Printed or engraved: which one to quote
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 colour shot both ways, so you can put the real thing in front of a client instead of describing it.

What distributors ask us
What's the real difference between printed and engraved candles?
Printing applies full-colour artwork directly to the glass, so a logo with gradients, photography or more than two brand colours reproduces exactly as supplied. Engraving etches the mark into the glass itself in a single tone — no colour — 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 colours — 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 colour 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.
