Screen Printing

screen-print Plastic Container Printers can decorate round, flat and flat-oval bottles, and offer multi-pass printing of several colours, using UV printing technology. Silkscreen offers bright, firm and metallic colours for striking designs.

Printing wrap around images on plastic bottles is a fairly specialised process due to the flexibility of the material used. Our screen printing machines are equipped with inflation systems to inject air into the bottles, giving them the rigidity necessary for the screen printing process. Pre-treatment is necessary in the form of flaming for the ink to adhere to these plastic materials, and multi-colour printing requires registration of the image. Custom tooling is therefore required for each bottle size and shape to engage the registration feature at the bottom of the bottles.

Over the years we have invested in high speed, automated, multi-colour machinery and have our own in house tooling facilities available such as lathe and milling machines, by doing this we have taken the printing quality to a higher level that exceeds our competitors. So whether it is designing artwork or processing film positives, silk screen preparation, machining tools, colour matching, or printing four colour logos, it is all done in house. Plastic Container Printers will make sure you end up with the highest quality print. Using automatic screen printing machines, we have the ability to print both short and long runs on cylindrical, oval and flat plastic bottles and jars.
