Customization and Logo Options
Most wedding buyers want a logo or monogram on the glass, and the method depends on your quantity and budget.
- > Screen printing: the standard choice for single-color names, dates, or monograms. Best value at volume.
- > UV varnishing and clear-surface printing: sharper detail and a raised finish; suited to photo-style or multi-color artwork.
- > Frosted or etched-look finishes: a matte band or logo that reads as premium without the cost of true etching.
For our transparent glass whiskey shot glasses (280-310ml, classic party style), we accept customized logos at an MOQ of 50 pieces and $0.65 per unit. The Crystal for Glass 150ML ultra-thin set also takes customization at 48 pieces, $0.95 each.
Send vector artwork (AI, PDF, or EPS) and confirm placement before sampling. We recommend a physical pre-production sample for any wedding order, because screen color on clear glass shifts slightly under venue lighting. Artwork approval usually takes 1-2 business days; production runs 15-25 days depending on finish.
Pricing and Minimum Order Quantities
Wedding orders are often smaller than retail wholesale, so MOQ is usually the first question. Our honest numbers:
- > Transparent glass whiskey shot glasses, 280-310ml, custom logo: $0.65/pc, MOQ 50.
- > Father/birthday/anniversary shot glass, same capacity, customized logo: $0.65/pc, MOQ 50.
- > Crystal for Glass 150ML ultra-thin multi-color gift set: $0.95/pc, MOQ 48.
- > Craft DIY case-bound photo album (bar/scrapbook use): $2.28/pc, MOQ 500.
Prices are FOB and exclude freight, duties, and any third-party testing. Customization adds a one-time setup fee per logo, quoted after we see the artwork. Above roughly 1,000 pieces, unit cost drops, but we do not publish a fake tier price before confirming the finish.
Be wary of quotes far below these figures; they usually mean thinner glass or skipped annealing. Ask for a breakage rate in writing.
Practical Buying Advice for Wedding Orders
A few things we have learned from wedding buyers over the years.
- > Order 5-10% spares. Breakage in transit and at the venue is normal; running short on the day is not fixable.
- > Confirm packing. Individual polyfoam or molded pulp inserts cost a little more but cut damage claims sharply.
- > Match glass to use. A 280-310ml shot glass suits toasts and favors; a 150ml ultra-thin set suits a formal table.
- > Check lead time against your date. Build in a two-week buffer before the wedding.
- > Request a mixed sample box first. Photos mislead on glass thickness and rim feel.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom wine glasses for wedding favors?
Our lowest MOQ is 48 pieces for the Crystal for Glass 150ML ultra-thin set at $0.95 each. The 280-310ml whiskey shot glasses with custom logo start at 50 pieces at $0.65 each, which suits most wedding favor runs.
Can you print names or dates on each glass individually?
Yes, but individual personalization is priced differently from a single shared logo. Screen printing one design across the run is the economical option; per-piece variable text requires digital printing and a higher setup. Send your list and we will quote both.
How long does production take for a wedding order?
Standard production runs 15-25 days after artwork approval, plus shipping time from Hangzhou. We recommend ordering at least 8-10 weeks before the event and requesting a pre-production sample, which adds roughly one week.
