Custom Logo Printing

Five decoration methods. One factory floor.

We run every common drinkware decoration process in-house โ€” silkscreen, laser engraving, UV digital print, heat transfer and debossing. That means tighter quality control, no middleman, no surprises on reorders.

Method Comparison

Pick the right print for the right bottle.

Decoration is half craft, half engineering. The wrong method for the wrong substrate dulls the logo, peels in a dishwasher, or โ€” worst of all โ€” fails on the second reorder. Here is what each method is actually good for.

Silkscreen Printing

The workhorse of B2B drinkware decoration. Solid-color logos baked onto the bottle surface with industrial ink. Crisp, dishwasher-safe, and extremely cost-effective at volume.

Colors up to 6 spotMOQ 500Best for stainless, plastic
Laser engraved logo on brushed stainless steel

Laser Engraving

Permanent metal etch. The premium choice for stainless thermoses where your brand is part of the product. Never fades, never peels. Looks identical in five years.

Colors tonal onlyMOQ 500Best for stainless
Full-color UV printed logo on a matte white tumbler

UV Digital Print

Photo-realistic full color. Handles gradients, photography, and CMYK artwork that silkscreen cannot reproduce. No setup fees per color, ideal for D2C brand launches.

Colors full CMYKMOQ 500Best for tumblers, flat surfaces
Wrap-around heat transfer pattern on a stainless bottle

Heat Transfer & Sublimation

360-degree full-wrap decoration. Rich color depth, no seam visible. Works on stainless, plastic, and glass. The choice when your artwork wraps the whole bottle.

Color Matching

Pantone-matched, batch to batch.

Send a Pantone code, a hex value, or a physical sample. Our color lab matches and locks in the formula before mass production starts. We retain calibrated samples on file so your reorder six months from now matches your first run.

  • Pantone Solid CoatedMost common โ€” for spot-color silkscreen and powder coat.
  • Pantone Process / CMYKFor UV digital and sublimation print.
  • Custom RAL / NCSFor powder coat finishes matching brand collateral.
  • Physical Sample MatchingSend a fabric swatch, packaging chip, or competitor product.
