How to print branding, ingredients etc on glass/plastic cylindrical bottles

[Zain Miah]

Does anyone know how you can print branding, nutritional information and ingredients on glass bottles or any cylindrical clear bottles?
I asked google and chatgpt but struggling to see how its done on a mass scale rather than just a "DIY at home type tutorial"
To be clear it wouldn't be sticking labels on but rather printing ink onto the actual bottles as to not ruin the colour and design of the bottle.
Thanks everyone!

In this case, you have to hire a custom bottle manufacturer, one that offers such a service. I don't see many bottles like this as almost all bottles I buy are stick labeled.

Thanks MJ, I'll look more into this

You can get a high class result by using Shrink Sleeve Wraps. Here is a extract from my book Exploit the Power of Psychology Perceptions and Emotions:
" These are tubular plastic labels that after printing are slipped into place over a container, usually a bottle, whether glass or plastic, and by the use of hot air they are shrunk to tightly fit the container.
They will often look as though the bottle has been printed all around. They maximize the printable space on your product allowing for more opportunities to get your sales message across.
The printed message is very durable even in places such as showers. The printing is on the inside of the label, not the outside, so it can’t be damaged in transport or handling."

They can be produced in clear plastic, so if your product inside the bottle looks attractive it could be
a good way to attract customers.

Wow just took a look on youtube, these are incredible, didn't even know it worked like that. My one concern is that since the brand I'm trying to build will have a premium look, the plastic clear wrap shine may take away from it. I'm going to have to test it against traditional ink printing directly onto the plastic.
Thanks a lot walter I'll be purchasing your books when I can they sound very useful especially after that extract

Thanks a lot man! It makes sense now I've seen it visually, I'm hoping these kinds of places can print the ingredients and nutritional info too for a good price.

Look up "pad printing".

Look up "pad printing".

As a general rule pad printing,, also known as Tampo Printing will be more economical than screen printing. It is very versatile and can print on almost any surface, but depending on the size of your container and label they might have diffculty with small print such as nutritional information and ingredients.
