The two questions we get asked most often are "what's the difference?" and "which one should I pick?", and the honest answer depends on the material and how bold you want the design to look.
Laser etching is a shallow, frosted mark, subtle, elegant, and the right call for everyday glassware people actually wash and use. Sandblasting goes deeper and works especially well on alcohol bottles, tempered glass, or when you want the option to fill the design with color afterward, like our popular Antique Gold fill. Neither is "better", they're just suited to different jobs, and we'll always point you toward the one that fits your item.
