UV Ink Glass’In®

The Perfect Solution for Glass Traceability with UV Ink

Glass’In® is the innovative technology developed by Atheor for marking glass using high-performance UV ink, designed to ensure secure, permanent, and non-counterfeitable traceability. Perfect for wine bottles, champagne, cosmetics, and other glass containers, it is easily integrable into existing production lines.

Glass’In® is an advanced solution for glass traceability using UV ink, offering either invisible marking (visible only under UV light) or a clearly visible white marking. Optical reading is extremely fast and accurate, with no interference from the color of the glass or the liquid inside. The UV ink used is indelible and highly resistant to solvents, acids, and bases, making the marking reliable even in the most critical conditions. The system is compatible with various coding formats, including Data Matrix, QR codes, alphanumeric codes, and logos, and is also particularly suitable for identifying containers in the recycling cycle.

From a production standpoint, Glass’In® ensures high performance: DOD printing with UV ink reaches speeds of up to 26,500 bottles per hour, with UV light curing integrated directly in-line. The marking is manipulable after just two minutes and fully dry within 24 hours. Reading an invisible DataMatrix code takes only 12 milliseconds per bottle. This technology is ideal for applications in the beverage sector for wine and spirits, cosmetics, food, and generally for any glass container intended for reuse.

FAQ

What materials can industrial inkjet coders print on?
Industrial inkjet coders can code and mark a wide range of materials, including cardboard, plastic, glass, PET, metal, flexible films, and secondary packaging. Thanks to the different technologies available (CIJ, TIJ, high and low resolution), they suit many industrial sectors.

What information can be printed with an inkjet coder?
Industrial inkjet systems can print batch codes, expiration dates, 1D and 2D barcodes, QR codes, datamatrix codes, logos, variable text, and product traceability information. Some models also support data serialization and high-definition coding.

Are inkjet coders suitable for high-speed production lines?
Yes. Industrial inkjet coders are designed to work on very fast production lines too, delivering sharp, accurate, and continuous printing without direct contact with the product. Some models are developed specifically for demanding, high-output production environments.

What advantages do industrial inkjet coders offer over other coding systems?
Inkjet coders offer great application flexibility, high print quality, operating speed, and easy integration into production lines. They also reduce machine downtime, require little maintenance, and deliver reliable coding even in harsh industrial environments.
