Glass Bottle Screen Printing

Cutting edge
process meets
experience.

Screen printing on bottles, also known as applied color labeling or ACL, is a delicate process that we’ve been perfecting for over twenty years. Utilizing the bottle as a canvas, we can work with standard colors and precious metals to create a label that is permanently fused to the glass. We also have the ability to print a 360° label, pushing the boundaries of traditional wine and spirits packaging. With print capabilities from 250 cases to 100,000 cases and bottle sizes from 50ml to 3L,our quality screen printing services provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional labeling.

Bergin's screen printing capabilities

Utilizing the entire bottle as a canvas is not only a unique branding opportunity, but our precise processes allow us to integrate the seam within the design for a completely seamless look.

Blending color is both a science and an art. We have the capability to print up to seven colors, create custom colors, and strive to color-match to the best of our ability. Additionally, we can create custom mixes to achieve specific textures or effects.

Precious metal inks, such as copper, gold, and platinum, offer a simple and refined way to achieve a high-end feel that truly represents the quality of the product inside.

Our production line is capable of printing on both the neck and shoulder of your bottles, furthering our view that the entire bottle could be utilized as a canvas.

We use interference colors, flux, and metallics to add dynamic, eye-catching effects to screen printed labels. From shimmering, vibrant, color-shifting effects to reflective finishes that highlight contours, textures, and details, these decoration methods elevate glass bottles with a multidimensional appeal.

Our advanced screen printing process allows for detailed photo imagery on glass, achieving intricate details and sharp definition that bring depth and realism to the label design.

Halftones and gradients bring depth and dimension to screen printed designs, allowing smooth color transitions and detailed shading. They enhance imagery with subtle nuance, making labels visually striking while maintaining precise, high-quality registration.

Satin etch provides a premium, tactile feel with a subtle, frosted look. Ideal for branding or decorative accents. It pairs seamlessly with metallic inks, colors, and raised textures to create layered, sophisticated label designs.

Perfected Production

Once artwork is approved and glass arrives, our Italian machines apply each individual color or precious metal layer of ceramic paint 1x directly onto the bottle's surface. They're then fired in a Lehrat temperatures up to 1180°F, permanently fusing the design onto the glass. The entire process, from set up to registration, is supervised by experienced team members for start-to-finish quality control.

Hidden Benefits of Screen Printing

Our screen-printed labels are waterproof, scuff-proof, cellar-proof, and tear-proof, ensuring your designs remain vibrant and intact from our production floor to your winery and onto store shelves, no matter how demanding the environment.

Screen printed bottles are fully recyclable pieces of glass with no use of paper or glue. Designed with sustainability in mind, they can be upcycled as vases, décor, candles or other vessels, giving your designs a second life while reducing environmental impact.

Screen printing allows for 360° wrap decorations, including the ability to print on the neck and shoulder maximizing bottle surface for stronger brand visibility and shelf impact.

Screen printed bottles arrive production-ready, which streamlines the filling process and eliminates additional labeling steps while saving time, reducing labor costs, and improving operational efficiency.
