Printing is the most effective method for applying a logo, text, or solid color to a bottle, with screen printing and pad printing being the primary techniques.
Screen printing uses a blade to transfer ink onto the surface from a screen.
The screen is loaded with ink, and the blade moves across it to push the color through the mesh, printing the design.
Each passage requires complete drying to ensure the ink adheres firmly to the surface, with the number of passages depending on the decoration.
Pad printing involves a stamp dipped in ink and applied to the surface.
A machine applies pressure to ensure the ink filters through the cliché, revealing the text or design.
