What is a vector art file?
Here are some links for reference that may help with any questions: Vector vs. Raster Graphics and vector.
Please note that art does not become vector by placing a raster image into a vector-based program (Illustrator, etc.) or by saving a raster image in a vector format (Ex: saving a JPG as a PDF, Ai or EPS).
If you do not have a vector version of the art work, we are able to vector it for an hourly art fee of $40.00. We estimate 2 hrs. to vectorize your art.
Please note that you will receive the vector files once they are completed, as well as a pre-production digital proof for your approval.

If you encounter errors with oversized or wrong file types when uploading artwork, simply add the items to the cart without uploading the file, proceed with placing the order, and then email the art files as attachments in response to the order confirmation email.
Will I get the exact quantity I ordered?
As is standard for the industry, we have an overage/underage policy of either 12 pieces or 5% of the quantity ordered; whichever is higher. This means your order may ship up to 12 pieces or within 5% over or under the quantity you requested. You will only be billed for what is shipped. If you require an exact quantity, please contact us ASAP and let us know. There is an additional charge for an exact quantity shipment.
What if there is an event date?
If you have a time-sensitive order for an event, you must enter the Event Date on your order to ensure timely delivery. Please note that art files alone are not considered notification, so our Customer Service will not be aware of an Event Date unless you provide that information in the notes section of the order form or contact the Sales Department separately in writing. For any orders that you need to be delivered on a specific Event, please contact our Sales Department.
Are Rush Orders available?
If you require your purchase to arrive on a certain date but the expected delivery date does not work for you, please reach out to our Sales Department to find out about available rush options. Please note, there may be an additional fee for any rush production or shipping.
Do you offer Laser Engraving or Sand Blasting?
We do not offer engraving of any kind, however one of our most popular printing colors is the Satin Etch/Faux Etch. Traditional etching is not recommended for drinkware because of the slow production, costly process, and it undermines the integrity of the vessel. Satin Etch/Faux Etch is a frosted print of glass frit bonded to the glass surface. The print is very subtle and classy. Often it is used as a pour mark or line for major chain restaurants. On clear glass the print will be frosted in appearance and does have a textured feel to it but it is embossed onto the glass not engraved or cut into the glass. When printed on dark substrates the frosted print will be tonal to the substrate, again very subtle and almost indistinguishable from the color of the dark substrate, again it does have a textured feel to it but it is embossed onto the glass not engraved or cut into the glass.

Due to the nature of the print being transparent we will modify virtual proofs. When the print is on flint (clear) glass there will be a gray box outlining the vessel with white print to indicate the placement and sizing and on dark substrates we will show a gray color to see placement and sizing. There is not a way to show frosted or transparent prints on virtual proofs.
What if my order is for retail or residential purposes?
If your products are specifically intended to be retail or residential use, it is strongly recommended to use our Citric Acid Proof Series(CAPS) or full-color organic decals to protect your products from the harsh chemicals found in various consumer dishwasher detergents and additives.
Our organic decals are specially designed to withstand over 600 dishwasher cycles. They are fired onto the glass at approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit making them an ideal choice for major theme parks, museums, casinos, national parks, and other retailers that have products distributed worldwide. These decals are chemically resistant, providing long-lasting protection against acidic substances. However, please note that they can be susceptible to mechanical scratches caused by knives or other metal objects.
If you're looking for a more cost effective option, our Citric Acid Proof Series (CAPS) is the way to go. These are screen printed and fired in the same manner as standard ceramic enamel, ensuring that the logo will not scratch or fade, even if you intentionally use a knife or key on it. Additionally, the CAPS are specifically designed to be resistant to citric acid and other chemicals, guaranteeing their longevity. While our CAPS may have a slightly more matte appearance compared to standard glossy lead-free ceramic enamel, they offer unbeatable protection and durability from your dishwasher.
With either option enjoy worry-free cleaning without compromising the integrity of your dishwasher detergents. Trust our reliable and high-quality prints to keep your glass looking brand new, regardless of the harsh chemicals it encounters.
What is the difference between Screen Print Decal and Direct Screen Prints?
Mugs and glasses can be decorated with screen printing directly onto the surface or through the use of water slide decals, both utilizing the same type of "ink" but applied with different techniques. For screen printing, mugs are placed onto a cone-shaped holder and printed in a cylindrical fashion. Since every ceramic mug is individually hand crafted and glasses are produced using various molds, there can be slight variations in how they fit onto the cone. With single-color designs, minor shifts of up to 1/4 inch are typically not noticeable. However, with multi-color designs, this could result in one color overlapping another, such as red over black. Water slide decals are an alternative that mitigates this issue, as they are printed on a flat paper and then manually applied to each mug, allowing for precise placement. This method is also used for adding personalized names, locations, and other custom additions. Glass and Ceramic substrates are printed using 2 primary methods; ceramic enamel and organic epoxy. Ceramic enamel is only offered in individual spot colors often identified using the Pantone Matching System or PMS colors. Ceramic enamel is glass frit mixed with ceramic pigments and then fired onto the product at temperatures exceeding 1150 degrees Fahrenheit. Ceramic enamel can be printed in decals using up to 7 colors or direct screen print up to 5 colors. Organic epoxy colors are printed in spot colors as well as CMYK depending on the design. There is still a limit of 7 spot colors where as depending on the design CMYK can be used to sometimes achieve more colors but at close inspection they can considered pixelated do to the mixing of the CMYK colors.
