1After the order is obtained,
materials are gathered. Glass
ornaments begin as molten
material that is formed into an
orb shape; the glass is silvered
to offer better color definition.
For custom ornaments that
are created from submitted
artwork, printers are prepped.
2 Print plates are loaded
into the machine or artwork
is entered into the supplier’s
software. Specially trained
employees work with
proprietary machinery to
transfer custom artwork to the
blank ornaments.
3 The artwork is printed,
and the ornaments are
checked for quality before
being packed and shipped to
the customer.
