How to Print on Plastic Bottles?

       Plastic bottles are used to package a wide variety of things, from juice to soft drinks, and they play a ubiquitous role in the lives of many consumers, along with other plastic products. Most plastic bottles are made from polyethylene terephtalate (PET) plastic, and almost all water bottles come from virgin plastic; an estimated 30% of the world's PET goes into plastic bottles. The plastic used in plastic bottles is made by mixing hydrocarbons extracted from crude oil with chemical catalysts, triggering polymerization.

       Commercial bottle tags are printed by bottle printers. But if you want to do bottle printing by yourself, it would be tricky. It is because bottles made from glass or plastic are non-porous, which means that printing words or designs can be a challenge. If you choose the right tools and printing materials, you can print on bottles made from glass or plastic, whether the bottles are textured, colored or smooth. The tools you need for printing on bottles are sandpaper (light grade), stencil, permanent marker, grid block, adhesive, rubber stamp, permanent solvent ink pad, etc. Use them wisely, you can make your unique bottle printing patters.
