A “Transparent” Dive into Glass Blog Series Part 3: Decoration Considerations to Drive Brand Differentiation

A wine packaging solution with a distinctive and engaging look can easily resonate with your consumers and differentiate your product from competitors. Whether it’s a stock or custom wine bottle, it’s important to consider the entire packaging aesthetic—from closure differentiation to bottle shape and possible glass decorations. Whichever direction you decide to go with your wine bottle, TricorBraun WinePak can help provide you with exceptional packaging, expert guidance, and a competitive edge.

Color and Effects 

Aside from clear, glass can be available in a few different colors. However, the material can be tweaked or optimized to create various color effects. For example:

• • Spray applications give the effect of a different bottle color. 
  • Matte, glossy, ombre, or frosted finishes can customize the bottle's color and sheen.

Glass Embossing and Cartouches

Glass embossing is ideal for brand identification and provides a textured effect that captivates consumers and indicates premiumization. An embossed area is more fragile, so avoiding a place on the bottle that connects with another bottle is essential to prevent stress fractures and breakage on automated filling and labeling lines. Cartouches on wine bottles are becoming increasingly popular and can help a consumer recognize your brand much quicker and easier among other bottles on the shelf.

Closures and Capsules

Stylized custom closures and capsules can also set your brand apart. WinePak offers a variety of stock or custom capsule options as well as screwcap closures to complete your BVS neck finish wine bottles. Screwcap closures are increasing in popularity for various reasons, including providing consistency from one bottle to another. These special types of closures aid in preserving wine’s aroma, flavor, and freshness, and will not leave cork taint in your wine. We also provide custom color and design options as well.
