The Durability of Print and Spray Coating

At The Glass Spraying & Print Company Ltd

When it comes to glass packaging, durability is not a nice-to-have. It is essential. Whether your bottles are heading into busy bars, retail shelves, dishwashers, or export crates, the finish needs to look as good months later as it did on day one. At Glass Spraying & Print Company, durability sits at the core of everything we do. From spray coating to screen printing, every process is engineered to protect your product and elevate your brand.

Why Durability Matters in Glass Decoration

Glass bottles and containers go through a lot. Handling, transport, filling lines, refrigeration, washing, and repeated customer use all put pressure on the surface finish. Poorly applied coatings can chip, fade, scratch, or peel, damaging both appearance and brand perception.

Durable print and coating ensure:

  • Long-term colour retention

  • Resistance to scratching and abrasion

  • Consistent quality across large production runs

  • A premium look that lasts throughout the product lifecycle

This is where professional application and quality control make the difference.

Spray Coating That Is Built to Last

Our spray coating process combines speed, precision, and resilience. With the ability to spray up to 60 bottles per minute across multiple lines, we never sacrifice durability for efficiency.

We use high-quality, water-based organic paints that bond effectively to glass while remaining fully recyclable. Once cured, the coating forms a robust layer designed to withstand handling, packing, and transport without compromising the finish.

Key durability benefits of our spray coating include:

  • Strong adhesion to the glass surface

  • Even coverage using 6-gun precision spraying

  • Reduced weak spots that lead to chipping

  • Consistent thickness for long-term wear

The result is a finish that looks premium and performs under pressure.

Screen Printing That Goes Beyond Surface Level

Screen printing offers exceptional durability when done correctly, and our processes are designed to maximise longevity.

Ceramic Inks for Maximum Resistance

Ceramic inks are burned directly onto the glass surface, creating a permanent bond. This makes them highly resistant to heat, abrasion, and repeated washing. They are ideal for products that demand long-term durability, including returnable bottles and high-use glassware.

Organic Inks with Impressive Lifespan

Our organic inks are dishwasher safe for up to 200 washes. That means your branding stays sharp and vibrant long after the product reaches the customer. For many brands, this offers the perfect balance between durability, flexibility, and finish.

Low-Temperature Curing Options

For more delicate glass or specialist products, we use innovative low-temperature curing techniques. This protects the integrity of both the glass and the print while still delivering excellent durability.

Oven Curing for Extra Protection

Post screen-printing, we oven-cure the glass to add an extra layer of protection. This process strengthens the bond between ink and glass, improving resistance to wear and environmental exposure.

Every bottle then passes through our full quality control system, where trained inspectors check for:

  • Adhesion strength

  • Consistency of colour and finish

  • Surface defects or imperfections

Only bottles that meet our strict standards leave the facility.

Designed for Real-World Use

Durability is not tested in theory. It is proven in real-world conditions. Our finishes are designed to perform in industries where bottles and containers face constant handling, from alcohol and cosmetics to candles and hospitality glassware.

By combining the right inks, curing methods, and application techniques, we ensure your product is ready for everyday use without compromising on aesthetics.

Durable, Sustainable, and Premium

Strong finishes do not have to come at the expense of sustainability. Our water-based paints, efficient spraying techniques, and reduced wastage processes ensure that durability and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

A durable finish means fewer re-runs, less waste, and a product that represents your brand properly from factory to final customer.

Built to Last, Designed to Impress

At Glass Spraying & Print Company, durability is engineered into every stage of the process. From spray coating to screen printing, curing to inspection, our focus is simple. Create finishes that last, look exceptional, and protect your brand.
