Screen printing on glass bottles involves applying ink directly to the glass surface through a custom mesh stencil, also known as a screen. At JAFE, we use high-precision screen printing equipment to ensure clean, accurate image transfer. Once printed, the ink is UV-cured—a fast, efficient process that hardens the ink instantly under ultraviolet light for a durable, scratch-resistant finish. This technique is ideal for creating long-lasting branding on custom candle jars, perfume bottles, cosmetic containers, and decorated drinkware. We work with solid Pantone-matched colors, and each design is reviewed to ensure it aligns with your glass shape and decoration goals.

Yes—for many brands, screen printing on glass is a superior option compared to adhesive labels. It’s more permanent, more durable, and delivers a polished, high-end appearance that reinforces product quality. Unlike labels, which can peel, wrinkle, or fade over time, UV-cured screen prints are scratch-resistant and designed to last through regular handling, shipping, and display. This makes it an excellent solution for branded glassware, skincare bottles, private label candles, and custom wine glasses, especially when visual impact and long-term performance are priorities.

Absolutely! We specialize in custom logo beer glasses, custom wine glasses, and other branded glassware used for breweries, wineries, events, and corporate gifting. You can choose from a range of ink colors—each UV-cured for maximum durability—and apply your logo to everything from custom shot glasses to stemless wine glasses. We’ll help you select the right font, color, and layout to reflect your brand identity, and our screen printing process ensures your design stands up to everyday use, even in dishwasher-safe applications.

We can screen print on most glass packaging and drinkware, including:

• Glass candle jars (for luxury or private label collections)

• Perfume bottles and fragrance vessels

• Cosmetic jars and skincare bottles

• Custom shot glasses and drinkware

• Custom stemless wine glasses and beer pints

Whether you’re building a private label candle brand or launching decorated perfume bottles for retail, our screen printing process gives your product a premium, branded finish.

Not at all. We’re happy to provide screen printing on customer-supplied glass as well as vessels from our in-house inventory. If you already have your own glassware, you can ship it to us for decoration. If you’re still exploring options, we offer a curated selection of candle jars, perfume bottles, and cosmetic containers—all screen-print friendly. You can download our catalog to view our available vessels or reach out to our team to discuss sourcing.

Yes—you can absolutely combine screen printing on glass with other decorative techniques like frosted glass, matte coatings, or full-surface decorative painting. This combination allows you to create beautiful layering effects: a frosted jar with a printed logo, a matte black finish with metallic ink, or a gloss-painted vessel with a bold, opaque design. It’s especially popular for luxury candle jars, cosmetic containers, and decorated bottles that need to stand out on shelves. All inks are UV-cured to bond cleanly over specialty coatings for a polished, professional look.

Yes! We offer multi-color screen printing on glass containers, supporting up to three solid Pantone-matched colors per design. Each color is printed in its own layer and UV-cured for durability and clarity. This technique is ideal for projects that include branding plus design elements—like decorated perfume bottles, branded drinkware, or glass bottle decorations with logos, illustrations, or layering effects. Our prepress team reviews your artwork to ensure proper registration and color separation, especially for cylindrical or tapered vessels.

Our screen printing process is designed to bond well with a wide variety of surface finishes. This includes frosted glass, matte and gloss decorative painting, metallic coatings, and even specialty textures like granite or soft-touch silk effects. The key is proper ink adhesion—and our UV-cured inks are formulated to grip effectively across most coated and textured surfaces. Whether you’re applying your logo to a custom candle jar or branding a cosmetic spray bottle, we’ll guide you toward the right finish and ink combination for a lasting impression.

To ensure clean, accurate printing—especially on curved surfaces like glass candle jars, custom wine glasses, or cosmetic bottles—we require supplying vector artwork files. This includes formats such as .AI (Adobe Illustrator), .EPS, or high-resolution, editable PDFs. These formats allow us to separate color layers, scale your design without pixelation, and set up precise registration for screen print on glass. If you need help converting your logo or artwork into a print-ready format, we offer design prep assistance as part of our process.

Lead times for screen printed glass orders typically range from 4–6 weeks after artwork approval and receipt of materials. More complex projects—such as those combining glass painting and screen printing on glass bottles—may require additional time depending on your finishes and volume. We always recommend planning ahead for seasonal launches or promotional campaigns, but if you’re on a tight timeline, ask us about rush production availability (additional fees apply). Our in-house fulfillment model helps reduce delays and streamline the process.

Yes—we specialize in screen printing on curved glass bottles, including cylindrical, oval, and gently tapered shapes. Common examples include serum bottles, cosmetic spray bottles, custom beer glasses, and stemless wine glasses. During pre-production, we assess your bottle’s shape and recommend layout adjustments to minimize distortion and ensure clean, consistent branding. While heavily contoured bottles may require alternate decoration methods, most rounded and smooth surfaces are ideal for high-quality UV-cured screen printing.
