Decorate a Standard Container
Decoration and customisation that sets your packaging apart
Decorating a standard container is a practical way to create distinctive glass packaging without committing to a fully bespoke mould. At Rawlings, we help brands transform glass bottles and glass jars through carefully selected decorative techniques that deliver impact at shelf level while staying aligned with budget, production timelines and brand identity.
As experienced glass packaging specialists, we work closely with you to understand how your product will be used, displayed and distributed. This allows us to recommend decoration options that work seamlessly with your chosen container, whether you are ordering wholesale glass bottles for large-scale production or smaller volumes for a growing brand.
Decorative techniques tailored to your brand
There is a wide range of decoration and customisation methods available, each offering a different visual result and tactile experience. Our team will guide you through the options, explaining how each process interacts with the glass, closures and labelling requirements.
Common decoration techniques include:
· Screen printing for crisp branding and strong colour definition
· Applied labels designed to suit different glass finishes and shapes
· Spraying and colour coating for solid or translucent effects
· Full-body sleeving for bold, wraparound designs
· Etching and sandblasting for subtle texture and premium detail
· Metallic coatings and hot stamping for standout highlights
· Frosting to soften the appearance of glass bottles and jars
· Embossing for raised branding on selected container designs
Each method has its own production considerations, from durability and cost to lead times and suitability for filling lines. Our role is to help you select the right decoration approach for your product, ensuring a consistent finish across every unit.
Balancing creativity with practicality
Decorative glass packaging needs to look good while performing reliably in real-world conditions. We consider how finishes will hold up during transport, filling, storage and use by the end consumer. This practical approach helps avoid issues later in the process and ensures your decorated glass bottles or jars meet both aesthetic and functional expectations.
By sourcing from trusted partners and managing decoration projects on your behalf, we provide a clear route from concept to delivery. Whether you are refreshing an existing product or launching something new, our experience as a glass packaging specialist allows us to support confident decision-making at every stage.
If you are exploring ways to personalise standard glass packaging and create stronger brand recognition without developing a bespoke container, our team is here to help.
