Printed Glass Decorating Methods
There are many different industry techniques when it comes to decorating customized glasses. In order to provide custom beer glasses to your exact specification, Boelter employs every possible technique, including state of the art UV decorating equipment for improved vibrancy and color selection.
UV Cured Organic Ink
Our UV cured organic ink method offers a wide color palette, resulting in a glossy finish for your printed glassware. This process involves curing organic materials with UV light, allowing for vibrant, multi-color printing on custom pint glasses. While this method is dishwasher safe, it may be slightly less scratch-resistant than ceramic enamels, making it ideal for promotional branded glassware that looks fantastic and stands the test of time.
Non-Lead Enamel
For long-lasting, scratch-proof designs, non-lead enamel is an excellent choice. Using a thermoplastic (wax) carrier, multi-color applications can be made on your custom beer glass. These heavy metal-free inks bond mechanically to the glass surface, ensuring a dishwasher-safe, durable design. This method works especially well for branded glassware, offering high durability without sacrificing quality.
Decals
Decals are perfect for intricate designs or replicating logos on personalized pint glasses. The water slide decal process allows for the application of ceramic enamels and organic inks via special paper, rather than directly on the glass itself. Applied by hand, decals are a flexible solution for custom pint glasses and beer glasses in various shapes and sizes, adding a unique touch to your custom drinkware.
Nucleation
Looking to enhance the beer-drinking experience? Nucleation, through laser etching at the bottom of your custom beer glass, accelerates carbonation, helping build and retain the beer’s head for a fuller flavor. Not only does this improve taste, but having your logo engraved at the bottom of the glass is an effective branding strategy for beer glasses, providing a custom etched pint glass that stands out.
Full Frost Etching
For a frosted effect without the environmental impact of traditional acid etching, full frost etching uses an organic spray process to create a beautiful, customized design on your branded glassware. This process is perfect for those looking for an eco-friendly option with no compromise on quality or aesthetics.
