Thermos bottles printed with logo

How are bottles and cups durably printed or engraved?

Would you like to print bottles with logo for your relations or clients? There are several techniques and ways in which a water bottle, thermo bottle or mug can be personalized. Think of pad printing, screen printing and laser engraving. In this blog we list all our printing techniques.

Sustainable printing

We want to offer you the perfect personalized gift where quality and durability are paramount. Because we have several different printing techniques at our disposal, we can always guarantee the best result per material. In screen and transfer printing, we do not throw away ink, but reuse it for new pantone colors. We plan to implement a full recycling system of our ink for all our printing techniques. By reusing ink or using inkless printing techniques, we greatly reduce our overall waste. We are focusing on reducing misprints and print quality claims as a percentage of our total number of products printed.

Pad printing

This involves applying your logo to the product with a rubber stamp (the tampon). Each stamp has a different color. Thus, a logo with four colors is printed by four different stamps. Practically any shape can be printed with the tampon. However, the stamp is not very large, so mainly small printing areas are printed. This printing technique is often used for small surfaces on thermos cups or drinking bottle caps.

Digital printing

With digital printing, your files are converted directly to print. Digital printing is often done in full color and is especially inexpensive for small runs because there are no start-up costs. Flask uses this technique for lunch bags, white drinking bottles and lunch boxes.

Laser engraving

Laser engraving is a technique in which the design is engraved into the material. This is done using a computer-controlled laser that changes the color of the surface of the material. The final result depends on the type of surface, the strength of the laser beam and the laser machine itself. A laser engraving always has a luxurious look, making the printing technique popular for stainless steel and bamboo cups.

Most companies choose 1 color printing or laser engraving because it is cheaper but also because it is more stylish. A full color logo is nice to see from the giver (company) but the recipient who will use the bottle on a daily basis generally likes it better with a modest stylish print on his bottle.
