existing warehouse, and the electric-only operation avoided costly ventilation upgrades. Payback was achieved in 14 months, and they now offer contract decoration to neighboring distilleries.

Industrial Decorator Diversifies With Versatile Equipment

A Polish industrial decoration firm invested in multiple pieces of NOVA glass bottle printing equipment to serve the cosmetic and food industries under one roof. Their digital line prints photorealistic labels on lotion bottles at 35 pieces per minute, while the hot stamping line applies holographic foil to vodka bottles at 25 strokes per minute. By having versatile equipment, they won a contract with a major honey producer requiring both digital print and gold foil on the same bottle, a combination their competitors could not offer. The integrated NOVA control software allowed centralized job management, reducing setup errors by 90%. Annual revenue increased by $1.2 million, and the firm expanded to a second shift. Equipment reliability, with uptime above 97%, ensured they consistently met tight export shipping windows.

Glass Bottle Start-Up Commences With Entry-Level Equipment

A start-up kombucha brand in Australia used NOVA’s entry-level glass bottle printing equipment to launch with a premium, label-free aesthetic. They purchased a semi-automatic UV digital printer and started producing 500 bottles daily. The direct-print equipment allowed them to change artwork seasonally, keeping the brand fresh on social media. The ink’s resistance to condensation and cold storage maintained a pristine look from fridge to consumer. After their brand was acquired by a large beverage group, the new owners scaled up with two fully automatic NOVA production lines, maintaining the same print quality that built the brand. The start-up’s founder credited the accessible NOVA equipment for enabling rapid prototyping and market testing that eventually led to the acquisition.

Modular Equipment Architecture For Scalable Production

Modular Equipment Architecture For Scalable Production

NOVA’s glass bottle printing equipment is built on a modular platform, allowing customers to start with a single manual station and expand to a fully automated line. Common control architecture means that adding a hot stamping unit to an existing digital printer is a plug-and-play upgrade, not a new install. A Mexican tequila brand began with one digital printer and added automated loading, a foil stamper, and a conveyor over two years, each integration taking less than a week. The equipment communicates via OPC-UA, feeding production data into the customer’s MES. This scalability protects your initial investment and aligns capital expenditure with revenue growth, transforming your decoration department step by step without ever losing compatibility or requiring retraining.
Precision Hot Stamping Equipment With Digital Control

Precision Hot Stamping Equipment With Digital Control

NOVA’s hot stamping equipment for glass bottles delivers precise foil transfer with digitally controlled temperature, pressure, and dwell time. Servo-driven foil advance minimizes waste by indexing with 0.1mm accuracy, cutting foil consumption by 25% compared to pneumatic pullers. A cognac house used this equipment to apply a deep, multi-level embossed gold medallion that competitors said could not be automated. The stamping force of 30kN and heated silicone rollers conform to curved glass without cracking. Digital recipe storage allows operators to recall perfect parameters for each bottle shape, eliminating set-up scrap. This equipment has enabled luxury brands to create tactile, reflective embellishments that define shelf presence and justify premium pricing.
Integrated Pre-Treatment And Curing Solutions

Integrated Pre-Treatment And Curing Solutions

Proper surface preparation determines print and foil adhesion. NOVA includes integrated corona, plasma, or flame treatment modules in its glass bottle printing equipment line. These units increase surface energy to over 60 dynes/cm immediately before decoration. UV LED pinning lamps between color stations prevent dot gain, while the final cure station delivers 8W/cm² to polymerize ink and varnish completely. A brewery documented that adding a plasma treater eliminated their adhesion failure rate, saving $18,000 in rejected product annually. All pre-treatment and curing modules are managed through the main HMI, with parameters stored per job. This cohesive system guarantees consistent quality and simplifies the operator’s role.
