Glass bottles and custom labels — a perfect combination for beverage brands
Glass isn’t just a container — it’s a statement about quality, luxury and making a sustainable choice. How do you make sure your label tells the same brand story?
Find the right label that complements your glass bottle and shatters expectations.
Don’t scrimp: Why quality glass bottles matter for smooth label application
You may choose imported or mass-produced glass bottles for their low prices. Did you know that even tiny imperfections, like a slight neck tilt or small chips, can interrupt label application and lead to production delays? Details matter when you’re aiming for premium.
Cheap bottles can cause problems during the filling and label application process in several ways, including:
- Label failure
Your bottles will ultimately be run through filling and label application equipment at high speeds that relies on uniformity to work properly. Inconsistencies — even small ones — such as crooked necks, pronounced seams, chips or indents can slow down the machine or stop production entirely. - Label waste
Defective and scrapped labels mean more waste. Increased runtimes also mean more production emissions as well as energy consumption from the transport of labels. - Slow label application speeds
Production time goes up when employees intervene to remove defective bottles to prevent bottle and machine breakage. These interventions increase your own per-bottle production costs. - Supply chain availability
Shipping times from overseas suppliers can also be unpredictable, and customer service difficult to reach. These slowdowns can devastate your fill lines and lead to waste for perishable products.
Some label adjustments to accommodate your bottle quality may end up costing you more in the end — so make sure to weigh increased label costs against the savings of lower quality imported glass.
The right label partner empowers beverage brands
A knowledgeable label and packaging partner can empower beverage brands by offering a comprehensive product portfolio of label materials, finishes and printing techniques, and eco-friendly label solutions. They can also assist with the design and production to ensure the labels can be applied consistently to glass bottles. Your partner should have the expertise to help you avoid common pitfalls that can detract from your premium image.
