Glass Engraving: Methods, Finish and What to Consider

Different ways to engrave glass

Laser processing is one option, but wheel engraving, rotary tools, stippling and abrasive methods can also create engraved effects. The best route depends on the piece.

Finished objects need care

Bottles, awards and presentation glass are already complete products. Positioning, curvature and available engraving area have to be considered before work begins.

Artwork and contrast

Simple high-contrast artwork often translates particularly well. Very fine details may need adjustment depending on the glass and the size of the finished mark.

Send the item details first

Photographs, dimensions and artwork allow Furnells to assess whether a piece is suitable before you commit to sending or delivering it.
