Nowadays, to customize stainless steel water bottles is already becoming a fantastic way to leave a lasting impact, create meaningful connections, and showcase your brand in a positive light. By using screen printing, pad printing, laser engraving, sublimation printing, hydrographic printing, or UV printing for customization, enhance your bottle with unique fonts and patterns as well as for longevity and aesthetics.
Today we will introduce the main methods of customization of double walled stainless steel bottle.
1.Screen Printing
Also known as silkscreen printing, the artwork can be covered all around the stainless steel water bottle. This form of printing yields impressive results for one or two colour artwork. With 35 degree wrap capability, it makes the maximum use of available print space on the bottle.
2. Pad Printing
This type of printing is ideal for detailed logos and artworks with tight registration requirements. Here, this printing is widely used for the bottle bottom logo with clear and tiny logo effects.
3. Laser Marking
Done on-demand, it offers more beautiful and durable marking on the bottle. There are majorly 3 types of laser marking. In Laser engraving, the laser is input on the surface to form an engraved image and a deep mark and not an etching on the surface. This process does not transmit ink or any other substance onto the surface. Laser annealing involves a permanent laser marking used to create the design on the surface of stainless steel insulated bottles. It is a non-contact printing method that leaves its impression on the SS insulated bottles’ surface. Finally, the laser paint method is a removal method involving a paint layer being removed from a surface without damaging the bottle’s surface
4. Sublimation Printing
Here, a design is transferred on the stainless steel surface using ink and heat. Sublimation printing uses the heat transfer and is mainly applied to the labelling industry. It can easily fit any form of the chosen artwork. Even for the complex multi-colour artwork with gradations, heat transfer or decals are the best choices. Once the ink is sprayed in a transfer film or the decal, the graphic is thermally and permanently stuck to the bottle’s surface.
5.Hydrographic Printing
Hydrographic Printing, also known as Water Transfer Printing, allows patterns and designs to be applied to any shaped objects. Any object that can retain a base coat and be safely submerged in water can be painted using this technology. The insulated water bottle can be customized in different colours and pattern in the stainless steel water bottle industry.
6.UV LED printing
This type of printing is usually used for the artwork involving multi-colors. Here, the ink is directly applied to an object which is then instantly cured by UV light. As there is no solvent to evaporate, there is no loss of coating thickness to the bottles. With no loss of volume and no environmental pollutants, this printing method for water bottle maintains the highest standard of product safety and initiates environmental safety production. The technology only uses food safety acrylic paint and non-toxic ink without heavy metal element phthalates and VOC in all kinds of printing products.
