Beatson Clark has been manufacturing quality glass bottles and jars for over 270 years, and now thanks to its new state-of-the-art facility the company can also spray glass packaging any colour and achieve dazzling effects such as opaque, frosted, vignette, glitter and pearlescent.
What’s more, Beatson Clark can offer a flexible service by provided by the customer, subject to suitability, as well as its own range of bottles and jars.
“Thanks to the latest cutting-edge technology and innovation, we can create premium, eye-catching effects that can elevate a brand and leave a lasting impression with the consumer,” explained Richard Pike, Decorating Plant Manager at Beatson Clark.
“Our new decorating plant is just the latest major investment we’ve undertaken to strengthen our status as an independently owned market leader and to ensure that customers get the highest quality service and products.”
The new decorating plant uses both an electrostatic disc and a spray gun method to achieve a variety of colourful effects, with a quality finish.
It uses premium water-based paint which ranges from high gloss to full matt, in a choice of translucency levels, and it can colour-match paint to suit the customer’s requirements.
To help improve shelf life of food, beverage and pharmaceutical products alike, Beatson Clark can also spray a UV coating to glass packaging to protect products from the harmful effects of sunlight, including light strike in beers, and changes to the colour and flavours of food products.
Beatson Clark will be introducing the array of effects available at this year’s London Packaging Week in 11 and 12 September. Visitors will see a wide variety of sprayed samples on stand G54.
