Introducing Our New Durable Colour Printing on Glassware: Perfect for Personalised Gifts, Weddings, and Pubs

 

We're absolutely buzzing to share something we've been working on behind the scenes for ages – durable colour printing on glassware! After years of R&D (and yes, quite a few "back to the drawing board" moments), we've cracked it. We can now print stunning, full-colour designs directly onto glasses, wine bottles, decanters, and pretty much any piece of glassware you can think of.

And when we say durable, we mean it. These aren't your typical prints that fade after a few washes. We're talking about personalised glassware that'll still look brilliant after hundreds of trips through the dishwasher.

The Journey to Perfect Glass Printing

Let's be honest – this wasn't easy. Glass printing has always been one of those "sounds simple but is actually quite tricky" challenges. We spent countless hours testing different inks, curing processes, and application methods. There were definitely moments when we wondered if we'd bitten off more than we could chew!

But here's the thing about us – we're a bit stubborn when it comes to quality. We knew there had to be a way to create printed wine bottles and branded glass gifts that wouldn't just look amazing on day one, but would stay looking amazing for years to come.

Our breakthrough came when we perfected our UV ceramic ink printing process. This isn't just slapping some paint on glass and hoping for the best. We're using ultra-fine ceramic particles that bond permanently with the glass surface. The whole process happens in one smooth operation – printing and curing simultaneously – which means consistent, professional results every single time.

What Makes Our Glass Printing Special?

Durability That Actually Works

We've all seen those promotional glasses that look fantastic when they arrive, then start peeling and fading after a few uses. Not happening here. Our printing process creates designs that are:

• Dishwasher safe (seriously, we've tested this extensively)
• Scratch resistant
• Weather resistant for outdoor use
• Fade resistant even with constant handling

Full-Colour Precision

Gone are the days of being limited to single colours or simple designs. Our process delivers vibrant, full-colour artwork with incredible detail. Whether you want intricate wedding monograms, detailed pub logos, or complex brand designs for distillery bottles, we've got you covered.

Seamless Application on Any Shape

One of the trickiest parts of glass printing has always been dealing with curved surfaces. Wine bottles, round glasses, oddly-shaped decanters – they all presented their own challenges. Our digital printing method eliminates visible seams, even on cylindrical items, so your design flows beautifully around the entire piece.

Perfect Applications for Every Occasion

Wedding Favours That Actually Get Kept

Let's face it – most wedding favours end up forgotten in a drawer or, worse, in the bin. But personalised glassware? That's something guests will actually use and treasure. Imagine champagne flutes with the happy couple's names and wedding date, or wine glasses featuring a special message from the bride and groom.

We can print on everything from elegant champagne flutes to rustic mason jars, depending on your wedding style. And because the printing is so durable, these become genuine keepsakes that'll remind guests of your special day every time they raise a toast.

Custom Pub Glasses That Build Your Brand

Custom pub glasses are brilliant for building brand loyalty and creating that authentic pub atmosphere. We're not just talking about a logo slapped on the side – we can create designs that wrap around the entire glass, incorporate your colour scheme, and even include special messaging or seasonal themes.

The durability factor is huge here. Pub glassware takes a beating – constant washing, busy bar service, the occasional dropped glass (we've all been there). Our printing process means your branding stays sharp and professional, no matter how busy your establishment gets.

Distillery Bottles and Decanter Sets

For distilleries, presentation is everything. Your bottle is your brand ambassador, sitting on shelves and in people's homes long after the purchase. Our printed wine bottles and decanter printing creates that premium, craft feel that customers associate with quality spirits.

We can print directly onto glass bottles of any shape or size, creating custom labels that are literally part of the bottle. No more worrying about label adhesion or peeling – the design becomes permanent part of the packaging.

Corporate and Promotional Gifts

Branded glass gifts make fantastic corporate presents or promotional items. Think branded beer glasses for brewery partnerships, custom wine glasses for corporate events, or personalised whisky glasses for client gifts. These items have serious staying power – unlike a branded pen that might get lost, a quality glass gets used regularly and keeps your brand visible.

Our In-House Advantage

Here's what we love about this new service – we handle absolutely everything in-house. From the initial design consultation right through to the finished product, it all happens under our roof. This means:

Quick Turnaround Times No waiting weeks for samples to come back from external suppliers. We can show you proofs, make adjustments, and get your order into production much faster.

Quality Control at Every Step When everything happens in-house, we can maintain our quality standards throughout the entire process. Every piece gets checked before it leaves our workshop.

Custom Design Support Not sure how your logo will look on a curved wine bottle? No worries – our design team can work with you to create artwork that's perfectly optimised for glass printing. We'll make sure your design looks brilliant and reads clearly, regardless of the glass shape.

Flexible Order Quantities Whether you need 20 glasses for a intimate wedding or 2000 branded pint glasses for your pub chain, we can accommodate orders of all sizes.

Getting Started with Glass Printing

The beauty of this service is its versatility. We've worked with:

• Event planners creating memorable wedding favours
• Pub owners building their brand identity
• Distillery owners launching new products
• Corporate event managers looking for quality gifts
• Restaurant owners wanting custom drinkware

If you're thinking this sounds perfect for your business or upcoming event, you're probably right! The applications are pretty much endless.

What We Need From You

Getting started is straightforward. Send us your logo, design ideas, or even just a rough sketch of what you have in mind. Let us know what type of glassware you're thinking about and roughly how many pieces you need. We'll work with you to refine the design and create samples so you can see exactly how the finished product will look.

Why Choose Durable Glass Printing?

In a world full of disposable promotional items and forgettable freebies, personalised glassware stands out. It's practical, it's memorable, and when done right, it becomes something people genuinely value and use.

Our years of R&D weren't just about creating another printing service – they were about solving real problems. How do you create promotional items that don't end up as waste? How do you make wedding favours that guests actually keep? How do you build brand recognition that lasts?

Durable glass printing answers all these questions. It's sustainable because the items last for years. It's effective because people use glasses regularly. And it's memorable because every time someone reaches for that glass, they see your message, your brand, or remember your special day.
