Decorating Glass or Crystal

Sandblast Engraving - Our default engraving method

Engraved Ice Peak Award

Our most common/popular method of personalising glass! When you order an eligible glass item from our website, this will be the method we use. This is a permanent process that naturally leaves a 'frosted' finish on the glass, with a deep etch. All of our glassware / glass awards we sell (with an available working area) are suitable for Sandblast Engraving.

 

Full Colour Digital Printing - Click here to view the Full Range

Full colour digital printing can be used to reproduce full colour photographs, company logos and wording. Please note this process is only available on a selected range of flat glass products only.

 

Pad Printing (available on request)

Pad Printing becomes a viable option for bulk orders of glass.  Usually, it's a better option to sandblast etch single quantity or small batches of items. Please Contact Us for enquiries on printing your design/text on glassware.

Pad Printed images can be removed by a determined person, armed with a hobby knife and, although we have tested a glass in a dishwasher for a dozen cycles without loss of detail to the print, we do not recommend dishwashing Pad Printed products! 

 

Sub Surface Laser Engraving (available on request)

Click here to Contact Us, to find out more about this range and service.

Sub surface laser engraving is a technique used to engrave 2D or 3D images that are suspended inside of the optical crystal gift / award. Logos and text will always be imprinted within the glass as a 2-dimensional (flat) image.

 

Hand Engraving (available on request)

The epitome of ‘Glass Decoration’!  A talented hand engraver will reproduce an image, deeply carved into the glass, using Diamond or Carborundum tipped burrs to cut into the glass and Wood or Rubber wheels to polish areas, resulting in an almost three dimensional image.

Alternative methods are utilised by ‘bouncing’ a diamond tip onto the glass, creating a ‘halftone’ effect.
