In certain situations, textured effects can be created to give 'feel' to the design or logo. Glass decals are fired in a conventional decorating lehr. Firing temperatures range from 480/500°C for thin section Lighting Glass, to 600/630°C for multi-trip beverage bottles and can also be formulated to suit glass toughening cycles. Ceramic decals fire in the range 760 to 820°C for conventional on-glaze decoration or up to 1100°C for in-glaze decoration.
