Deep Dive – Breakthrough! Direct-to-Bottle Printing and Embossing
Special Guest: Brad Canfield, LSINC
Until recently, if you wanted to create Clear Emboss patterns and designs on glass bottles, you had to spend about $50,000 for custom molds, with minimum orders of 70,000 units. Now, with cutting-edge digital technology, you can add superfine raised effects to nearly any material for a fraction of the cost, with minimum orders of…1!
Find out how when Brad Canfield, art engineer at LSINC, shows us the way digital UV inks make it possible for you and me to print not only on wine bottles, but also plastic, ceramics, coated metal, and more!
