Make Your Custom Glass Bottle From Concept To Product
#1 Custom Glass Bottle Drawing
Our custom designed glass containers are designed
in close cooperation with our customers.
The designs may be based on our own drafts, our
customers’ ideas or concepts by externally commissioned
designers.
Once the design has been created, a bottle specification
drawing is produced to define measurable features of the
bottle, whilst observing the manufacturing limits.
#2 Making Custom Glass Bottle Molds
Our glass expert are dedicated to developing the most effective
bottle for your specific product. They will evolve your idea and
set up a bottle, which will perfectly convey the products emotion.
Our state-of-the-art technology and equipment ensures a very
short development time from the first drawing to the actual
decorated glass samples.
#3 Putting All Raw Materials Together
The basic ingredients are sand, limestone and recycled cullet.
All these raw materials are weighed and then mixed together. The
collection of these raw materials is referred to as a batch.
#4 Melting &Shaping the Glass
All raw materials are melted in a furnace reaching temperatures
of up to 1600°C. It can take up to two days for the materials to
melt appropriately before the bottles can be made.
The liquid glass is directed further into the feeder and at this point
the forming process can begin. Glass gobs are cut off where they
can then enter the moulds.
#5 From Hot to Cold – Annealing & Inspecting
Annealing describes the process in which the glass containers
are cooled after the moulding process. This is achieved in a
heated furnace called a Lehr where the glass is reheated and
then slowly cooled down to room temperature.
As the conveyor belt leaves the Lehr, the bottles then go through
an extensive inspection process. Numerous automated inspection machines are in place where all containers are checked for defects
and rectified if necessary.
#6 Packing Safely For Transport
Glass is a fragile material, which makes packing our products
all the more important ensuring they are absolutely safe for
transport.
We take pride in responsible packaging and remain flexible
to the needs and wishes of our customers. We offer large
trays, small trays, shrink-packaging, rented trays, carton or plastic
layers, Euro or industrial pallets.
