We ensure accurate reproduction of text or logo on different sides and sections in different types of glass-bottles through silk (screen) screen or pad printing in any colour as per the Pantone Shade Card. We can provide multiple options in printing finish (matte, gloss, precious metal) and ink types (ceramic, UV, organic).
Our printing infrastructure consists of a mix of automatic lines from KBA-Kammann (Germany), Dubuit (France), and Ardenghi (Italy) and semi-automatic lines from Cerve and Dubuit (France) which are integrated with annealing lehrs for heat curing and UV machines for UV printing curing. We also have latest automated multi-function 4-Colour screen-printing machine, automated multi-function machine with a combination of 2-Colour screen-printing cum HFS, and 3D automated multi-function printing machine. Our silk-screen lab is installed and commissioned by KBA-Kammann (Germany). We have a dedicated In-house machine workshop, screen lab, and ink lab. Our printing inks are sourced from Europe (Ferro, Limoges, and Hereaus).
