While most companies laser engrave glassware, resulting in a dull, scratchy finish, we take a different approach. At Premier Awards, we’re committed to delivering superior quality, which is why we use sandblast engraving. The difference is striking! Sandblasting produces a crisp, clean, and elegant result that stands out. We believe our customers deserve the highest standard, and we never compromise on quality.

When you compare side by side, laser engraving is a dramatically inferior process to sandblasting. Through continuous production improvements and increased efficiency, we can offer our customers a superior sandblasting engraving process on all our glass products.
