FAQ

DECO GLAS successfully developed its own market with the industrial decoration of packaging glass. Today we are the European market leader in the decoration of glass and ceramic and export to more than 30 countries worldwide.

At the company’s site in Montabaur, around 150 employees work in multiple shifts and ensure that more than 170 million bottles and glass containers are refined into high-quality glass packaging every year. Renowned customers in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries count on the company’s many years of experience and expertise. With a great deal of passion for innovative and creative solutions, our specialists realise almost every requirement.

DECO GLAS was founded in 1971. The DECO GLAS GmbH is primarily the work of Peter Böttger. He started with splinter protection coatings for the Merck company in a small workshop in Selters/Westerwald. It soon became apparent that Peter Böttger had discovered a market niche. The owner-managed company, which is now based in Montabaur, has succeeded in turning high-tech demands and a family atmosphere into a model for success. Through continuous investment in high-tech machinery and with the knowledge and commitment of the entire team, we give our customers the edge they need to shine in the market.

No, we only decorate glass containers/bottles or ceramic containers.

Our minimum quantity is 10,000 pieces. The minimum quantity applies per print motif or per glass size/shape.

We process bottles that are delivered on pallets. Pallets can only be processed by type. It is not possible to subdivide or fill different glass types on one pallet.

On request, we will be happy to provide you with a competitive offer including graduated prices.

We will be happy to make our extensive network in the glass industry available to you and support you in the selection process. The actual ordering and delivery of the raw glass to DECO GLAS is your responsibility. However, delivery is usually already included in a corresponding offer from our partners.

No, but here too we make our extensive network of manufacturers, glass dealers or glassworks available to you and advise you on your choice.

We evaluate each project individually, as prices are highly dependent on the chosen production process in conjunction with the desired quantities. It is important to us that you receive an individually tailored and competitive offer. Accordingly, we do not offer a price list.

If we have the desired quantity, a bottle drawing and a visualisation or the print image (front and back) of the product to specify the printing process, you will receive an initial price indication at short notice. You will receive a binding offer after all relevant production parameters have been determined in the course of production sampling.

Yes, a production sample is indispensable for initial production to check the technical feasibility (tools, print image, adhesion, etc.). It also serves as a reference and test sample for our production and for preparing a binding offer. The following information should ideally be available for sampling:

• The desired quantity (Please note our minimum quantity of 10 000 pieces.
  The minimum quantity applies per print motif or per glass size/shape.)
• Bottle/glass shape, type (technical drawing) and the capacity
• One original raw glass sample for initial inspection
• Details of the filling material
• The pallet packing scheme (how are the bottles placed on the pallet?)
• Desired finishing technique(s)
• Information on the print image/artwork/design incl. number of colours
• Cleaning and filling conditions

We will be happy to help you compile all the necessary information.
