Tiama, Emhart and other major glass industry players are collaborating to define a standard for laser marks on glass containers. This standardisation will ensure a distinct laser code on every glass container worldwide.

To facilitate such a standard, Tiama has granted Bucher Emhart Glass a royalty to its patents, which secure the possibility to include information about the originating cavity and/or mould number in the laser mark on the glass container.

This standard code will enable the traceability of each glass container through its entire lifecycle, giving many benefits to consumers, glass producers, fillers and other glass industry players.
