About the Technique
Glass & Ceramic Transfer is a high-durability branding technique in which the design is printed onto a special ceramic or glass transfer decal, applied to the surface and then fired in a kiln at high temperature.
During firing, the pigments bond permanently with the glaze or the glass surface, creating a finish that is part of the material itself, not an added print layer.
This method is ideal where premium appearance and long-term durability are essential.

Visual Result
The print is completely smooth, with no raised texture.
Colors appear deep, even and stable, while fine details remain sharp and clean.
The final effect resembles factory-applied decoration, giving the product a refined, finished and premium look.
