At Paris Packaging Week 2025, Bormioli Luigi celebrates the anniversary of its signature Inside decor.
Applied to the inner surface of the container, the Inside coating enhances the glass bottles it decorates. From the outset, Bormioli Luigi has developed this solution to be both aesthetically pleasing and technically reliable: stability and compatibility of lacquers, honing of patented technologies... Year on year, volumes have increased, benefiting a process appreciated by brands for the added value it brings (aesthetics, product differentiation, protection of formulas, etc.).
In 2023, the Parma decoration workshop will be equipped with a new machine, increasing its theoretical capacity to 40 million parts per year. At the same time, the range of available colors has been expanded to include metallic lacquers for a mirror effect and brand-new transparent shades.
Another advantage of Inside is its suitability for all complementary decorating techniques, such as silk-screening, hot stamping, lacquering, etc. It can also be used for gradient effects or two-tone hues.
Multiple applications
Initially dedicated to simple bottle shapes, the Inside decor now adapts to all geometries, including the most complex, as well as cosmetic jars and even make-up products such as glass lipstick. Bormioli Luigi guarantees the systematic compatibility of lacquers with formulas, and carries out a specific homologation test for each development.
The decor developed by the Italian glassmaker complies with eco-design rules and achieves a very good comparative LCA. The water-based lacquers consume less energy than external lacquering, without dispersing particles into the atmosphere. The bottle retains a glass thickness whose transparency enables the material to be recognized by optical sorting during the recycling phase.
