Designs Best Practices for Dreamship's Engraving Glassware

Engraving plays by its own rules. Instead of layering on color like UV printing, it gently etches your design into the glass for a sleek, frosted look—perfect for upscale gifts and everyday style. Craving vibrant, full-color artwork? Pop over to our UV-printed Glassware collection. But if you’re ready to let the laser do its magic, set up your file using the quick guidelines below so every curve and character comes out crisp and professional.

Do's

• High contrast images
• Clear, legible text
• Sufficient line thickness
• Black & White artwork

Don'ts

• Gradients, drop-shadows
• Ultra-thin lines below 6 pt
• Small or intricate text
• Colored Photos

Pro tip: Always upload artwork in pure black (#000000) on a white or transparent background. Grey pixels, soft fades or colour elements will translate to uneven, patchy engraving.

Frequently Asked Question on Engraved Glassware

Is laser engraving the same as UV printing?
No. Laser engraving actually removes a micro-thin layer of glass, leaving a permanent, frosted design—completely ink-free. UV printing, on the other hand, jets colored ink onto the glass and cures it with UV light, giving you vibrant, full-color images. Because that ink sits on the surface, it can show wear over time if the glass is heavily scratched. If you want bright, multi-color artwork, explore Dreamship’s UV-printed Glassware line. If you prefer maximum durability and a clean, minimalist finish, laser engraving is the clear winner.

Will the engraving wash off?
No. The mark is physically carved into the surface, making it more durable than printed designs.

Can I engraving with colour?
No. Laser engraving physically removes a micro-thin layer of glass and leaves a frosted, colour-less mark.

Are the glasses dishwasher-safe?

Absolutely—top-rack recommended. High-heat commercial dishwashers are also safe, though a gentler cycle will preserve clarity longer.

Is the engraving food-safe?

Yes. Dreamship’s engraved glasses are made from tempered, FDA-compliant, BPA-free glass with no added coatings or inks. The laser simply removes a micro-thin layer of the glass itself, so the finished piece remains entirely food-safe and naturally lead-free.
