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 any more.

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.

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 be applied until they reach end user. For a colour go to Translucent

 

Translucent Semi-Matt Colours - 

These are a similar range to the Matt colours 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 and White 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 recomend 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.

 

 

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.
