Spray Coating
Gradient Colour Coating
Implement an elegant feel to our Selective Line range or your bespoke glass bottle creation with a gradual colour coating that mirrors your distinctive brand hues. Utilise colour to draw attention to particular areas of your glass bottles, with partial, gradient or even two-tone colour coating.
You could apply a precision spray to the base of the bottle to reflect a slight hue of your brand colour to your chosen spirit, or our experts can utilise the vignette effect to carefully control a fade of colour on your bottle.
UV Screen Printing
UV screen printing adds vibrancy to your glass packaging through colour brilliance, aligning well with brands that have bright and bold graphic styles. Custom colour formulations can be developed that match your exact brand Pantone for a vivid aesthetic. Aside from their colour capabilities, UV inks are considered to be more sustainable than traditional solvent-based inks due to no release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Aside from an array of colour options to showcase your brand pantone, we host textured inks that enable us to deliver even more depth to your bottle. These inks can imitate various textures and can be used as an alternative to embossing or to provide lift and tactility to a previously flat image.
Window Painting
Add artistry to your bottle, with bespoke paintings etched into the face of your bottle. Window painting is a unique technique that can be applied in a couple of ways. The first comprises of masking the chosen area of your bottle that will host the design prior to an acid etch or spray that will conceptualise the design. The second involves delicately printing a clear varnish onto an already acid etch glass bottle that will bring the design to the forefront.
Case Studies
Bottle Enhancements
1
Frosting
Infuse elegance and a sense of exclusivity into your glass packaging, with frosting decoration. Using a technique known as acid etching, a solution is applied to the bottle, activating a process that results in a matte frosted finish. This decoration technique can be applied fully or partially to your chosen bottle.
2
Precious Metal Finish
Establish a high-calibre finish, by intertwining precious metal into your design. This luxurious addition could be applied to highlight your iconic logo in gold, silver or copper. Aside from creating a premium distinction to your bottle, the application of precious metals is highly durable.
3
Badge & Cartouche Application
A historic technique perfect for those established brands that have built a proud heritage. Taken from Ancient Egyptian times, Cartouche involves the creation of a round or oval shaped embellishment using die-casting, faux wax or flexible aluminium. Badges and cartouches take centre stage on the shoulder of a glass bottle and signify a timeless classic.
4
Waterslide Transfer / Decal Application
Curate a bottle that oozes prestige with the addition of waterslide transfers. Decals or transfers are developed using a unique adhesive technology that loosens when it comes into contact with water, applying the chosen design on the bottle permanently. Transfers can be silver or gold foiled and present metallic effects, offering a sophisticated way to embed focal points into your glass packaging.
Switching to Sustainable Alternatives
Aligning with our core value to ‘reimagine glass packaging for a sustainable future’ we are consistently investigating ways to enhance sustainable practices in our decoration department. Over the years, we have transitioned away from ceramic inks which require high temperatures to cure, meaning they are carbon intensive. Not only this, the application of ceramic inks to bottles can limit the end-of-life recyclability. Today, we are applying UV inks, that utilises significantly less energy and are widely recyclable to promote the circularity of glass packaging.
