The product

BrightPack, packaging coatings.

The hot-end thermolustre coating for glass is sprayed onto the fresh glass after the moulding station and cures in the annealing lehr. It replaces heavy-metal and tin-based decoration, and it adds no step to the line.

For paper and fibre packaging, BrightPack supplies bio-based, biodegradable barrier coatings as powders, dispersions, films and granulates for injection moulding.

A bottle and a package
  • Metallic effect, no aluminium
  • Works on recycled glass
  • Permanent colour
  • Chemical and water resistance
  • Transparent, high gloss
  • Takes labels and decoration

The glass variants are already in commercial use. Colours and uses differ by container, so the finish is set at the spray and verified on your own glass.

In production

More than seven million flacons, coated at the hot end.

Brightplus developed the coating for a French luxury glass-packaging group’s flacons. It runs in-line at the hot end on the group’s own forming lines, replacing heavy-metal decoration with no added step. The flacons carry a mirror-metallic finish, and the glass still sorts as glass.

Flacons in several coating colours
Nine coloursFrom iridescent to tile orange, two of them exclusive.

Supply

Built to supply a glassworks, not a lab.

Brightplus formulates, tests, certifies and supplies the coating by the litre. The glassmaker or converter applies it in-line. The brand specifies the finish.

    Health and complianceWhat is in it, and what is not
    • Heavy-metal free, including tin compounds. No rare earth elements and no conflict minerals (3TG).
    • Green solvents only. Mild odour, no toxic fumes, no naphtha. No microplastics and no oil in the glass coating.
    RecyclingGlass stays glass
    • A thin layer: coated glass is still detected as glass under NIR in sorting operations.
    • No need to colour the whole glass batch, and the coating applies on recycled glass.
    RegulationPPWR requirements
    RecyclabilityAll packaging placed on the EU market must be recyclable. Harmonised design-for-recycling criteria and recyclability performance grades are phased in from 2030.
    PFAS in food-contact packagingFrom 12 August 2026, PFAS in food-contact packaging are restricted under the PPWR through specific concentration limits.
    Heavy metalsThe total concentration of lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium in packaging or packaging components must not exceed 100 mg/kg.
    • The PPWR applies from 12 August 2026, with certain requirements phased in over subsequent years, including harmonised design-for-recycling requirements from 2030.
    • Declared against REACH (SVHC, Annex XIV and XVII), CLP, RoHS and the Heavy Metals Directive 94/62/EC.
