The Unsung Hero of Glass Packaging: Annealing.
Most people see a glass bottle and think about the mold or the design. But the real magic—and the secret to its strength—happens in the lehr (annealing oven).
Without this critical step, glass is a ticking time bomb of internal stress. Annealing is the process of heating the glass to a precise temperature and then slowly cooling it to relieve those stresses. It’s the difference between a bottle that shatters under pressure and one that stands the test of time.
