Bottle Screen Printers

Screen making, reclaiming and print preparation

Good screen work is part of good print work. We prepare screens for cylindrical printing and assist with screen reclaiming so they can be reused properly. That helps reduce cost and keeps the process tidy, especially where multiple product sizes or artwork changes are part of normal production. If screens are not cleaned, reclaimed and stored correctly, the print quality can drift very quickly.

We also help customers understand how screen condition, ink choice and substrate preparation affect the finished result. A bottle with a glossy surface behaves differently from a cup or tube, and the setup must suit the item. Small details matter here, like mesh choice, off-contact and squeegee pressure. Get those right and the print holds better, looks cleaner and saves time on the floor, which is what most businesses want.

• Screen reclaiming to keep consumable costs under control
• Checks on registration and print alignment

Why clients have trusted us since 2007

Bottle Screen Printers has been serving South African customers since 2007, and that long run has taught us what works in real workshops. Thabo Mokoena leads the business as Managing Director, with Naledi Khumalo handling operations, Johan van der Merwe in technical sales, Anele Dlamini on installation, Farieda Jacobs on production training and Sibusiso Nene coordinating service calls. Clients come back because they know they will get straight answers, proper follow through and equipment support that matches the work in front of them.

People also return because they want a supplier who understands local conditions. A machine that runs well in a controlled factory may still need adjustment in a hotter building, a smaller shop or a coastal site where moisture affects drying. We keep our advice practical and our support direct. If a client is chasing better output, fewer rejects or a cleaner finish, we focus on the detail that moves the result in the right direction. That is how long term relationships are built, not by promises but by doing the work properly.

Nationwide regions and local support from Aeroton

Our base is in Aeroton, Johannesburg, which puts us in a good position to support Gauteng and beyond. We regularly work in Johannesburg South, Midrand and Pretoria, and we also assist clients in Durban, Cape Town and other parts of South Africa. When required, we arrange installs and support visits nationwide, with attention to lead times, site access and what the customer needs to have ready before we arrive.

Because every area presents something different, we plan each job around the actual site. In some places that means extra care around humidity and drying. In others it means checking floor space, entry routes or municipal site rules before equipment is moved in. For businesses dealing with tight schedules, having a supplier who can organise the install properly and keep spares moving can make a real difference, especially when production is already under pressure.
