Four Ways to Put Your Logo on a Bottle

Your artwork, body surface and intended use help decide the logo method. Here are the four methods we use, with a sample and proof to help you choose the finish for your programme.

We run laser, silk-screen, UV and heat-transfer in-house — each suits a different job.

The four methods at a glance

Method	Look	Colours	Finish to confirm	Best for
Laser engraving	Etched, premium, no ink	Tone-on-tone (no colour)	Etched single-tone mark	Sport & outdoor, premium gifts
Silk-screen	Solid, crisp	1–3 spot colours	Ink and care information	Low-cost bulk, simple logos
UV digital	Photographic, full-colour	Full CMYK	Surface and care information	Detailed art, gradients, photos
Heat transfer	Full-wrap, edge-to-edge	Full colour, 360°	Film and care information	Wraparound artwork on a compatible surface

Choose the finish with a sample

Choose the decoration around the artwork, product surface and intended use. A printed sample helps you confirm the look and care guidance before the bulk run.

Laser makes an etched single-tone mark on suitable metal. Silk screen, UV and heat transfer offer different colour and artwork options. We can help choose the method and show the finish on a sample.

Laser gives a single-tone mark, while silk screen adds brand colours. The right choice depends on the look you want and the selected surface; we can show both finishes on suitable models.

UV print: plan for the colour proof

UV digital can reproduce gradients, photographs and detailed artwork on compatible surfaces. Confirm the colour and placement on a proof and sample, with time allowed for any adjustments before production.

Allow time for the colour proof while the order is being planned. Once you approve it, we keep that reference with the artwork for production and later reorders.

Heat transfer — including on matte

Heat transfer can create wraparound artwork. The film and base finish need to be matched, including on matte bodies. We can confirm a suitable combination on the sample before the bulk run.

One more thing: the finish matters too

Plan the packing alongside the surface finish. We can show individual boxes and insert options, then confirm the arrangement and carton counts for your chosen model.

Send the artwork and intended use, and we can help choose the logo method, prepare a proof and quote the product with its packing.

Frequently asked questions

How do artwork colours and detail affect the logo method?▾

A simple one- or few-colour mark, detailed full-colour artwork and a single-tone engraved mark can call for different methods. Share the artwork and product surface so suitable options can be compared on a proof or sample.

When can laser engraving suit a bottle logo?▾

Engraving can create a single-tone mark on a compatible metal surface. The visible result depends on the chosen model and finish, so check the proposed position on a proof or sample.

When can screen printing suit drinkware artwork?▾

Screen printing can suit a small number of spot colours on a compatible surface. Share the artwork and selected model so the colours, print area and placement can be reviewed together.

Can UV printing reproduce detailed or full-colour artwork?▾

UV printing can be considered for detailed artwork on compatible models. Share the file and product surface, then review colour and placement on a proof or sample.

When can heat transfer suit a bottle design?▾

Heat transfer can be considered for wraparound artwork on a compatible body. The film and exterior finish need to be reviewed together on the chosen model and sample.

What should I compare before choosing a logo method?▾

Compare the artwork detail, number of colours, body surface, finish and intended logo area. A proof or sample helps you review the combined result for the selected model.
