Glass Decorations jumped into gear, under strict lockdown specifications, to meet demand for essential pharmaceutical and food packaging.

The company offers various decorating processes including silkscreen printing, foiling and color coating directly on to bottles, jars and drinking glasses, utilizing various inks. Pressure-sensitive labeling, sleeve application and product repacking for retail purposes form part of its extended service offering.
