Common Logo Printing Methods from Water Bottle Manufacturer

1. Silk Screen Printing

Ink is pushed through a mesh stencil (screen) directly onto the bottle surface. Each color requires a separate screen.

  • Advantages: Cost-effective for large orders, wide color choices, great for simple logos.

  • Limitations: Not suitable for detailed or gradient designs; durability is lower compared to engraving.

2. Laser Engraving

A high-precision laser beam etches the logo onto the stainless steel surface by removing a thin layer of material.

  • Advantages: Extremely durable, permanent, resistant to scratches and fading; gives a premium metallic finish.

  • Limitations: Limited to single-color effect (no gradients); higher cost compared to screen printing.

3. Heat Transfer Printing

A pre-printed film with the logo design is transferred to the bottle surface using heat and pressure.

  • Advantages: Suitable for multi-color, gradient, and complex patterns; smooth finish with vibrant results.

  • Limitations: Higher production cost; not as durable as engraving for long-term heavy use.

4. UV Printing

UV light cures ink directly onto the surface of the bottle, enabling full-color digital printing.

  • Advantages: Ideal for small batches, photographic detail, and gradient designs; no setup cost for screens or molds.

  • Limitations: Less durable than engraving, may fade after long exposure to friction or chemicals.

5. Embossing & Debossing (Molded Logo)

The logo is integrated into the bottle mold itself, creating a raised (embossed) or recessed (debossed) effect.

  • Advantages: Permanent, unique texture, premium brand identity.

  • Limitations: High mold cost, suitable only for bulk orders with stable designs.

  • Support multiple logo engraving and printing technologies.

  • Combine printing with diverse surface treatments (powder coating, spray painting, polishing) to enhance the final effect.
