Materials & color

Material and color, developed together.

The right glass composition and color route shape how a product looks, feels and performs. We help define the most practical combination for your design and production requirements.

Premium colored glassware showing varied material and color directions

Material, color, form.

A considered route from design direction to production.

Material selection

Start with the right glass for the product.

Material selection affects clarity, weight, wall thickness, forming possibilities, durability and the final visual character of the glassware.

Lead-Free Crystal

High clarity and refined brilliance for premium drinkware, stemware and design-led collections.

Soda-Lime Glass

A practical and versatile material for scalable everyday glassware and larger production programs.

Borosilicate Glass

Lightweight and heat-resistant, suited to double-wall glassware, tea and coffee products and selected specialty forms.

Project-Specific Selection

Material is selected according to product geometry, target weight, performance requirements, production method and price positioning.

Integrated color

Color that becomes part of the glass.

For integrated-color glass, color is introduced during the glassmaking process rather than applied only to the finished surface. This creates depth, transparency and a more intrinsic color character.

Integrated color development

Color Through the Material

The color belongs to the glass itself rather than sitting only on the surface.

Depth & Transparency

Light interacts with the colored glass to create richer visual depth.

Designed for Collections

Color directions can be developed across coordinated drinkware and tabletop forms.

Production Evaluation

Color feasibility depends on composition, thickness, forming route and production quantity.

Color & finishing options

Different effects require different routes.

Not every color effect should be created in the same way. We evaluate the visual target, product use, quantity and cost requirements before recommending a production route.

Integrated color glassware

01

Integrated Color

Color introduced into the glass material for depth, transparency and an intrinsic appearance.

Spray-colored glassware

02

Spray Color

Surface-applied color for flexible decorative effects and a broader range of visual directions.

Electroplated metallic glassware

03

Electroplating & Metallic Effects

Reflective or metallic surface treatments for decorative and premium applications.

Frosted and tactile finished glassware

04

Frosted & Surface Finishes

Matte, translucent and tactile effects developed through suitable secondary finishing processes.

Color development

The same color can look different on every form.

Glass thickness, product geometry, surface texture and lighting all influence how color is perceived. Samples help establish the right visual standard before production.

01

Glass Thickness

Thicker areas can create deeper or more concentrated color.

02

Product Geometry

Curves, bases, stems and transitions change how light passes through the glass.

03

Surface Texture

Ribbed, hammered and patterned surfaces interact with color differently from smooth glass.

04

Lighting & Environment

Transparent and translucent colors change character under different lighting conditions.

Development process

From color direction to production standard.

  1. 1

    Define the direction

    Review reference colors, product design, material and intended visual effect.

  2. 2

    Evaluate the route

    Determine whether integrated color, surface coloring or another finishing method is most practical.

  3. 3

    Develop samples

    Produce physical samples to evaluate color, transparency, finish and interaction with the product form.

  4. 4

    Approve the standard

    Confirm the approved sample and production requirements before moving into bulk production.
