Saralon GmbH has partnered with the premium glass decoration company Dekorglass Działdowo S.A. to combine creative design with printed electronics directly on glass bottles.
Introducing SaralLight LED on Glass
As a manufacturer of inks and production know-how for printed electronics, Saralon has developed a universally unique approach for direct printing of functional inks on glass bottles using fully automatic glass decoration systems. The technology, called SaralLight LED on Glass, showcases the successful mass commercialisation of printed electronics in consumer goods by transforming standard converters into advanced sophisticated printed electronics production systems.
To create this festive liqueur bottle that’s been widely distributed in the Christmas markets by a renowned international retailer, Saralon partnered with Polish premium glass decorator Dekorglass Działdowo S.A. They printed Saral Inks directly onto glass bottles and added mini-LEDs, all on a fully automated glass decoration line.
Proven market ready technology for distinctive bottle decoration
SaralLight LED on Glass has reliably passed due diligence and risk assessment processes:

Printed electronics is a sustainable additive manufacturing process that reduces waste compared to traditional electronics, which use subtractive etching and hazardous materials. In addition to these generic benefits of PE, SaralLight LED on Glass removes the need for plastic or paper labels, offering another eco-friendly benefit. To top it off, the innovative light activation on the glass upon touch adds a surprising and smart feature that delights shoppers and consumers.
