China Frosted glass bottle with screen printing supplier

Screen Printing is the process of using a squeegee to force ink through a mesh-based stencil/screen to apply ink onto a substrate, like bottles or jars. One color is printed at a time, so to produce a multi-colored image or design, several screens are used. Screen printing is also known as silk-screen, screen, serigraphy and serigraph printing.

Like hot foil & ink stamping, heat transferring is a dry printing process. Decals or transfers are made on multi-color silk screen or gravure machines. The images are printed on a clear carrier and rolled onto a fiber core. This roll is then mounted onto a hot stamping machine which is equipped with an attachment that enables the machine to sense a special mark on the image carrier and position the image over the part. It is then trapped under a heated die as in the hot stamp process and transferred onto the part. Multi-color images can be placed on a part in one pass, reducing the labor cost associated with multi-color printing. Because of the cost associated with making the transfers, this process is usually reserved for higher volume applications.
