Screen printing on bottles is a method of applying an ink via a screen, directly onto the packaging. Unlike traditional labeling, there is no label at all; the design is printed directly onto the bottle's surface.
How Bottle Screen Printing Works
The process involves a printer applying a mesh pattern to the bottle. Ink is then pumped through the openings in this mesh pattern, effectively transferring the desired design directly onto the bottle's surface to produce the final image.
Key Characteristics
- Direct Application: The ink is applied straight onto the bottle.
- No Label Used: The design serves as the primary decoration, replacing adhesive labels.
- Utilizes a Screen/Mesh: A patterned mesh controls where the ink is applied.
Alternative Term
This method of printing on bottles is also widely known as silk screening.
