Screen Printing

Cutting edge
process meets
experience.
Screen printing on bottles, also known as applied color labeling or ACL, is a delicate process that we’ve been perfecting for over twenty years. Utilizing the bottle as a canvas, we can work with standard colors and precious metals to create a label that is permanently fused to the glass. We also have the ability to print a 360° label, pushing the boundaries of traditional wine and spirits packaging. With print capabilities from 250 cases to 100,000 cases and bottle sizes from 50ml to 3L, screen printing is cost competitive with all other labeling applications, yet sets your brand apart.

Our screen printing process

Once you begin a project with us, you’re assigned a dedicated Account Manager and a Production Artist who will oversee your project from start to finish, typically three to four months depending on complexity. We take on order logistics, including interfacing with your glass supplier to make sure all pieces come together on time.
02

Custom artwork development

Whether we’re working alongside your designer, creating new artwork or reimagining art from an existing label, we’ll go through one to several art reviews before creating specific screen print files. The majority of your project’s duration is spent in this stage, ensuring we take the time so that all is perfected before your print date.
03

Perfected production & unparalleled quality

Once artwork is approved and glass arrives, our Italian machines apply each individual color or precious metal layer of ceramic paint directly onto the bottle’s surface. They’re then fired in a Lehr at temperatures up to 1180°F, permanently fusing the design onto the glass. The entire process, from set up to registration, is supervised by experienced team members for start-to-finish quality control.
04

Hidden benefits of screen printing

Once your project is complete, we ship your printed bottles to you, already decorated. That means your wine team only needs to focus on filling, corking and foiling on the bottling day. Not only are your labels now waterproof, scuff-proof, cellar-proof, and tear-proof, they are fully recyclable pieces of glass with no use of paper or glue.

Bergin's screen printing capabilities

Utilizing the entire bottle as a canvas is not only a unique branding opportunity, but our precise processes allow us to integrate the seam within the design for a completely seamless look.
Blending color is both a science and an art. We have the capability to print up to seven colors, create custom colors, and strive to color-match to the best of our ability. Additionally, we can create custom mixes to achieve specific textures or effects.
Precious metal inks, such as copper, gold, and platinum, offer a simple and refined way to achieve a high-end feel that truly represents the quality of the product inside.
