How To Choose

Materials

Glass is a traditional, timeless choice which will give you a clear, premium look. Plastic is both lightweight and durable, which makes it perfect for outdoor events, whilst stainless steel is modern, maintains temperature and is great for both hot and cold drinks. Acrylic provides you with the clarity of glass but also gives you extra durability.

Imprint methods

Screen printing delivers vibrant colors and is suitable for both logos and text. Laser engraving offers a sophisticated appearance, particularly on glass and metal surfaces. Decals are great for detailed designs and photo-quality prints. Etching is great for glassware and gives a subtle, elegant look.

Capacity

Small glasses are great for tastings and shots, whilst medium glasses are versatile enough to house various beverages. Large glasses are great for large servings and thirsty audiences.

Budget

Economy options can be ideal for bigger giveaways and events with tighter budgets. Mid-range gives you a balance between affordability and quality, whilst premium is a good match for high-end events or occasions when you need to make a long-lasting impression.

Durability

Disposable glasses are ideal for one-time use including hectic events and festivals. Reusable glasses are perfect for eco-friendly brands and for long-term use.

Target audience

If you’re targeting professionals, look for premium or subtly branded options. Young adults tend to find novel shapes and trendy designs appealing, whilst versatile designs can be great for targeting the general public.

Event type

Portable, lightweight options can be great for trade shows. Premium choices allow you to show your appreciation at company parties, and distinctive or novel designs can demand attention at product launches. Functional and sturdy glasses can be best for casual gatherings.

Brand aesthetics

If you’re seeking to create a minimalist look, you could opt for clean lines and clear glass alongside subtle branding. Those who need to create a bold look can choose large logos, vibrant colors and catchy slogans. Sophisticated designs with subtle etchings and metallic finishes can work wonders if you want to create something truly elegant.

Environmental considerations

Recycled materials enable you to show your commitment to sustainability, whilst biodegradable options are great for brands targeting eco-friendliness. Dishwasher-safe options cut water waste in comparison to hand washing.

Material variance

Some glass types are more dependable than others. Borosilicate glasses are better at handling temperature changes than standard glass. They have become popular choices for outdoor events and are long-lasting as well as durable.

Types

Custom wine glasses

Elegant custom wine glasses are often seen at formal events and during high-end promotions. They can have brand logos and messages printed or etched onto them. They are ideal for wine-tasting events and corporate get-togethers. These wine glasses are shaped in a way that enhances both flavor and aroma.

Logoed beer mugs

These sturdy mugs come with handles and tend to have engraved or printed brand logos. They are often used by pubs and breweries for special edition launches and can also be used to mark events and anniversaries. The thickness of these mugs ensures drinks can stay cold for longer.

Printed shot glasses

These glasses are designed with strong spirits in mind. You can use them to show off brand messages and promote new spirits. They are commonly seen at event giveaways. Although the glasses are small, they come in all sorts of designs and styles.

Bespoke water bottles

These bottles can be made from glass, metal, or plastic. They are reusable and designed to be used regularly. This means they can generate repeat brand exposure. They’re great for fitness and sustainability campaigns and popular with gyms providing gifts to their members. Reusable water bottles have become more popular over recent years as single-use plastics have declined in use.

Branded coffee mugs

These mugs are designed with daily use in mind and are ideal for morning routines. They tend to be made from ceramic materials and can have printed brand logos and messages added to them. The thickness and materials used to produce these mugs can influence how long coffee stays hot for.

Alternatives

Corporate events and conferences

If you’re hosting a meeting, convention, or seminar, branded glasses can be used as tokens of appreciation or keepsakes. However, you can also opt for branded notebooks, pins, and lanyards. Glasses can be ideal when you want to create a fun, engaging image and offer something that’s both memorable and practical.

Weddings and parties

Couples and hosts can mark special days by providing guests with glasses that have personalized dates or messages. You could also offer personalized napkins, custom coasters, and commemorative candles. Glasses are ideal for receptions where a lot of drinking is taking place and enable people to take home a useful, long-lasting memento.

Fundraisers and charity events

Charities often opt to generate awareness and funds by handing out glasses that feature their message or logo. You could also opt for branded tote bags, t-shirts, and wristbands, but glasses can be the best option when beverages are being consumed at fundraising events.

Bars, cafes, and restaurants

Establishments can provide patrons with glasses that feature their logo. This can boost brand recognition and loyalty. Also available are branded napkins, menu cards, and coasters. Nonetheless, glasses are directly linked to the main service offered by establishments that serve drinks, which can make them ideal as marketing resources.

Promotional giveaways

Companies often choose to distribute glasses as part of promotional campaigns in order to enhance brand visibility. Alternatives to branded glasses can include promotional keychains, mugs, and pens. If you think your audience is more likely to appreciate and use drinkware, it may be best to opt for glasses.

Product launches

If a business is launching a new beverage or product related to drinks, it can choose glasses to provide samples and deliver a long-lasting reminder of the product launch.

Nonetheless, branded pouches, cups, and bookmarks are also popular. This means they can boost the overall experience of drinking the product you’re launching.

Post Purchase Considerations

Design clarity

You may be worried about small details in your design or logo not being visible once printing has taken place. This is why it can be wise to choose simple designs or make smaller details larger.

Durability and longevity

Glassware can be fragile, and you may have concerns about it breaking. For these reasons, it’s wise to choose thicker glass of high quality. This can prevent breakages and protect your reputation.

Inconsistent branding

You could have concerns about the colors and design looking different from your other branded goods. To prevent this, work closely with your design team and see if you can access a test print or color samples.

Quantity management

Over-ordering can cause you to have excess stock, but you could disappoint guests at big events if you don’t order enough. If you are buying for an event, ordering a little extra than you think you’ll need can be sensible.

If you’re ordering for general distribution, you can always order more later if you do find you haven’t purchased enough goods to meet demand.

Storage

Glassware needs careful storage to prevent breakage and dust accumulation, and the glasses could chip or crack if they aren’t stacked correctly. This is why choosing a safe and clean environment for storage is so important. Try to keep the glasses in their original packaging until you require them.

Cleaning and maintenance

Branding can fade if glasses aren’t properly, especially if abrasive sponges are used. Make sure you include care instructions when distributing your glasses to employees and clients.

Soft cloths or sponges should be used. Don’t use abrasive detergents.
