Metallics

By multi-layer coating, metallic effects inside the glass can be combined with a different exterior colour.
Your individual printing can be applied on the glass.
Colour-It-Yourself Decoration
Colour-it-yourself decors inspire the consumer to participate in the creative process. Freely designed motifs can be coloured or lettered with customary water-soluble coloured pencils. The colouring can be washed off, the basic decoration remains and can be coloured again.
Rhinestone (Strass) Decoration
STRASS is applied to the surface of the item and bonded with a special adhesive.
Classic Silk-Screen Printing
Classic screen printing with inorganic inks. Finest glass particles / crystals blended with ink pigments are applied to the surface of the glass through the screen mesh. During a kiln firing process of several hours at around 600°C, the colours merge with the glass surface or with the glaze of a ceramic object. If true-colour precious metal inks are used in the decoration process, alloys up to 21 carat are employed, which gives the decorated object a high-quality glossy appearance.
Individualiziation
Personalized branded glassware gives the crucial added value - attractively and effectively. At the same time the relation between brand and customer will be improved as well as the readyness to rebuy the brand.
Transparent-Effect Decoration
Individual decoration elements are printed onto frosted glasses in special inks which create a transparent effect.
Bottom Colouring
Full-coverage printing of the glass base gives the glass a distinctive touch of colour.
