Perfume bottle engraving is another way to make plain perfume bottles special. Write a name, date, a logo or a short word or phrase to turn plain glass perfume bottles into lovely gifts, samples or special fragrance packaging. Unlike stickers, the engraving remains on the bottle forever.
When engraving perfume bottles for a wedding, small fragrance project or even private label perfume bottles it is best to start with the perfume bottle itself. The shape, the glass finish and the surface area of the bottle all play a huge role in the end result of the engravement. A small curve can cause your logo to be crooked.
What Is Perfume Bottle Engraving?
Perfume bottle engraving is surface marking on perfume bottles. The marks made can be light or deep, subtle or large depending on the material and method used. Perfume bottle engraving is commonly used for custom perfume bottles, luxury perfume bottles and also for many personalized perfume gifts.
Engraving vs. Printing
Engraving – Engraving removes from the surface, Printing – Printing adds a layer of ink on the surface, Hot Stamping – Hot Stamping adds a foil finish in gold or silver and Frosted – Frosted gives a matt finish to glass. When wanting a name that won’t peel engraving is a good option, for color printing may be a better option.
What Types of Perfume Bottles Can Be Engraved?
Not all bottles are equal when it comes to engraving. Generally speaking, flat areas are much easier to engrave than rounded edges. Most clear glass, frosted glass, coated glass and metal parts can be engraved, but each one must be tested first.
Стеклянные парфюмерные бутылки
Engraving on Стеклянные парфюмерные бутылки is best done on smooth glass surfaces. Flat panels are ideal for engraving names, short words and logos. Frosted glass shows engraving marks more clearly than polished glass. Clear glass creates a very subtle look and is ideal for very simple designs.
Metal Caps and Atomizers
We can also engrave on metal caps, collars and atomizers. These small parts are ideal for engraving initials, batch numbers or a tiny logo. If the bottle has very curved sides then engraving on the cap may be safer.
How Do You Engrave Perfume Bottles?
Engraving perfume bottles can be done in two ways: laser engraving perfume bottles and using a rotary tool to engrave perfume bottles. Laser engraving is used for most neat and uniform jobs in batch production. The use of rotary tools is preferred for most handmade items.
Laser Engraving Perfume Bottles
Laser engraving perfume bottles is done by a focused laser beam. The laser can be made into glass, coating or metal. Because the laser is not pressed against the bottle there is no hand pressure risk. Good for logos, names, line art. Perfect for repeat orders. You would use a perfume bottle engraving machine when you are going to put the same design on many bottles.
Make sure to clean the bottle prior to engraving, remove dust, oil, etc. from surface and fingerprints. Also check your engraving design file. What might look so pretty in a computer program for small script on a 15 ml bottle might look a mess when actually engraved.
Rotary Tool Engraving
This type of engraving can be done with a rotary tool, fitted with an engraving pen or glass engraving tool. The diamond engraving bits are especially made for engraving glass. This type of engraving is very ‘handmade’ like and needs some control. Work with light pressure and move slowly and carefully. It’s very hard to hide a mistake when the first line is already wrong.
How Can You Prepare the Design?
The best design starts with thinking about the size that the design will be printed. A logo that looks good printed on a box might be to wide for a bottle. So keep it simple because small bottles are to small to print any big design on.
Choose the Right Text and Placement
Engraving a name on perfume bottle packaging is best done with short text. First names, initials, dates and short words are all suitable for engraving on perfume bottle packaging. For the logo on perfume bottles the front center is the most common place to engrave a logo. However, if you want a more subtle look then engraving a logo on the shoulder, cap or back panel of a perfume bottle can be a great alternative. When it comes to the size of the text required for perfume bottle engraving, it’s worth noting that smaller bottles such as 30ml require larger text to read than larger bottles such as 100ml.
Test Before Bulk Production
Test samples before you start mass producing the bottles. The glass thickness, coating and color can all affect the results. For example, a strong contrast will be apparent with a black coating, whereas clear glass will have a softer look. By testing your samples first, you can save a lot of bottles, time and stress.
Why Do Bottle Quality and Supplier Choice Matter?
Engraving requires a surface to engrave. Bad glass, loose caps, uneven coating or weak spray parts will ruin your engraving. A custom fragrance bottle needs to look good and feel good in your hand.

How Can Engraving Improve Custom Fragrance Packaging?
Personal touch by engraving makes your packaging look more individual and careful.
