Spotlight on: Fusing Container Design and Branding

How do you design a glass bottle that enhances your brand’s image? What are the trade-offs between a distinctive design and container performance? In this new, 12-module e-seminar, AGR’s design experts will explore branding options, stress levels, and performance implications for three different bottle categories: stock, custom, and unique. 

This e-seminar is perfect for glass packaging engineers and marketing professionals in the beverage industry who want their brands to stand out on a store shelf while being robust on the filling line. Glass manufacturers involved with sales or technical service will also benefit by learning how to present their products to fillers.
