Designs That Live in the Glass
Personalisation doesn’t have to leave a mark on the planet. Our Etching Service creates timeless designs directly into the surface of our glass bottles, no inks, no labels, no coatings. Just the bottle, your design, and a finish as enduring as the glass itself.
Precision-etched for a bespoke, tactile result that will never fade or peel. The process adds nothing extra, only character, meaning, and your story.
Why Choose Etching?
Minimal Impact – No extra materials or chemicals, only the natural surface of the glass.
Long-Lasting – Etching becomes part of the bottle itself, designed to endure for years.
Elegant & Functional – Perfect for branding, product names, or personal touches.
Conscious Craft – Each piece is thoughtfully made.
FAQ
Glass etching is the process of permanently marking the surface of glass by gently removing a thin layer to create a frosted, tactile design. At Kuishi, we use precision techniques to etch directly onto our bottles, creating a finish that becomes part of the glass itself.
Unlike printing or labelling, there are no inks, coatings, or adhesives, just your design, embedded in the glass for a result that will never fade or peel. It’s a refined way to add logos, text, or artwork while keeping the bottle pure, sustainable, and enduring.
Our glass etching prices are based on the complexity of your design.
- Simple – Company name and product type (for example, “Shampoo”) on one side – £5 per bottle.
- Medium – Larger logo, text, or a design that extends beyond one side – £7 per bottle.
- Complex – Designs covering the front and back, or a full 360° layout – £9 per bottle.
Please note, these prices are for etching only and do not include the cost of the bottle.
Bulk Orders

Etching is a permanent, tactile finish created by marking the surface of the glass itself. Because the design becomes part of the bottle, etched glass offers a refined, long-lasting alternative that’s both durable and sustainable. It’s a pure form of personalisation that keeps the beauty of the glass intact.
Etching adds nothing extra to the bottle, no inks, labels, plastics, or coatings, just the design, embedded in the glass itself. This means there’s no additional material to produce, no adhesives to dispose of, and nothing to wear away over time.
By pairing this process with our bottles made from 45% recycled glass sourced in the UK and Europe, etching offers a refined way to personalise while keeping environmental impact to a minimum.
Yes. We can produce a sample etched bottle so you can see the quality, detail, and finish before committing to a full order. This allows you to check the design, placement, and scale, ensuring every detail meets your expectations.
The cost for a sample is £30.00, which covers the etching process and the bottle. If you proceed with a large order, this fee will be applied towards the artwork costs. Please note, shipping costs are not included in the sample price.
Yes. We can etch a wide range of designs, from a range of text to logos and illustrations. Our etching process works best with bold, clear elements, ensuring your design is easy to read, tactile, and permanent.
Etching Design Guidelines
- Avoid small or fine text.
- Bold logos and clear fonts yield the best etched results.
- All files will be reviewed and adjusted as needed for clarity and consistency.

Yes. We offer two options to help you prepare your design for etching:
1. Using Our In-House Design Team
If you can provide your logo in vector format (e.g. .AI, .EPS, .SVG), our design team can prepare the artwork for etching. This includes:
- Adding any required text in your preferred font (or a font that complements your branding)
- Preparing the file for production
Cost: £30 per hour (incl. VAT)
Simple designs, like the example provided, typically take no more than 1 hour. We’ll confirm the expected costs with you before we begin.
2. Supplying Your Own Design
You’re welcome to provide your own design at no additional charge. We’ll supply an Adobe Illustrator template and clear setup instructions for your designer.
Logo Prep Fee: £10 (incl. VAT) to prepare your file for our systems.
No. There is no minimum order quantity for our glass etching service, you can order a single bottle or as many as you need. This makes it easy to create one-off personalised pieces or to start small before placing a larger order.
Our lead time for etched bottles is typically 1–3 weeks from artwork approval. This may vary depending on the complexity of the design and the size of your order. If you have a specific deadline, please let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.
