Case Study

Organic Winery Embraces Naked Bottle Design

An organic winery in Oregon adopted a NOVA UV glass bottle printer to produce their premium Pinot Noir bottles with a label-free, direct-print design. The wrap-around vineyard illustration and vintage details are printed directly onto the glass, creating an elegant, sustainable package. The move eliminated 200,000 paper labels annually, reducing waste and aligning with their eco-conscious brand values. The distinctive "naked bottle" won a packaging design award and increased direct-to-consumer sales by 20%. The printer's ability to handle their heavy, punted bottles with ease was a key factor in their choice.

Premium Spirit Brand Launches Collectible Series

A premium gin distillery used a NOVA UV glass bottle printer to launch a series of artist-designed limited editions. The printer reproduced the vibrant, complex artwork directly onto the glass at 30 bottles per minute, with the white ink making the colors pop on the dark blue glass. Each bottle is uniquely numbered using the variable data feature. The series sold out online within hours, and the brand's social media following doubled. The digital process allowed them to do a run of just 2,000 bottles economically.

Olive Oil Producer Upgrades Premium Line

A Greek olive oil producer used a NOVA UV glass bottle printer to decorate their single-estate oil bottles with stunning, full-color images of the olive groves. The UV print is resistant to oil and humidity, maintaining its beauty in the kitchen. The premium packaging allowed them to increase their price by 25% and gain listings in gourmet stores across Europe. The ability to print small batches for different estates was a perfect fit for their product line.

Premium Embellishments With Digital Varnish

Premium Embellishments With Digital Varnish

The printer's varnish channel can add a high-gloss spot finish over a logo or a luxurious soft-touch matte feel to the entire bottle. One distillery uses a raised varnish to simulate a wax seal over the closure, an effect that previously required costly manual labor. These digital embellishments enhance the tactile and visual luxury of the product.
