Telluride Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Looking at doing something to my bottles besides sticker styled labels and originally had thought about getting them screen printed. When I got my quote to screen print the bottles it was expensive enough to look into doing it all in house. Semi automated would be preferred, but before I go the printing route I figured I should look into other options and was wondering if anyone has gone the engraving route. Engraving would surely take more time than screen printing, and on a scale of thousands of bottles would be the problem I foresee. Any info about sublimation? Does anyone else screen print their own bottles? What machine are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdkolstad Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I can't imagine it would be cheaper to print in-house unless you have the volume and expertise to make it worthwhile. While we found labels to be a bit less expensive and more suited to our logo, our quotes on screen printed glass seemed reasonable.

Mott Hill Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Sublimation? How does that apply here? I've never heard it used except in relation to phase change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telluride Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Dye sublimation is a heat transfer style of printing, theyve been able to do it on glass no problem, the one thing they can't do however is print white, we used sublimation printing at a ski manufacturer i worked at, i wasnt sure if anyone had tried using it, which is why i asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainely Engraving Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has gone with engraved bottles? I think with the right logo and layout it could be very sharp and would certainly differentiate itself. I'm only just getting into the distillery world but I do have glass (rocks, shot etc.) experience. If anyone is interested in pursuing this method I would be more than happy to be involved (consult or help with the production). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend suggested to me that no one wants to receive a fax and haven't I heard of email and why the hell do I keep talking about my ass. Any suggestions or should I get a new friend.

Black Creek Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Been a screen printer for 40 years. Even I do not print my own labels. Label company can do it cheaper than I ever will. I would advise you not to try screen printing in house if you have never been a screen printer. Been thinking about a laser myself for leather labels for our higher end products and other items for the tasting room and my sign business customers. Lasering a bottle requires an additional accessory to roll the bottle under the laser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
