In the context of the broader glass industry, the screen printed glass market encompasses the niche that deals with the application of designs or patterns on glass surfaces using printing techniques similar to that used in screen printing on textiles. This process involves transferring ink onto the glass surface through a mesh screen, except that areas intended to be ink-free are obscured by a stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printed glass is utilized in diverse applications including architectural glass, automotive glass, appliance glass, and decorative glass pieces. The versatility of screen printed glass allows for both aesthetic enhancements, such as intricate patterns and images, and functional features like light diffusion and solar control. Several companies operate within the screen printed glass market, with key players serving various industries from construction to automotive. Notable entities in this market include Corning Inc., AGC Inc., PPG Industries, Nippon Sheet Glass Co., Ltd. (NSG), and Saint-Gobain. These companies offer a range of screen printed glass products and services, catering to the evolving needs of their customers and adapting to new design trends and technological advancements in printing methods.
