Applied ceramic labelling is the application of ceramic inks to the glass container in which permanent fusion of the ink to the glass container is carried out in controlled high temperatures. The printed glass bottle is passed through the conveyor oven in which the glass where the ink is permanently fused to the glass bottle. This type of packaging provide good chemical resistance and also resist stretching and chipping. This type of packaging will create 360 degree graphics on the neck area of the bottles. This process is also known as silk screening .It is an alternative to paper labels and pressure sensitive labels.
