Colorfill
Colorfill is a technique of applying a special opaque paint on an etched area of crystal or glass. Colorfill may be used for logos, custom graphics or text. An image is first engraved by using a deep etching technique. Then engravers apply translucent or opaque glass paints on the engraved surface. We do not offer an exact or PMS (Pantone Matching System) color match. PMS color matching was introduced in order to standardize printed ink colors. Screen printing inks are different from glass and crystal paints used for colorfill. Therefore, PMS colors can not be matched exactly for glass or crystal paints. We will try to approximate PMS colors by blending basic glass color paints.

Colorfill or screen printed charges are based on a per item charge. We charge up to $35 per item for 2 basic colors. We offer the following basic colors: gold, silver, red, blue, black. Please note that colorfill or screen printed orders may require an additional 2-3 days of production time. Not all graphics and logos are suitable for colorfill. Our graphical designers will determine if colorfill or screen printed logos or custom graphics can be applied.
