We offer a wide range of decorative painting techniques to help you elevate the look and feel of your custom candle jars. Popular options include matte and gloss coatings, soft-touch finishes, glass frosting, metallic paints (gold, copper, chrome), and specialty textures like silk, granite, or dichroic effects. Each finish can help create a specific brand mood—from high-end and modern to earthy and artisanal. Whether you want a bold statement or a subtle, sophisticated feel, our team will guide you toward the best combination of coating and color to match your vision.

Yes—you can absolutely combine glass painting with screen printing on glass to create multi-dimensional, branded packaging. This approach allows you to choose a base color or texture for your vessel (like a matte black or frosted silver), and then layer your logo or artwork over it using Pantone-matched screen printing. It’s one of the most popular options for private label candles, decorated glass bottles, and other custom packaging projects where both color and branding need to stand out. Our team will help ensure the finishes work together both visually and functionally.

Yes—we offer custom paint color matching to help ensure your vessels align with your brand identity. Using Pantone references or physical samples, we’ll match your desired hue as closely as possible within the context of glass and coating application. Whether you’re decorating glass candle jars, perfume bottles, or cosmetic containers, we account for factors like gloss level, glass transparency, and curing impact. Color-matched finishes are available across matte, gloss, metallic, and frosted effects.

For decorated glass bottles that require maximum durability—such as those used for candles, spirits, or perfumes—we recommend UV-cured decorative coatings. These finishes offer excellent resistance to scratches, heat, and humidity, while retaining color vibrancy over time. Matte and gloss coatings are particularly strong, and metallic paints also offer long-lasting shine and adhesion. For glass used in moisture-rich environments or high-handling products, we always recommend a scratch-resistant screen printed logo combined with a baked-on decorative base.

Yes—we can paint either the inside, the outside, or both surfaces of the glass vessel, depending on your design goals. Inside painting creates a clean, elegant appearance with more light diffusion, while outside decorative painting offers broader design flexibility and texture. Combining both creates layered visual depth, especially when paired with screen printing or metallic coatings. This technique is often used on custom candle jars and decorative glass vases to enhance visual interest and elevate brand identity.

We offer specific food-safe decorative coatings that are designed to comply with regulatory standards for indirect food and beverage contact. For example, if you’re producing custom logo beer glasses, whiskey glasses, or custom wine glasses with logos, we can use durable, non-toxic paints approved for exterior decoration. While paint should never be applied to surfaces that directly contact food or beverages (like the inside of a cup or the rim), our finishes are safe and appropriate for the outside of most branded glassware intended for casual or promotional use.

Our typical lead time for painted glass bottle decoration is 4–6 weeks from the time of final artwork approval and receipt of materials. This timeline can vary slightly based on complexity, volume, and the number of finishes involved. If your project is part of a Quick Ship Program or tied to a seasonal launch, we recommend reaching out early to confirm scheduling. We also offer guidance on project timelines that align with candle fulfillment, box kitting, and label application services to keep everything moving smoothly.

Yes! One of our core specialties is applying custom logos to glass bottles using high-quality screen printing, metallic inks, or layered decorative painting techniques. Whether you’re branding private label candles, cosmetic jars, or custom wine glasses, we’ll match your logo’s color, style, and placement with precision. Our in-house team can review your artwork and recommend the best printing or painting method for the surface, shape, and size of your bottle.

While JAFE specializes in larger-scale custom decorating projects, we understand that not every order starts big. That’s why we’ve partnered with trusted distributors who carry JAFE-painted glassware in smaller quantities. It’s a great way to access our quality glass decoration while you build your brand.

Yes! Many businesses choose to test the market with smaller runs before moving into large-scale custom decoration. Through our distribution partners, you can order ready-to-ship decorated glassware without the full MOQ, then come to JAFE for your custom glass decorating when you’re ready to scale.
