Printing techniques
VDGLASS is the ideal companion when it comes to interpreting your brand image and your customers’ expecations and helping you create or select bespoke, exclusive, unique glass forms with expertise and creativity.
At VDGLASSLAB, the creative workshop at Vetro Due, projects are born and grown from design to rendering, from shape to its branding, from pilot mould sample to mass production.
In addition, chosen glass forms can be personalised by a wide range of printing and decorating methods with the aim of creating a fitting vehicle of your drink’s character.
The synergy between design and production is fundamental for the creation of glasses both original and functional, appealing and cost-efficient, expression of a brand image and work tool for bartenders and professionals of the beverage world.

UV PRINTING
The latest technology in UV printing has limitless colour shades,
a perfect quadrichromic rendering of images and photos and a high
resistance to machine-washing. This technique allows for relief printing
and complex artworks on tempered glasses.
Decoration
SCREEN PRINTING
Automatic direct printing up to 8 screens on high precision and efficiency machinery that enables us to customise and enrich glasses with brands and artworks.
Decoration
PRINTING ON GLASS CONTAINERS
Cutting-edge machinery and environmentally friendly inks allow us to decorate any glass container, making it exclusive and unique: bottles, vases, jars, etc.
Decoration
PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGING
By the combination of colours and the positioning of screens we can simulate photographic images; ideal for printing characters and landscapes.
Decoration
TRANSPARENT RELIEF
Transparent printing colour that simulates glass embossment where the demand does not fit within MOQs for new mould series. It can be used alongside normal screen printing.
Decoration
ECO-FRIENDLY COLOURS
Translucent or opaque organic colours from the widest palette can be sprayed on the whole glass surface or part of it. Organic screen-printing on top of them will complete the personalisation.
Decoration
LASER DECORATION
Laser engraving allows us to brand the external as well as the internal glass surface (in the latter case enhancing bubbles and foam in sparkling wines and beers). This technique is both of unchanging durability and very flexible in terms of MOQ.
Decoration
GLASS MOULDING
Branding can start from glass designing and moulding at VDGLASS LAB with the aim of obtaining a distinctive and exclusive object in tune with each brand image.
Decoration
ODD SHAPES
A higly skilled and experienced team and the use of state-of-the-art technology made it possible to adapt screen-printing to odd-shaped objects.
Decoration
METALLISED COLOURS
The ideal alternative to truly metallic colours like gold and platinum; shiny, more durable and cost-efficient.
Decoration
EXCLUSIVE PACKS
Exclusive packaging is dedicated to promotional activities. From offset printed boxes and sleeves to on-pack devices that fix glasses onto bottles necks.
Decoration
PHOTOSENSITIVE INKS
Organic, heavy-metal free, fluorsecent and phosphorescent screen-printing colours that react to light, adding an exclusive touch to your glass.
Decoration
THERMOSENSITIVE INKS
Organic, heavy-metal free, colour-changing inks that react at a set temperature adding a unique, surprise touch to your glass.
Decoration
DECALS
Ideal decorating method for more complex artworks and small batches, where automatic screen-printing is not viable.
