Pint Glass Printing

Custom pint glasses are a great addition to any home bar and make perfect gifts to commemorate bachelor parties or other events. Glasses can be purchased in pint of half pint sizes depending on preferences or budget. Many of the companies that offer printing charge a nominal fee for their services, and in many cases, custom pint glasses will cost little more than plain glasses available through most stores. Take some time to do a bit of comparison-shopping before placing your order to decide which company is right for your needs.

One determinant in the cost of custom pint glasses is whether they will be printed or etched. Etched glasses do not use ink, but instead cut a design into the glass for customization. Etching typically costs more than printing, but some customers prefer the look and the fact that the design will never show any signs of wear, regardless of the number of times it has been washed. If you prefer printed designs, some companies will charge based on the number of colors that will be used and the complexity of the design. Policies differ from company to company, and the best way to get an accurate price quote is to submit the exact design you wish to add before placing an order.

Ordering Custom Pint Glasses

To save money on glasses that will be distributed to participants in a wedding or bachelor party, consider ordering custom pint glasses whose design will contain only letters and numbers. In this case, most sites will charge per character for those using standard fonts. Customization with standard characters will usually require the shortest wait for delivery, and may be ready just a week or two after the order is placed. Etched custom pint glasses may take a little longer, but will often be available within a month’s time.

Printed Pint Glasses

For those who are creating a bar at home, pint glasses with your personal logo and bar name are a great way to add character to your bar regardless of the size. Colored logos will need to be added to glasses via printing as opposed to etching and one should always make sure that the paint is dishwasher safe before ultimately deciding which company to choose. Many of the manufacturers of custom pint glasses are willing to lend a hand in the design of a logo as well, whether through a customer’s choosing a few elements from an online catalog, or through graphic designers in their employ. If your logo will be multicolor or take up most of the glass, expect to pay more per unit.

Most of the sites that offer custom pint glasses also carry the glasses themselves, so the glass selection and printing may be done in one easy step. If you will be ordering just a few glasses, expect to pay a higher price per glass than those will who need more that 24 or 36 depending on the company. For most orders, an additional fee may be paid to expedite the order or to guarantee their receipt by a certain date. To get the best deal, always order your glasses at least 6 weeks before the date you will need them. This will give you plenty of time to ensure their availability and fix any printing errors before they are used or distributed.

In addition to custom pint glasses, one can purchase personalized steins, wine glasses, or Champagne flutes. Mix and match to fully stock your bar or for a complete set of custom glassware for your next special event. These glasses will give guests something to take with them to commemorate your big day that they will use for years to come.
