Glass Engraving

Laser engraving glass with beautiful images, patterns or text can achieve striking results. Lasers are a good choice for glasswork, their speed and accuracy being preferred to traditional methods by many.

When the laser beam hits the surface of the glass, the surface is heated and fine glass particles are blasted off.  There’s no depth to the image that’s engraved into the glass, just a crisp frosted effect.

Glass comes in many different types of quality and composition, and this can make it difficult to predict the exact effect that will be achieved during the glass engraving process. We test glass types before starting a job to establish the correct power setting, and treat the surface of the glass with a thin film of liquid soap to protect the glass surface from damage during engraving.

Our top-of-the-line laser machine allows us to engrave much larger 3D objects. Some common jobs we are asked to take on are:

•    Engraved flute glasses, wine glasses, goblets, engraved glass tankards and pint glasses
•    Engraved whiskey decanters
•    Engraved fruit bowls
•    Engraved perfume bottles or other glass bottles.

Many other items are suitable for glass engraving, so please contact us with details of what you have in mind.

Quantity discounts are available on orders over 10 units and more.

Please note: Owing to the high lead content in crystal, we’ve found this to be a type of glass that is prone to breaking and therefore we regret that we are no longer able to offer an engraving service for crystal glassware.
