La presente divulgación describe sustrato(s) (10) formado(s) con una característica tridimensional (3D) (12) en el mismo, y método(s) de impresión del mismo. Un método incluye la identificación de una pluralidad de ubicaciones (32) en una superficie de sustrato (18) donde se formará la característica tridimensional, la determinación de un valor de altura de la característica tridimensional en cada ubicación, la asignación de un valor de escala de grises a cada ubicación basado en el valor de altura, y la aplicación de tinta a la superficie del sustrato en cada ubicación de acuerdo con el valor de escala de grises asignado. This disclosure describes substrate(s) having a three-dimensional (3D) feature formed thereon and methods of forming the features. One method involves applying a first layer of UV-curable material on a surface of the glass container around a circumference of the container and curing the first layer of UV-curable material to produce a first cured material layer that forms at least a portion of a first 3D feature. The method further comprises applying a second layer of UV-curable material on the surface of the glass container, spaced apart from the first 3D feature, around the circumference of the container, and curing the second layer of UV-curable material to produce a second cured material layer that forms at least a portion of a second 3D feature. The portion of the glass container between the first and second 3D features has a circumference less than that of the first or second 3D features.
