Short answer
The four common decorations for glass perfume bottles are screen printing (ink logo, most economical), hot foil stamping (metallic gold or silver logo), frosting (a satin matte glass surface) and spray coating (a solid or gradient colour on the glass). Screen print and hot foil suit small runs; spray colours usually need larger quantities per colour.
Options compared

Artwork tips
- Send vector artwork (AI or PDF) with fonts outlined.
- Keep fine lines above 0.2 mm so they print cleanly on glass.
- Ask for the print area: curved or faceted bottles have a smaller flat area.
