Boli Glass can make any decoration on the surface of the glass bottle,including spray color, frosting, decal, plating, and more.The same glass bottle with different decorations will become two completely different glass bottles.
DECALS
It’s also called “transfer”, representing the image that is printed separately and then removed from its backing paper to be applied to the final product. This unique manufacturing process uses special pigments called ceramic oxides that, when fired in a kiln (580º - 620º Celsius), permanently bond with the substrate (base item).
SCREEN PRINTING
Printing either enamels, inks or precious metals, one color after another, thru stencils or screens onto a rotating glass until the design is totally reproduced. A heat treatment vitrifies or fixes the design onto the glass – at around 600 Celsius degrees for enamels or 150 Celsius degrees for inks.
SPRAY COLOR
For colored effects containers are sprayed with either liquid or powder (resin and dyes). Lacquering can be total, partial or with a fade out effect also offering the choice of: matt, glossy, opaque, translucent, soft touch, metallic… The palette of hues and colors is wide reaching; imagination is the only limit…
FROSTING
The bottles are dipped in an acid base solution which superficially attacks the glass surface creating a matt and frosted aspect. Acid etching can be either an all over effect or just partially frosted areas can be incorporated into a design. This is achieved by first masking the transparent area.
ELECTROPLATE
This process is a true mirror metallized and high gloss effect that creates an eye-catching decoration that captures attention and accentuate the product’s distinctiveness. Whether you want your bottle to be fully or partially metallized, we can customize it according to your requirements and create a packaging that stands out.
