Special techniques have driven up the premium of custom glass bottles

In the customization of glass bottles, many customizers will add special processing techniques to the bottle bodies, which is also an important reason for the significant differences in customization prices. Ordinary glass bottles only need to complete basic shaping. However, glass bottles processed by special techniques can create a luxurious, high-end and artistic effect in appearance. They can also be customized into different styles such as warm, romantic and technological according to needs, which is in line with the packaging design concept of the brand. Therefore, the customization price of such glass bottles is much higher than that of ordinary products.

At present, common special processes for customizing glass bottles include painting, sandblasting, lamination, decal application, silk-screen printing, etc. The processing difficulty and the consumption of human and material resources of different processes vary significantly. For instance, the sandblasting process requires precise control of the coarseness and force of the sand material to create a uniform frosted texture, which demands a relatively high level of operational skills from the workers. The painting technique requires professional artists to hand-paint and create, which consumes more time and human resources. Although decal and silk-screen printing and other processes are relatively simple, they also require precisely matched molds and printing equipment, and the cost of investment will be higher than that of glass bottles without any processing techniques.

The complexity of the process directly determines the processing cost. The higher the difficulty and the more manpower and time it consumes, the more obvious the customized premium of the glass bottle will be. When choosing special processes, the customizer needs to take into account their own brand positioning and budget. It is not the case that the more complex the process, the better. Only processes that meet the packaging requirements of the product can achieve a balance between cost performance and design sense.
