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.
