The gloss finish is one of the most popular and effective options to make your product stand out. A gloss finish offers a shiny, smooth surface that attracts attention and gives a premium, luxurious look to any glass bottle.

Gradient / Fade Out

Metallics & Sparkles

Metallic coatings significantly enhance the visual appeal by creating a luxurious look, a sense of exclusivity and high value.

Satin / Matt

Satin and matt finishes are among most popular coatings in the world of packaging due to their ability to perfectly blend aesthetics with functionality.

Tinted Glass Imitation

Simulated tinted glass replicates the natural colour of traditionally glass mass colouring, such as forehearth colouring.

Topcoat & Primer for Vacuum Metallisation

Primers and topcoats are essential in the vacuum metallisation process of glass bottles to ensure both functional and aesthetic quality.

UV Blocking

Bottled products are vulnerable to UV light, which can affect colour, flavour, and stability. A truly effective method of UV protection is applying a UV blocking coating.
