All About the Etching Process

We often get asked that question involving our custom etching process of wine bottles. individuals are astounded at the sudden detail associate degreed quality. usually the reaction is one amongst curiosity regarding however they’re produced. therefore I believed we have a tendency to pull back the curtain a touch and share how we create custom etched wine bottles.

We use a sand-carving etching methodology. this is often primarily sand blasting: mistreatment an abrasive media stressed to “carve” the glass. There are many etching strategies adore mechanical, chemical and laser. we have a tendency to discuss these methods in another journal post that you can read here.

Our most popular method is sand-carving since it produces the simplest results for the aim of custom decorating glass bottles.

The beginning in etching is to own nice artwork. sensible results continuously come from good design. All art is regenerate to vector format. Vector may be a digital format that permits for precise edges and ascendable art. The art is written on a transparency that’s paired with a movie. the planning on the transparency and also the film are then light-weight exposed very similar to a film during a camera (see image

The film is processed through a laundry process, rather like a film negative. The film is then positioned on the glass and therefore the the} covering is removed effort a rubbery mask on the glass. The mask contains the planning associate degreed protects the glass. the remainder of the bottle is then taped to shield it from overspray throughout the etching method.

The bottle is then placed in an etching cupboard for processing. this is often a self-contained machine that keeps the abrasive media (“sand”) in an internal area whereas also protective the technician during etching. The abrasive is projected out of a hose mistreatment hard-hitting air–much sort of a hose solely abrasive and air are directed out. Our machine is re-circulating, therefore the abrasive media is recycled persistently over. The mask on the bottle protects the great components of the glass whereas allowing the abrasive to chop into the parts of the glass that we wish to transfer the planning

Once etched, the bottles are hand painted. a large advantage of sand carving is that the depth that may be obtained into the glass. That’s why we have a tendency to decision it “deep etching.” This creates enough of a recess to fill with paint, allowing colorful styles. With alternative etching methods, adore optical maser etching—which solely scratches the surface of the glass–so you don’t see same colourful results.

Finally the bottles are cleansed of excess paint, mask and tape residue and prepared for presentation as simply “the good gift.” avowedly we have a tendency to are somewhat biased, however we predict the tip result’s a gorgeous custom keepsake.
