Engraved Glasses – Perfect Way to Remember

If you want to commemorate a perfect trip you’ve had or celebrate a big day in a memorable way, such as weddings, anniversaries, or birthdays, there is no better way to do that than getting engraved glasses.

Engraved glasses can be any sort of glasses, such as engraved wine glasses or engraved shot glasses. If you are thinking about what to buy for a wedding gift, engraved shot glasses are a nice option for a gift that the newly married couple will remember for a long time.

Instead of buying just regular gifts that are easy to forget, you can show the married couple that you care about them enough to buy a present that is more personal to them. If you have no idea of what kind of card to buy to someone on an important day, engraved glasses can also work as useable and practical cards that will not be thrown away.


Unique and personalized engraved glasses can be chosen from a vast variety of designs readily available. You just have to choose what kind of engraved glasses you’d like to have and the engraver will ask you for the contents and words you would like to have on your glasses.

The engraver knows usually really well what kind of designs will look best on the glass, so you should follow the advice you get from him or her in order to get the best result possible. There are also some designs and font types that are difficult to engrave because the glass material behaves differently from paper, so ask your engraver to avoid disappointments.

The text you want to have on the engraved glasses should be so clear that it is easy to read, so there are normally a few good font types you can choose from in order to have the best result. Shot glasses are usually made of sturdy glass which should be very durable, and the ink used in shot glasses is formulated so that it should last for a long time even after several washes in dishwashing machine.

The Engraving Process and Care Instructions

The engraving process usually is started by creating plates for engraving that contain the wanted design and text. After creating the plate special glass ink is usually applied to the shot glass, after which the whole thing gets a heat treatment which produces a hard and very durable surface on the glass.

Even though shot glasses with engraving are usually dishwasher safe, the engraving and ink personalization can still wear of over time if repeatedly cleaned with hot water and detergents used in dishwashers. Therefore, it is best to wash small and nicely decorated glasses by hands and with relatively cold running water, which ensures that the engraved and decorated shot glasses will last for many years and remain as beautiful as they were new.
