XAAR’S DIGITAL INKJET TECHNOLOGY DRIVES KAMMANN’S AWARD-WINNING CUSTOMISATION OF JOHNNIE WALKER BOTTLES

Xaar’s Ultra High Viscosity Technology is powering Koenig & Bauer Kammann’s latest digital decoration breakthrough, in a striking collaboration that produced 5,000 uniquely printed Johnnie Walker whisky bottles for Diageo.

Kammann, part of Koenig & Bauer Group, specialises in high-quality decorative printing machines for glass, plastic and metal containers and has partnered with Xaar for over a decade, relying on its inkjet technology to drive innovation across its print systems.

In this latest collaboration, Kammann’s K15 decorative print machine was used to digitally print an image of 180 mm in height, directly onto all four sides of each glass bottle in just three passes, delivering the premium quality and production efficiency required for this exclusive project.

The limited-edition Johnnie Walker bottles showcase 50 original artworks by renowned pop artist Andy Gellenberg, which were further enhanced using generative AI to create a truly one-of-a-kind collection.
