Bottled up some of our last batch Thursday night in some of our new glass bottles. Surpisingly enough its our lightest batch of the season.

Very nice I am thinking about having some made next year. There is a guy right near me that has a laser engraver I think they charge by the square inch not sure. Where did you get the blank bottles? Leader?

One of my clients sells syrup in extravagant bottles for a ridiculous price and gets it. I think this etching idea is fantastic thank you for sharing.

I actually did the etching myself. I make my own stencils and put them through my sandblaster. We had a small box of glass on hand so I figured I'd etch them up and see how they come out. We are hoping to do more of these next year.

The cost would depend on how complex the design is. Etching with sand it a longer process than laser but produces a nicer result.

These look great! Glass bottle prices are way too high for us anymore. I get to rummage through the boxes at our suppliers and see what's around and sometimes get a good deal. Check out Burch Bottling here in N.Y.S. for better prices. What do you ask for these retail? We get $10.00.
