O-I’s new printing service, ‘Expressions Signature,’ answers this demand, allowing brands to create personalized glass bottles with different graphics, colors, words, names, and other effects. A significant milestone for the glass bottle industry.

Personalized glass bottles can be used for various beverages like wine, beer, and water, providing a unique and memorable way to promote your brand, give a gift, or simply enjoy your favorite beverage in style. You can create your own personalized product in many ways.

For businesses, personalized glass bottles can be a powerful marketing tool. By printing their logo, slogan, or other branding elements on glass bottles, businesses can create and establish their unique brand identity. It can also be used to run promotions and contests, or to offer as gifts to customers and employees.

For most people, personalized glass bottles are a great way to add a personal touch to any occasion. They make great gifts for special occasions, such as weddings, birthdays, holidays, and even concerts or festivals.

No matter what your needs are, these bottles are a great way to add a touch of uniqueness and personality to your everyday life. With a variety of personalization options available, you can create personalized glass bottles that are both beautiful and functional.

This is made possible by VDP, a digital printing process that allows personalization of each printed piece in a single print run.

One of the most famous applications of VDP is Coca-Cola’s “Share a Coke” campaign. Coca Cola used this technology to print popular first names on their labels. Today, they let customers select the brand, an occasion or theme, and add a customized name or phrase.

Variable data printing is not just for bottles. It is a versatile technology that is still an industry staple and is finding new applications in emerging technologies such as NFTs. It can be used to create personalized NFTs for a variety of purposes, such as collectibles, access passes, tickets, real estate, art, and music.

Our server host, GoDaddy, recently informed us that the server we have been using for years is being replaced.  What this means to you is that after October 31, when PSL “calls home” that operation will fail.  Of course, we have established a new server and moved everything over to it.  

You will be notified this week, before October 31, of a requirement to download and install a patch to PSL so it calls the right server. That operation is very simple.  You need to do nothing more than download and run the program provided.  No changes to anything are needed.
