Coding on glass is essential for manufacturers that require clear, durable, and compliant product identification. With the correct industrial printing technology, consistent results can be achieved even in high-speed and demanding production environments.
Newcode Partnership delivers proven industrial glass printing solutions for beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food manufacturers. By combining application expertise with advanced CIJ and TIJ technologies, Newcode ensures reliable coding on bottles, jars, and containers without compromising line efficiency.
Glass remains a preferred packaging material due to its premium appearance, recyclability, and inert properties. Manufacturers must ensure that printed information remains legible throughout the entire supply chain, from filling to handling, storage, and distribution, to protect their brand reputation and meet regulatory requirements.
When paired with the correct ink and printing technology, glass supports sharp, high-contrast printing for:
This is particularly important in sectors such as spirits, cosmetics, and specialty foods, where visual presentation directly influences purchasing decisions.
Glass packaging often undergoes cold storage, hot-fill processes, pasteurization, and exposure to moisture-heavy environments. Newcode’s industrial printing solutions are designed to maintain code integrity despite temperature variation, condensation, and physical handling.
Printing on glass presents specific technical challenges that require purpose-built equipment and application expertise.
Many beverage and pharmaceutical lines run continuously at high speeds. The Hitachi UX2 CIJ printer is specifically engineered for such environments.
Hitachi UX2 CIJ speed capability:
Ideal for bottling halls, the UX2 maintains performance despite condensation, vibration, and variable bottle positioning.
From amber glass beer bottles to pharmaceutical vials and cosmetic jars, shapes and colours vary widely. Newcode’s printheads deliver consistent readability by adjusting droplet control, throw distance, and ink formulation for each application.
Regulations, supply chain traceability, and brand requirements mean that every glass bottle or container must display accurate and permanent information. Typical markings include:
Newcode’s systems ensure that this information is printed clearly, consistently, and reliably to meet both compliance and consumer expectations.
Newcode integrates two world-leading printing technologies to support print-on-glass applications across all production environments.
Hitachi CIJ is widely recognised as the most reliable and low-maintenance solution for fast, continuous production lines.
Key advantages include:
The advanced UX2 model is designed for high-speed, multi-shift production. Hitachi CIJ systems are ideal for beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food manufacturers where uptime and traceability are critical.
Anser TIJ is the preferred choice for high-quality, high-resolution printing on premium glass packaging.
Key advantages include:
TIJ provides exceptional detail for cosmetics, artisan beverages, fragrances, and specialty goods, making it ideal for short to medium production runs and decorative applications.
Selecting the right print-on-glass solution depends on your surface type, product design, production speed, and regulatory requirements. Whether you need a high-speed CIJ system for a bottling line or a high-resolution TIJ solution for premium glass packaging, Newcode engineers can help you identify the most reliable and cost-effective option.
By integrating advanced Hitachi CIJ and Anser TIJ technologies, Newcode supports manufacturers with reliable, high-precision glass printing across demanding production environments. From high-speed bottling halls to premium packaging lines, our systems are designed to maximise uptime, improve print quality, and ensure every product carries clear, permanent, and compliant information.
