We have long incorporated the verb serigrafiar to our vocabulary, but do we really know what this technique consists of? If you are not sure, keep reading our blog and expand your knowledge on the subject.
Screen printing is a printing technique that consists of reproducing an image on a material. It is a very old technique whose origin dates back to ancient China, where it was applied mainly on objects of daily use.
A little later, screen printing became popular in Europe, being used to print drawings on fabrics and textiles. Meanwhile, in the United States, the first silkscreen prints on paper were made for advertising purposes. Up to the present day, where we find personalized glasses.
Technique for screen-printing glasses
Thanks to this technique , an ink is transferred through a mesh stretched on a frame, also called screen. And for each color that we want to apply, we will need an additional screen that allows to pass each of the inks to the desired surface. In this way, we will be able to print the chosen image with the appropriate colors.
With all this information, we could say that screen printing is a technique that allows us to customize any material. Offering an exclusive final product according to our needs. Well, now let’s talk about glasses. Specifically, screen-printed personalized glasses.
As we have already said, screen printing is a technique that can be applied on any material. So the answer to our question as to whether screen-printed glasses should be made of plastic is a resounding no.
Reusable screen-printed cups
If we want to do our bit and bet on REUSABLE elements for our event or celebration, we can opt for the reusable cups from Ecogots, a more sustainable alternative to conventional plastic cups.
In this way, we can apply our image, message or logo on an environmentally friendly element, avoiding reusable plastic cups that, in addition to generating a large amount of resources in their manufacture, also contribute to a negative impact on the carbon footprint.
So no. Screen-printed cups don’t have to be made of plastic. They can also be made from organic waste such as the rice husks we use at Ecogots.
Trendy colors
The latest color trends for 2023 are marked by the so-called Viva Magenta, the color chosen by Pantone® to lead preferences in the world of design. It is a hue rooted in nature that descends from the red family, expressing a new sign of strength. Viva Magenta is a pulsating, cheerful and optimistic color that disconnects us from technology to bring us closer to nature. A color very much in line with Ecogots’ philosophy and with which we are sure to create the most avant-garde screen-printed designs.
