Colours

Any colour within reason can be applied to a glass bottle. As a standard we try and limit ourselves to five types. Round items can be printed on coloured or clear glass. Printing

All colours are fired onto the glass at 180 degrees centigrade but are not dishwasher proof. The colours will scratch off where inadequate packing is applied. Additional protection can be applied by inserting in a box or wrapper or the addition of paper labels at points where rubbing can take place.

As the colours are slow to down load follow the relevant type for a complete range of colours. Bespoke colours can be undertaken and generally do not cost anymore.

Samples are always available to help you check the colours with your product inside. Remember the coloured contents will alter the glass colour. e.g  Yellow liquid in a Blue glass will take on a green tinge.

Coloured Items are generally produced on placing of Order and delivery is dependant upon work load and time of the year. Check the Store for approximate delivery time or ring for information as small amounts maybe available Ex Stock.

Chakra Colours.  Many people choose the following as being fairly close.

 

Transparent Gloss Colours -

These are vibrant colours in a gloss finish and are reasonably hard. For a colour go to Transparent

 

Translucent Matt Colours -

These are vibrant colours in a Matt Etch  finish and are soft and easily scratched. Not ideal where no protection can beapplied until they reach end user. For a colour go to Translucent

 

Translucent Semi-Matt Colours- 

These are a similar range to the Mattc olours but with a 50% addition of the equivalent transparent colour giving a more durable finish. For a colour go to Translucent

Opaque Colours -

We can offer Black, Cream andWhite both in Gloss and Etch. When applying the White Colour we generally have to apply two coats which tends to make the white take on a brownish effect. For this reason we recommend that a cream is chosen or a tint added. Shades can be produced by tinting White to give a range of colours to suit your needs.  

We would recommend that White on its own is not used.

Wedding Colours -

These are colours that we have produced for wedding themes. By colouring the inside of a glass you get a gloss finish and likewise to colour the outside you get a matt finish. All these colours are semi translucent. For a colour go to Wedding Colours

 

Please Note Colours do not look correct with different screen set ups and some colours like Blues show correct effect when seen through glass. And of course these are only are Standard Colours. Visit www.pantone.com for an international standard of colours.
