Pad Printing on Custom Beverage Shot Glasses
Durable Branding for Promotional and Retail Glassware

Precision Decoration for Glass, Ceramic & Plastic Shot Glasses
At Deco Technology Group, we offer high-resolution pad printing services for custom shot glasses, including glass, ceramic, and plastic substrates. Our Swiss-built microPrint pad printing systems allow us to accurately apply logos, graphics, or text on curved and tapered surfaces common to shot glassware.
Whether you're printing limited-edition retail items, promotional giveaways, or custom barware, our process ensures vibrant and durable prints that hold up to repeated handling, washing, and use.
High-Performance Inks for Glass & Ceramics
We use Printcolor inks from Switzerland, known for their exceptional durability and adhesion on non-porous surfaces like glass and glazed ceramic. Inks are available in solvent-based or UV-curable options, ensuring optimal resistance to:
- Abrasion and chemical exposure
- Heat and dishwasher cycles
- Alcohol and moisture contact
We also offer Class VI-certified inks for applications where safety compliance is critical.
Common Applications
- Branded shot glasses for breweries and distilleries
- Wedding favors and custom event merchandise
- Retail souvenir and gift shop glassware
- Promotional glass sets for marketing campaigns
- Limited-edition releases and collector sets
We accommodate both small batch runs and high-volume production.
Advanced Surface Treatment Options
Difficult surfaces like frosted glass or soft-touch coatings may require pre-treatment. Our capabilities include:
- Flame treatment
- Corona treatment
- Plasma treatment
These help increase surface energy for better ink anchoring and adhesion.
