Advertise with Printed glassware
Printed glassware provides the ideal vessel to engrave your logo or personal message. There are so many options to choose from for a memorable and personal gift or to use in bars and at events.
Why not take a look at the printed pint glass we have recently created for our Pimm’s competition? We’ve chosen to etch our logo celebrating 40 years of Parkers Branded which we think looks fantastic!
Watch Charlie using our glass to create the perfect glass of Pimm’s to celebrate the arrival of summer in our latest vlog above.

Who chooses printed glassware?
Pubs, Bars and Hotels
A branded beer glass at in the hospitality industry isn’t a new concept. Serving your drink in a glass that complements the beverage provides subtle advertising.
Breweries or Distilleries
Many independent breweries and distilleries now sell their own glassware either to use in bars and pubs to serve drinks in, or as merchandise to buy in their stores or online.
Festivals
Festivals often supply their own printed glassware, usually a tumbler in plastic material for safety or wheat straw for a more organic effect.
Golf Clubs
Commemorative glassware is a common gift idea for golf clubs. Engrave tankards, crystal glass or decanters for a special gift or award that will be treasured.
Corporate events or Parties
Create a professional image at meetings, events or product launches with glassware featuring a company logo. Food and drink events or wine tasting evenings are the ideal environment to feature your brand.
Weddings
If you are looking for a commemorative item for your special day, try personalising champagne glasses using etched techniques for a keepsake or favour.
How do you personalise glassware?
There are multiple techniques that can be used to personalise your glassware including printing, etching and engraving. Depending on the finish you are looking for, choose any of these techniques to personalise your glass.
Transfer Print
Use bold colours to make your brand really pop with the drink of choice. Align your brand and the colour of your drink. Think about what colours work best against beer, gin or wine so your logo doesn’t get lost when holding the drink. Full wraparound print may also be used to decorate your glass.
Engraved
Sandblast engraving involves ablating the glass to customise. Your artwork is transferred to a stencil and the process involves using sand that is fired at the glass under high pressure to expose the image or lettering.
Laser engraving can prove more flexible and accurate, especially if you have a photo, a highly detailed image or lettering to add your glass.
Etched
Etching glass is a technique that involves using chemicals that scratch the surface of the glass to give it a frosted appearance. It’s more subtle than printing and you can create a variety of elegant looks by using this technique for your logo or message.
Please consult us if you are unsure which print method would look best for your glassware.
