Buying guides

If you are about to order branded glassware and you are not sure which shape, how many, or how it should be decorated, start here.

These are the questions buyers actually ask us before placing a first order. Each guide is short and written for someone spending real money on a case or ten, not a shopper browsing for one glass.

• The best glass for bourbon, IPA, and wine — which shape suits which drink, and what that means when you are picking glasses to brand.
• Glencairn vs copita — the two classic nosing glasses compared for a distillery deciding which one carries its logo.
• Engraving vs screen printing — when a frosted laser mark beats full-color print, and when it doesn't.
• How many glasses for your taproom — sizing a first order so you are not reordering in a month or sitting on dead stock.
• Case quantities and minimums explained — how cases work, what the minimum is, and how price moves with volume.
