Innovation in Glass Decoration

Less Environmental Impact and Higher Quality

The glass decoration industry is experiencing profound change, driven by sustainable approaches and modern technologies. Peyer Decor, together with Marabu Inks and Koenig & Bauer Kammann, is setting new standards that both reduce environmental impact and increase quality. Advances such as cold-end processes, digital foiling, and the use of organic colors lead to more energy efficiency and sustainability.

Reduced CO2 Emissions Through Cold-End Processes

Among the most important developments is the use of cold-end processes. Unlike traditional high-temperature methods, they require significantly less energy. This substantially reduces CO2 emissions and shrinks the ecological footprint of glass decoration.

Peyer Decor and its partners are among the pioneers of this technology. By eliminating energy-intensive firing processes, not only is the environment protected, but production is also made more efficient – a significant step in the fight against climate change.

Energy Efficiency: Less Gas and Electricity

Cold-end decoration significantly reduces energy consumption. Classic glass decoration requires large amounts of gas and electricity, while cold processes manage with substantially less energy. This saves costs and reduces environmental impact. Especially with large production volumes, this efficiency has a strong effect.

The Advantages of Digital Foiling

Digital foiling is a technological breakthrough. It combines the precision of digital printing with the high-quality appearance of classic foil effects. This creates detailed, consistent, and visually impressive designs.

The main advantages:

• High precision and repeatability, less waste
• Higher efficiency through integrated workflows
• Flexible individualization and better brand presentation
  

Organic Colors: Safe and Sustainable

Another advancement is the use of organic colors that are free from harmful substances. They are safer for people and the environment without losing brilliance or adhesion. Marabu Inks develops such sustainable colors that are perfectly matched to the systems of Peyer Decor and Koenig & Bauer Kammann.

Conclusion: Pioneering Sustainable Glass Decoration

The collaboration of the three companies shows how innovation and sustainability can work together. Cold-end processes, lower energy consumption, digital foiling, and organic colors set new industry standards and enable high-quality, yet environmentally friendly glass products.

As demand for premium glass packaging grows, these solutions are crucial for a responsible future of glass decoration.

The latest developments will be presented at Glasstec – International Trade Fair 2024, an ideal opportunity to get to know the industry's future technologies.
