Screenprinting Design Tips

With all of our imprinted glassware we use a 1 color screen printing process. Here are some design tips to help you get the ultimate results out of your customization.

Resolution. Vector artwork works best. If your artwork is rasterized, high resolution (300 dpi) is ideal for crisp clear results. All of the artwork offered in our clipart gallery meets these requirements. However if you are uploading your own, this is important to keep in mind.
Color Limit. Keep it one color. If you are uploading your own artwork, please keep in mind that with the screen printing process we will not print in more than 1 color. This means any images with shading or drop shadows will not be accepted.
Fonts. Font choice is very important. If you choose to use text, please be cautious of the font you choose. Please make sure it is clear and well spread out.
Design. When choosing your design, please keep in mind that bold designs stand out best especially on a transparent glass. If you get involved in a lot of small detail with your design, you may lose some definition and ultimately be unhappy with the outcome. Designs that look nice on a white background may not transfer great on a glass background.
Imprint area. Please keep in mind that when you are making your design on the online designer, the actual imprint area is not what you are seeing. The online designer will zoom your design making it easier for you to see what you are doing during the design process, but the end result will only allow for a smaller imprint area. Design within the dotted rectangle guide.
Color Choice. Black ink will always stand out best on a transparent glass, but certainly not on a dark blue frosted glass. Please keep this in mind when choosing your ink color. Try to keep your ink color choice complimentary to your glass choice. White ink will not look good on a transparent glass but will really stand out on a blue or black frosted glass.

Shot Glass Design Tips and Advice

We have years of experience working with customer designs for glassware and other printed bartending supplies and enjoy working with our customers to make the most out of their orders. There are only a few simple rules to keep your artwork optimal for screen printing. Below are examples of a good shot glass design and a bad shot glass design. First we will go over a bad shot glass design, and then demonstrate how to correct and improve on the design. In our example, we went with a worst case scenario where the names of the couple are too long. In many of the custom wedding favor orders we receive, we'll see placement of the names that can be improved, thus making the shot glass easier to read and more enjoyable for your guests.

Bad Shot Glass Design

This is an example of a bad shot glass design. There are many things about this design that could be greatly improved.

Multi Colored - Shot glasses need to be a single color ink. The only exception for a second color is in case the clipart or the uploaded graphic contains white, which will not be printed.. Since this design contains red and black it will need to be modified to either be all black or all red to be printed.
Text is Too Cramped - The shot glass as it appears on the screen is very close to the actual size. If the text is hard to read on the screen it will most likely be hard to read once printed. Also, if you can't make out any white space between characters, this will also make the text more difficult to read.
Small Graphic - Similiar to the advice on the size of text, if the graphic is hard to see on the screen it will most likely be difficult to see on the printed product.
Design Goes Outside the Lines - Some of this design is going outside of the allowed print space. If this design were to be printed as seen on the screen the M and the A in the couple's names could be cut off.

Good Shot Glass Design

This is an example of a good shot glass design. In this design we have taken the same basic information from the bad shot glass design and made corrections and improvements to allow for a cleaner and clearer product that will be enjoyed for years to come.

Single Colored - The design has been adjusted to only contain black ink. Black is usually a good color to go with on a product like a shot glass since it is the most bold, and can be read in many lighting circumstances.
Text is Spaced - Text should be as large as possible. Since adding additional space and size to the names text wasn't possible, we put the text on more than one line. This greatly improved the readability of the design.
Larger Graphic - The size of the graphic being used has been increased to a size that makes it much more visible once printed.
Design is Within the Lines - The design fits inside of the allowable print area, so the entire graphic will now be printed as seen on the screen.

While the fonts and clipart being used in this design are personal preference, you may use most any art and font you'd like. If you follow the good principles of design, most fonts and artwork can be used to create a dynamic, fun and cherished final shot glass.

Glassware Care & Handling

Once your glassware arrives, proper care will ensure that your glasses remain problem free for years to come. Proper glassware care and handling includes:

Always hand wash. Glassware is not safe to wash in a dish washing machine, even on the top rack. The imprint, while strong and long lasting, will come off in intense cleaning cycles that a dish washer can produce. HAND WASH ONLY.
Be extremely careful when unpacking your glassware. It's important that you remove the inner pack cartons one at a time and remove the glasses carefully. Glass can chip if handled aggressively or if it makes contact with other glassware or hard surfaces.
Avoid extreme temperatures. Glass left in extreme heat (over 100 degress) or extreme cold (below 30 degrees) for prolonged periods of time can produce stress cracks. Ideally, storing your glassware in a cool dry place will ensure it's imprint and material will remain intact.
