A bottle is placed into a hydrochlorid acid solution that changes the structure of its surface, adding a nice and smooth finish. Acid etching is a popular way to decorate bottles of effectively all sorts of spirits, including vodka, cognac, wine, champagne, liqueurs, or soft drinks.

Glass Decor employs high performance SAPI equipment (Italy) for glass etching.

Many customers of Glass Decor order partial etching, so that the consumer can see the contents through a small transparent window on the surface.

When filled, it creates a lens effect, zooming in the image placed on the opposite side of the bottle. The liquid refracts the image, creating a unique visual effect and visually zooming the image in. If coated with a special protective finish, the frosted background can also carry various elements and transparent ornaments.

Utilizing more than one decoration technology can unlock extended packaging opportunities and deliver the desired brand perception. One bottle can combine acid etching, a transparent window, and silk screen printing with paints, including gold or platinum containing materials.
