Decoration guide

Printed or engraved: which one to quote

How should your logo look?

Both methods put your client's mark on the same American-made glass, in the same gift box, on the same lead time. They sell differently. Here is every glass color shot both ways, so you can put the real thing in front of a client instead of describing it.

The finish

How should the logo look?

Custom printed or laser engraved

Printed candles

Your artwork prints directly onto the glass in full color — gradients, photography and more than two brand colors all reproduce exactly as supplied, and the mark reads vivid against the flame when the candle is lit.

The right choice when the logo is the color, or when there is more than one.

Engraved candles

Your artwork is laser-engraved into the glass itself — tone-on-tone, no color — and it catches the light and glows from within once the candle is lit. Because it is etched into the glass, it cannot fade, scratch off or peel.

The right choice for clean type, monograms and solid shapes.

Printed shown beside engraved in every color, at both sizes. Frosted and Ivory are available printed only, so there is no engraved version of them to show.

Every color, at 9 oz.

What distributors ask us

What's the real difference between printed and engraved candles?

Printing applies full-color artwork directly to the glass, so a logo with gradients, photography or more than two brand colors reproduces exactly as supplied. Engraving etches the mark into the glass itself in a single tone — no color — and it catches the light when the candle is lit, which reads as the more premium finish of the two.

Is Frosted or Ivory glass available in both finishes?

No. Frosted and Ivory are available in printed only. All other glass colors — Black, White, Amber, Blue, Green, Nude, Pink, Purple, Red, Sand and Yellow — are available in both printed and engraved.

What's the minimum order for custom logo candles?

The minimum order is 50 units, across every glass color and finish.

How long is production once artwork is approved?

Standard production runs 10–15 business days. Ask your Bath Promotions contact about rush options for your quantity and deadline.
