BottleTEC – Corona Surface Treatment for Bottles and Cylindrical Containers
Strong, reliable label and ink adhesion is critical in modern packaging. With branding becoming more important than ever, bottle manufacturers cannot afford labels that peel off or logos that fade. Adhesion failures often occur because bottle materials like PE, PET, and PP are chemically inert, preventing coatings, adhesives, and inks from bonding effectively.
The BottleTEC system from Tantec solves these challenges by using advanced corona surface treatment technology. By activating the surface of bottles, it creates microscopic bonding sites that allow inks, coatings, and labels to adhere securely. This ensures labels stay in place until full destruction and that printed designs maintain a professional look throughout the product’s lifecycle.
Reliable 360° Treatment for Maximum Adhesion
The BottleTEC system treats cylindrical containers in high-speed molding, printing, labeling, or filling lines. As bottles rotate through the system, they receive 360° uniform treatment. This is achieved through Tantec’s patented rotating electrode technology, ensuring consistent performance even at high throughput speeds.

Why Surface Treatment Matters in Bottle Production
Without proper surface treatment, printing inks can smear and labels fail to bond, leaving products looking low quality. By preparing the surface with corona treatment, bottle manufacturers ensure that coatings, adhesives, and labels stay in place — even under demanding conditions.
With BottleTEC, brands achieve packaging that looks professional, withstands handling and storage, and reinforces customer trust.
