  3. Choose Aluminium bottle technology
    There are 2 technology options available at Cloudprinter.com for the Aluminium bottle: digital sublimation and laser engraving. The technology chosen influences the print zone size and orientation:

    If you opt for the digital sublimation technology, the print zone is horizontal:

    • Aluminium bottle 13.5 oz (0.4 l) — 207x100 mm (8.150x3.937 in);
    • Aluminium bottle 26 oz (0.77 l) — 230x170 mm (9.055x6.693 in).

    If you opt for the laser engraving technology, the print zone is vertical:

    • Aluminium bottle 13.5 oz (0.4 l) — 25x100 mm (0.984x3.937 in);
    • Aluminium bottle 26 oz (0.77 l) — 25x170 mm (0.984x6.693 in).
    *For your Aluminium bottle produced with the laser engraving technology, you will need to create the design with one 100% opacity colour (preferably black) for quality engraving.
    You can either choose a full-size picture or place a smaller one within the limits of the print zone while designing your Aluminium bottle. This refers to both of the technologies chosen at Cloudprinter.com.
