Monvera Glass Décor Helps Waugh Cellars Find a Unique Solution to Improve Bottling Line Efficiency
Richmond, CA (PRWEB) May 15, 2014 -- Monvera Glass Décor, a leading provider of screen printed labels is promoting the use paperless labels as a way to improve efficiency on the bottling line. Rather than the conventional method of applying a paper label when the wine is bottled, the process of screen printing puts the label directly on the glass bottle before filling. The bottle arrives on the bottling line with the label already applied, saving time, reducing bottling costs and eliminating waste.
"Screen printing on bottles provides a clear benefit that is often overlooked. The bottling line runs a lot more efficiently when you don’t have to worry about the application of the paper label. That efficiency translates into saved time and money,” says Caitriona Anderson, Monvera’s VP of Sales & Marketing. “We encourage our customers to consider this cost saving when they are making a decision regarding printing on glass bottles."
Waugh Cellars reaped double the benefit when they decided to use both a screen printed label and screen printed the neck design on their wine bottle. In addition to omitting the need to apply the paper label on the bottling line, they were also able to eliminate the need for a foil capsule. “When we decided to forgo the use of foil capsules, instead opting for screen printed necks, the bottlers really loved us,” said Crystal Waugh, Director of Sales. “Less moving parts equal a more efficient production process.”
It’s not just brands that recognize the efficiencies. Mobile bottlers also welcome this new way of labeling bottles. According to Bill Hamlin, Owner, Custom Bottling Company in WA, “Many issues can exist with the application of paper labels on the bottling line. We’ve lost many hours of bottling in the past. Unfortunately that results in extended bottling time and pushes up our costs.”
