Printing & Marking
Custom Decoration Programmes
Most premium packs use several decoration techniques together — a coated body, a screen-printed mark and a hot-stamped logo, for example. Sequencing matters, because each process affects the surface for the next one.
Why brands use it
- One supplier accountable for the finished appearance
- Correct process order preventing rework
- A single approved standard sample for the whole pack
Process
- 01Decoration planTechniques and their sequence mapped against the artwork.
- 02Sample buildFull decoration applied to a sample set for approval.
- 03Standard retentionApproved sample retained as the production reference.
- 04In-line controlEach stage inspected before the next is applied.
Available materials
Typical applications
- Prestige serum bottles
- Fragrance sets
- Limited editions
- Full range roll-outs
MOQ considerations
Set-up accumulates with each technique, so multi-process packs carry a higher minimum than a single-decoration item.
Lead time
Sample sets 12–20 days; production 30–50 days depending on the sequence.
