The short answer
Approve print artwork, location, colours, registration and durability requirements on the actual bottle. Use a controlled sample rather than a digital rendering alone.
The bottle’s shape and surface influence the available printing area. Artwork that appears straightforward on a flat page may need changes around curves, transitions or orientation features.
Create a print-ready specification
Provide vector artwork, dimensions, colour references and the required viewing orientation. Identify clear areas and alignment with embossing or the closure. Confirm the proposed printing process and any restrictions with the decorator.
Evaluate the printed pack
Inspect registration, coverage and appearance under consistent lighting. Define durability checks suited to handling and packing. Review the final combination if printing is applied over another surface treatment.
Procurement checklist
- Provide the approved artwork revision.
- Mark print dimensions and position.
- Agree colour and registration criteria.
- Trial the final surface-treatment combination.
- Check durability and packing contact points.
Common question
Can a logo colour be approved from a monitor?
A screen is a useful reference but not a complete colour approval. Agree a physical or defined colour reference and evaluate the printed bottle under consistent conditions.
