What is a frosted glass bottle?

The idea of vague beauty applies to a glass bottle. This makes a glass bottle semi-transparent. Frosting may help improve the value of your glass bottle packaging, by making it premium.


What are normal crafts to frost a glass bottle?

Frosted glass bottles can be made from two main types of crafts, sandblasting or acid etching. Both crafts create a pitted surface on one side of the glass. Frosting offers the effect of rendering the glass translucent by scattering the light which passes through, thus blurring images while still transmitting light.

The opacity is usually kept at 10-20%.

MOQ of sandblasting glass bottles is around 3,000 to 5,000 pieces.

MOQ of acid etching glass bottles usually starts from 10,000 pieces.


Are frosted glass bottles recyclable? Which craft should I choose?

Frosted glass bottles made by acid chemical etching can not be recycled because of chemical contaminants. With a responsibility to achieve a sustainable future, we suggest you choose to sandblast craft.


The extra cost of frosted glass bottles

The cost of frosting each glass bottle varies from $0.02~0.12 according to the size of the glass bottle.
