Glass is one of the oldest man-made packaging materials. The first finds from Mesopotamia date back to around 1600 BC. Glass containers were already being used in Egypt around 1450 BC. It was here that the Romans discovered the advantages of glass, primarily the Flavour neutrality<\/strong> compared to the vessels made of clay, wood or leather that had been common until then.<\/p>\n

The technology of glass production was continuously developed and quickly spread throughout Europe. Today, glass in Germany occupies the fourth place in the packaging balance<\/strong> in. Every year, more than 17 billion glass containers are produced from around four million tonnes of glass and are primarily used in the Food industry<\/strong> used. 40 per cent of drinks are filled in glass packaging. The main advantage of this type of packaging material is the good availability of the required, predominantly natural, raw materials, such as sand, soda and lime, whereby the largest raw material input in glass production is waste glass, which is recycled after an average of fifty uses of Reusable packaging<\/strong> from glass is fed back into the process and thus contributes to a significantly improved energy balance.<\/p>\n

Glass packaging with excellent properties<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In addition to the aforementioned advantages of the raw material base for glass production, technological improvements since 1970 have also led to a 25%igen weight reduction<\/strong> of packaging with a simultaneous increase in Breaking strength<\/strong>. In addition, glass packaging is physiologically safe to use and can therefore be described as sustainable in the best sense of the word. The design element has also become increasingly important in recent times. Glass is an ideal raw material for outstanding packaging design<\/strong> and thus help many well-known brands to set their products apart from the competition.<\/p>

Packaging as a carrier of the brand message<\/strong><\/p>\n

With premium spirits, for example, care is taken to minimise the Value of the brand<\/strong> by using packaging with special details in terms of shape, colour, embossing or engraving. Rocker Spirits, a micro-distillery based in Littleton, Colorado, brought such a brand vision to the world's largest glass container manufacturer, O-I, Owens-Illinois, Inc. O-I is a preferred partner of many of the world's leading food and beverage brands. A bottle was developed that can swing<\/strong>. The design is based on a vintage oil can from the 1930s with a Tilting mechanism<\/strong>, who has the Pouring made easier<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201eRocker Spirits asked us to develop an iconic bottle, and we asked ourselves: How can we translate the oil can into glass?\u201c says Douglas Laib, Innovation and Product Design Group Leader at O-I North America. \u201eFor us, however, solutions must also always have a story behind them. Added value<\/strong> for both consumers and brands that want to stand out from the competition,\u201c explains Steffi Lenz, Innovation Project Manager at O-I.<\/p>\n

This claim was also realised by the O-I subsidiary GLASSPACK GmbH & Co. KG and the Bonn-based fruit processing company true fruits GmbH also realised this claim. The true fruits concept is: 100 % fruit - no tricks, no concentrates, no added sugar and no colourings. The promise is transferred to the packaging. The Simple design<\/strong> in the form of a Glass carafe<\/strong>, provided with a high-quality ceramic print<\/strong>, caught the eye of the jury of the 2014 German Packaging Competition and was honoured with the German Packaging Award (DVP). The large cap is easy to open and pouring into a glass is simple. The overall concept was thus implemented excellently.<\/p>\n

In 2015, St\u00f6lzle Glas Deutschland submitted a cobalt blue whisky decanter for the German Packaging Award and received an award. The sharp-edged and at the same time straight design<\/strong> of the packaging is very unusual in itself and breaks with the familiar category characteristics. The resulting attention and unique position can not only New target groups<\/strong> and open up, but also brings a modern look<\/strong> The product clearly stands out from the often traditional brand appearances and thus positions whisky drinking in the lifestyle. The jury was also struck by the high technical demands placed on production. The processing of blue glass poses a major challenge due to its special chemical composition, which was successfully mastered by the St\u00f6lzle Glass Group.<\/p>\n

The cosmetics industry also attaches great importance to glass packaging that minimises the Brand value<\/strong> to its best advantage. In 2016, the perfume manufacturer Curiosity from Tokyo received an iF Design Award for the glass bottle created for the perfume \u201eCuriosity Essence\u201c, which contains \u201ethe fragrance for eternity\u201c.
