Whisky glass engraving: Team Verwater
In August 2022, we engraved a 20 cl whisky glass for Frits Houdkamp of Verwater with the names Team Verwater and ExxonMobil. A follow-up order for two red wine glasses carrying the same names came in November.
Choose the glass first
For the initial order, Frits could choose from three glass models. Once the whisky glass was selected, we agreed the text placement. The centre position and letter height in relation to the glass were checked before engraving.
The same names on a different shape
Whisky glasses and wine glasses have different proportions. For the follow-up order, we reviewed placement again so that the names suited the wine glass bowl. With glass engraving, the chosen model and the artwork are considered together.
A completed order and a follow-up
The first glass was ready on 31 August 2022. The two red wine glasses followed in November, with the result shared on 23 November. The project therefore comprised three glasses across two orders. For similar personalised corporate gifts, we agree the model, names and quantities beforehand.

Questions about this project
Can the same wording be engraved on different glasses?
Yes, but the layout is reviewed for each model. A tall wine glass bowl needs different proportions from a low whisky glass.
Does the glass model need to be decided first?
We need to know the selected glass to create a suitable layout. In this project, the model was chosen before the wording was positioned.
