Can You Screen Print Labels on Full Wine Bottles?
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.
One of the frequently asked questions we often get asked is whether we can screen print wine labels on full bottles.
The answer is NO and here’s why.
When screen printing, thermal-plastic inks are applied via squeegee and screens, which are then fired in a high temperature Lehr for at least 2-3 hours to permanently fuse paint to the glass.
Unlike screen printing, etching is a cold (and entirely handmade) process with no heat application required.
We take your label inspiration, be it your paper label designs, a cherished photo, or a piece of original art, and completely translate it to an etched format from scratch.
When working on full bottles, we never expose them to temperatures higher than 66°F, making the process ideal for finishing large format shiners in a way that feels incredibly intentional and special.
Each bottle is hand etched and hand painted in quantities as low as a single bottle or up to 10,000 bottles across every format size from 375ml to 27L.
We fondly refer to our etching artists as “the best art forgers in the business”, as each bottle is a one-of-a-kind work of art with slight variations across each bottle.
As one of the oldest and largest etching companies on the West Coast, our industry knowledge and expertise is unparalleled.
