Every piece is engraved to order. Personalization, artwork and quantity are set on the product page — nothing is produced until you approve a proof.

Frost, not ink

On glass the beam neither oxidises nor ablates — it fractures the surface at microscopic scale, and the scattered light reads as a bright white frost. Depth is a function of power and pass count and the usable window is narrow: too hot and the rim chips, too cold and the art looks thin and grey under a bar light. We run deep, which is why a crest holds its edge and a rope border stays a rope border rather than a smudge.

Two positions, one glass

Most engravers charge for a second face because the glass has to be re-fixtured between passes. We include it. A car marque on the front and the model script on the back, a bar name on the front and a crest on the reverse, a company mark on the front and the recipient’s name behind it — that second face is usually what turns a promotional tumbler into something somebody keeps.

Insulated steel tumblers are marked on a rotary axis for a full 360° wrap. Crystal rocks glasses are marked flat, one or two positions.

Questions

About engraved drinkware

Is engraved glassware dishwasher safe?
Yes. The etch is a physical change to the glass surface, not a coating or a print, so nothing can lift or fade. We still recommend hand washing heavy crystal for the sake of the glass rather than the mark.
Can you etch both sides of a glass?
Yes, and it is included in the price rather than charged as a second setup. Front and reverse are the usual pair; a wrap around an insulated tumbler is done on a rotary axis.
Do you sell glasses individually or only in sets?
Both. Square rocks glasses are sold each, so a set of six matched glasses is a normal order and so is one. Crystal tumblers are boxed as a matched pair.
What artwork works best on glass?
Solid shapes and clean line work. Smallest legible text is about 2.5 mm cap height on glass, larger than on metal, because the frost spreads slightly. Fine hairlines and photographic detail do not survive as well as they do on titanium.
