In recent years, glass has progressed from simple forms to China glassware packaging provide the marketer with a brilliant array of colours, shapes and finishes to help grab the consumer’s attention China liquor bottle.

Henry Ford once said that China glass bottle the customer could have any colour he wanted so long as it was black. China perfume packaging Not so long ago the same applied to glass. Black wasn’t available, China wine packaging just flint, green and brown. Today, the colours available, including black, would complement any artist’s palette.

A bottle’s image can also be enhanced by myriad different finishes. Shape and decorative methods China perfume packaging such as embossing China perfume container, sleeving, pressure sensitive labelling, China glass container coating and screenprinting can be used separately or in combination to China perfume bottle create tailored branding solutions.

No matter how well glass is perceived by China perfume bottle consumers, its protagonists cannot afford to sit on their laurels.

A fifth gear has to be found. Allied Glass Containers found that fifth gear with Diageo’s Sambão China liquor container mid-proof cachaca spirit bottle.

Sambão was winner of the Glass Packaging Award at the inaugural UK Packaging Awards in September China perfume container.

The lime wedge design China glass bottle made this pack the outright winner since it was considered to China wine container stretch technical boundaries through the application of off-set mould seams to China perfume bottle achieve a multi-curved panel together with debossed label panels and an embossed crest. The innovative design was delivered at the China glassware packaging optimum glass weight for this shape of container China perfume packaging.

Designers at Rockware Glass have recently been shedding more light on embossing, which often provides China wine packaging the most tangible expression of the brand as well as an impression of premium quality. To create maximum impact, embossing is often located around the shoulder of the container, China glass container which also happens to be the trickiest area to work on.

Traditionally, to create an embossed bottle, the glass designer supplies the mould maker with 2D artwork which is used to produce the finished mould. But even the most precise of the traditional techniques China perfume packaging could fail to replicate the original artist’s impression. Poorly machined moulds mean that the glass produced often contains slight imperfections on the embossing. New moulds have to be China glassware packaging made and production repeated, incurring additional costs and delays China wine packaging.

In their search for a solution that would satisfy their customers and production colleagues, Rockware’s China glass container CAD systems technologist China perfume bottle Brian Howard and senior designer Steve Glover came up with a desktop rapid prototyping system.

“The results exceeded China wine bottle our expectations,” says design department section leader Tony Baker. “By creating a 3D model and capturing all the data of the container and specifically the embossing detail, our mould manufacturer can China perfume container produce an exact and fault-free China glass bottle mould that will form a clean, crisp and clear relief onto the shoulder of the container.”

The power of design was demonstrated China wine bottle by Rockware’s innovation and new product development China wine container manager Chris Todd in a ‘one-off’ project for F Duerrs and Sons. Rockware set about creating an elegant-looking jar that would contain the world’s most expensive marmalade to China liquor packaging celebrate 125 years of prize-winning marmalade manufacture.

The result is a crystal glass decanter. A glass bowl China perfume container with a silver stopper sits in China wine bottle a solid glass base. The bowl and China glass container base were hand made by skilled glassblowers at the Dial Glassworks in Stourbridge.

Silversmiths crafted the China glassware packaging silver lid and lid housing on the top of the decanter, and the finishing touches were added by hand engraving China wine bottle.
