Care Instructions for Engraved Glass

Laser engraved glassware is designed for everyday use.
Because the design is etched directly into the surface of the glass, the engraving itself requires no special care.

The following recommendations help keep the glassware looking its best over time.

Dishwasher safety

Engraved glassware is dishwasher safe.

The engraved design will not fade, peel, or wash away during normal dishwasher use.
For best results, place glassware securely to prevent movement or impact during washing.

Hand washing recommendations

While dishwasher use is safe, hand washing may help preserve the overall appearance of the glass for a longer period.

  • use mild dish soap
  • avoid abrasive sponges or scrubbers
  • dry with a soft cloth if desired

These steps are optional and focus on the glass itself, not the engraving.

Temperature considerations

Laser engraving is unaffected by hot or cold beverages.

However, to protect the glass:

  • avoid sudden extreme temperature changes
  • allow frozen or heated glassware to adjust gradually

This helps prevent thermal stress on the glass.

Storage and handling

To reduce the risk of chips or cracks:

  • store glassware upright
  • avoid stacking without protection
  • handle with care on hard surfaces

The engraving will remain intact even with regular handling.

What to avoid

To protect the glass or tumbler(not the engraving), avoid:

  • abrasive cleaning tools
  • harsh chemical cleaners
  • dropping or striking the glass

Physical damage to the glass may affect the engraved area, just as it would affect any glass item.

Why engraving does not require special care

Because laser engraving permanently alters the glass surface, there is no coating or applied layer that can wear away.

The design will remain visible for the lifetime of the product.
