What is the maximum production volume?
Up to 4,000 pieces per hour — 30 million pieces per year per plant. Lines built specifically for bottle decoration. Digital printing gives us full flexibility in managing artwork variations — no plates, no screens, no physical setup per design. ATIU’s business plan includes opening production facilities in other countries, starting with the United States.
Can ATIU handle limited edition runs?
From 5,000 pieces in up to 3 SKUs on the same primer. Multiple decorations in the same run. Digital printing gives us full flexibility in managing artwork variations — no plates, no screens, no physical setup per design.
Does ATIU decorate wine bottles?
Yes. Same sublimation process — full-body or partial decoration on any glass bottle geometry. For Italian and French wines — especially those destined for export markets — telling the estate’s story through the bottle is essential. ATIU transforms the glass surface into a canvas for that narrative.
