What Is Bottle Engraving?
Bottle engraving is the art of etching personalized messages, names, or designs directly onto the surface of a liquor bottle. This timeless craft dates back centuries, with early methods involving hand-etched glass. Today, bottle engraving has evolved with technology to include precise laser engraving and sandblasting techniques that allow for stunning, permanent designs.
Unlike labeling or etching, engraving cuts directly into the glass, offering a sophisticated, tactile result. Laser engraving is ideal for fine detail and speed, while sandblasting provides a deeper, textured look. Each technique brings a unique charm, perfect for turning your spirits into statement pieces.
