I have a cutomer that is bringing me 144 champagne glasses. I use to pad print on them, but I would like to etch them with the blaster I bought from Bob at the meet in Oklahoma.

Can anyone advise me on how to price it. It is a pretty detailed logo. But I have no idea of a ball park type price.

Thanks for all your help

Hi Ronda! Glad to see you posting.

Man that's tough one. Champagne glasses are usually pretty thin and tall. So your available area is kinda tiny, with a detailed logo that can spell headache pretty quick.

I would call Bob Pickard and ask him, he does that stuff everyday. So he probably has a better idea of what the market will bear.

Sorry I don't have any better advice for you.

Rhonda, how do you like your Pab Blaster? I bought one a few months ago and unfortunately have not had time to practice much with it. I LOVE mine!! Sorry, but I can't help you either. I would go online and do a search for the going prices on such jobs.

I can't wait to get going with some glass art. Super outfit isn't it?

How long do you figure that it will take you to blast them and how much in materials?

I don't know how well I like the PABA yet, I have not used it. But I am sure I will be happy.

I have no idea how long it would take to blast them. I could print them alot faster, but I thought this would be cool for the customer if they were willing to pay for it.

I'll call Bob this week and see what he thinks. I may blast just a few for her to show her how cool they are!!!

I'll let you know how many I blow up!

bought a paashe air eraser back about 4 years ago, was going to tinker into this, and have used it a little bit. i have charged 3-7 per glass for etching.

of course it depends on the design and quantity. i would layout designs and plot it on vinyl place on glass and blast. very quick simple!

the less the quantity the more the price. kinda like screenprinting. hope this helps!
