Specs & tips
Printing our bottles takes precision work. Temperature differences during the production process and the conical shape of the bottle have a major effect on the printing process. Good artwork is essential for this. The better the artwork, the better the result. We are ready to help make this process run smoothly and quickly for you.
Before the bottle goes into production, you will receive a design with all the relevant information in a package. Production starts with your written approval.
