Message is the bottle.
Others print on cylinders. We engineered sublimation for the forms that define premium packaging — irregular flacons, textured glass, complex geometry. At industrial scale. At 1200 dpi.
Built for complexity
Luxury packaging is never simple geometry. Irregular flacons, textured glass, recessed surfaces, multi-material assemblies — our R&D was built to decorate the forms that standard lines refuse. From 5,000 pieces to 20 million per year, per plant.

How a project works
Brief
Your bottle, your artwork, your volumes. We take it from there.
Prototype
On the production line. Same equipment, same settings. Five working days from component arrival.
Approval
You sign off on the sample. The file and settings are locked for production.
Production
From 5,000 units to 20 million per year. Multi-SKU. Full quality documentation included.
Three steps. Infinite possibilities.
Choose your glass
Any geometry. Any substrate. From 10 ml flacons to 7-litre formats. We decorate your bottles — supplied by the industry's leading glassmakers.

Nine base primers. Opacity, transparency, metallic shimmer. The primer is the first design decision — it defines every colour, every reflection, every effect.
See primersCMYK at 1200 dpi. Unlimited colours. No screens, no clichés, no setup costs. What you see on screen is what you get on glass.
Artwork guidePrimer
Sublimation prints in CMYK. Whites, metallics and mirrors come from the primer. Same artwork, different primer — different bottle.
Coverage
Graduated opacity, partial coverage, top-down fades. The glass shows where the primer doesn't.
Creating the artwork
CMYK direct to surface. 1200 dpi. Unlimited colours. No screens, no clichés, no per-colour setup costs. Gradients, fine art, QR codes, AI-generated visuals — what you supply is what prints.
Format
Photoshop (.psd) or Illustrator (.ai), layered. Smart Objects, individually editable layers. Package with all linked assets, fonts and libraries.
Resolution
Minimum 600 dpi native at final print size — not upscaled. Supports up to 1200 dpi. Higher resolution = more depth and definition.
Seamless layout
Left and right edges must match without interruption. The join disappears when the decoration wraps. Design for continuity from the start.
Colour space
Work in CMYK. Whites and metallics come from the primer, not from ink. Define the primer as part of the brief.
Our team is part of your brief
No print-ready file? No problem. Most projects start with a concept, not a production asset.
Our technical team advises on primers, layout, colour expectations and feasibility — and will tell you honestly when something won't work. File preparation, adaptation and format conversion included on every project.
For packaging agencies: dedicated onboarding, technical training and complimentary sampling.

What is digital sublimation on packaging?
Full-body, 360° digital printing on glass, aluminium, zamac and ceramic. One seamless pass. Gradients, QR codes, AI-generated artwork, photographic detail — all at 1200 dpi. No screens, no clichés. What you design on screen is exactly what prints on glass.
What can ATIU print?
Anything. Logos, barcodes, QR codes, fine art, AI-generated visuals — full photographic quality at 1200 dpi with unlimited colours.
What materials does ATIU decorate?
Glass, aluminium, zamac and ceramic. Perfume bottles and flacons, spirits bottles, caps, candle jars and closures.
What is the minimum order quantity?
From 5,000 pieces. Up to 3 SKUs on the same primer base in a single run. Volumes scale to 1 million bottles per project.
Are there tooling or setup costs?
Zero. No cliché costs, no plate charges, no setup fees. Tooling applies only when combining pad printing or foil with sublimation.
How does colour matching work?
Built into every project. CMYK reads differently on white, transparent and metallic primer bases. Our team advises on achievable results before sampling and documents any deviations for sign-off. Nothing ships without your approval.
