Vinyl for glasses

[sign girl]

I have a customer that owns a bar and wants to letter 30 glasses. Is there a vinyl that would withstand a dishwasher?

bar dishwashers are pretty harsh. My gut reaction is 'no'

Your best bet is to find someone with a circular screen press and use safe inks for both dishwashing and contamination.

Acid etch.

Yup, screen print or laser engraving.

Ya know, after thinking about this..... I don't think the dishwasher would be my biggest concern...... more the jokers sitting ion the other side of the bar, peeling everything off, thinking they were clever, when all they were was..... DRUNK.

I would be very wary of using vinyl on glasses, at least your typical sign vinyl. I tried that once and the next day I woke-up with my eyes swollen shut. Had an allergic reaction. not 100% sure it was the vinyl, but certain enough I wouldn't try that again. lol

Sandblast etching would look the nicest...

I have an Etsy shop on the side and we sell sandblasted pint glasses. We tried the cream etching stuff and found out the first try that it doesn't work well at all. Now we use a sandblaster. If you decide to go that route, let me know if you have any questions. I sent the OP a PM offering to make them but the shipping alone would probably make the cost too high to resell at what her customer may want to pay for bar glasses.