What if my design has geometric shapes, such as circles or squares?
Your design with geometric shapes like circles or squares will appear distorted on cylindrical surfaces like cups. Circles will look more conical and squares will look more trapezoidal due to the shape of the cup. This distortion is a natural result of printing on curved surfaces and is not considered a defect.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY
How does shipping work at Glass & Growlers?
Important things to know about our shipping process:
- Freight quotes are estimates only and are subject to change based on changes in your order or delivery requirements.
- Delivery dates on your order confirmation are an estimated delivery date only, and not an appointment or guaranteed shipping, unless requested at time of order. If you require an appointment, or a guaranteed shipping date, please notify us immediately.
- If your address is a residential address, or does not have a loading dock and/or fork lift, you will REQUIRE a lift gate. If this is not communicated to us, it can result in a delay and a redelivery fee.
- If you contract a 3rd party carrier for shipping, Glass and Growlers is not liable for any freight claims or damages that may occur in transit. Once the freight has left our dock, we do not assume any further responsibility for the shipment. Any freight issues should be addressed directly with the carrier.
How will my items ship?
Glass orders over 100 lbs. will ship via LTL freight services. Anything less than 100 lbs. will typically go via FedEx small package, if product allows. Most apparel orders will ship via FedEx ground service.
How are my freight costs/shipping charges estimated?
Shipping charges vary depending on location, weight and time. Freight quotes are estimates only and are subject to change based on changes in your order or delivery requirements.
Why is my freight ‘estimated’?
Freight is estimated and may change based on variables not available to us at time of quoting. Certain destinations may require additional charges due to their remote locations, lift gate requirements, inside delivery requests and/or appointment requests. Our estimator only works for locations within the Continental USA. For freight quotes elsewhere, please contact us at [email protected].
What is a cancel date vs. guaranteed shipping?
Cancel date is the last date you may receive your shipment. Applying a Cancel Date to your order does not guarantee freight delivery on a specific date. Guaranteed Shipping is a service provided by the freight carrier to guarantee arrival of the shipment by a specific date. This service is an additional charge.
Is Blind Shipping available?
No, we do not offer special accommodations for blind shipment requests. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
What is an Accessorial?
An accessorial is an additional service provided by the freight company during delivery. These include, but are not limited to: inside delivery, lift gate, limited access, appointment request, residential, et al. Typically an accessorial costs an additional fee, and is paid for up front if requested before time of service, or following delivery service if requested on site.
What is Inside Delivery?
Any time a delivery has to move more than 10 feet from the truck, it is going to result in an “inside delivery” charge. This includes breaking down your shipment. When freight is delivered to a residential address, inside delivery can be assessed for moving the pallet to the driveway, porch or garage. Please note that drivers will not take freight inside a home.
What is a Lift Gate?
A lift gate is a platform at the back of the truck that can raise and lower a shipment using a hydraulic system. When the receiving address does not have a loading dock and/or a forklift, manual loading and unloading is necessary.
If your address is a residential address, or does not have a loading dock and/or fork lift, you will REQUIRE a lift gate. If this is not communicated to us, it can result in a delay and a redelivery fee.
What is Limited Access?
Generally speaking, limited access is defined as meeting any of the following conditions: not open to the walk-in public during normal business hours; not having personnel readily available; sites with security-related inspections and processes prior to freight delivery; location will require use of a small truck due to limited space (space isn’t easily maneuverable by a semi-truck in and out of your location).
Examples include: schools, military sites, small strip malls, rural route or out-of-town highway access locations, private residences, camps, churches, government facilities, farms, nursing homes, medical facilities, individual (mini) storage facilities.
Can I set an appointment or be notified prior to delivery?
Yes! For your convenience you can request an appointment for delivery. This request may delay your delivery by at least one or more business day(s). Please Note: if you miss your scheduled appointment, it may require one or more days to receive your delivery.
How do I know if my address is zoned for Residential or Commercial?
You can verify the zoning of your address by going to your local city/county government website.
Can you ship to APO addresses?
Yes. However, this generally takes longer than our normal shipping time frame. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.
Can I ship to an international address?
Yes! Glass and Growlers welcomes customers from all over the globe. Our shipping processes are a little different depending on the destination country.
- Canadian Customers: Glass and Growlers will arrange for your freight to arrive at your door. All you need to do is provide a customs broker of your choice. You are responsible for any duties, fees, and/or any other charges associated with the freight crossing the USA/Canada border. Glass and Growlers will provide you with the necessary NAFTA or other documentation for orders that require it.
- Non-Canadian International Customers: Given the complexity and various regulations across the rest of the globe, Glass and Growlers prefers to ship all non-Canadian international shipments as EXW (Ex Works) shipments. This means it is your responsibility to arrange a freight carrier to pick up from our facility in Las Vegas, NV. The title of the goods will transfer to the customer at our dock. If you do not have a preferred carrier/broker, we would be happy to provide a list of companies we have worked with in the past.
