Custom Shot Glasses, From People Who Print Barware
The shot glass is the little souvenir that refuses to be thrown away. People collect them from cities, bars, and weddings the way others collect magnets — they end up on a shelf, a display rack, or in a cabinet, kept for the memory long after the drink. That collectibility is exactly why a branded shot glass punches above its tiny cost: it’s a keepsake that happens to carry your logo.
Styles and sizes
The standard shot glass holds about 1.5oz — the classic single-shot pour — in a heavy-based, tapered form. Tall (shooter) glasses hold a bit more with a slimmer profile; novelty shapes, tint, and figural designs add personality for events and souvenirs. Heavy bases and thick walls read premium and survive a bar; thin glass is cheaper for favors.
Printing
Options range from durable single- or multi-color printing to full-color wraps, frosted etching for an upscale look, and metallic inks. Simple, bold logos reproduce best on the small curved surface. Shot glasses fit events, bars, and weddings, and pair with other barware like pint glasses and wine glasses.

Frequently asked
How much do custom shot glasses cost?
Custom shot glasses typically run $2–$8 each depending on style, printing, and quantity, dropping in bulk. Standard printed glasses are most economical; full-color wraps, frosted etching, and novelty shapes cost more. They offer high keepsake value for a low unit cost, making them affordable favors and bar merchandise.
What size is a standard shot glass?
A standard shot glass holds about 1.5 ounces (44ml), the classic single-shot pour in the US. Tall 'shooter' glasses hold slightly more with a slimmer profile, while some novelty and double shot glasses hold 2–3 ounces. The 1.5oz standard is the most common for bar use and custom orders.
How are logos printed on shot glasses?
Shot glasses are decorated by screen printing for durable single- or multi-color logos, full-color wraps for edge-to-edge designs, or frosted etching for an upscale look. Simple, bold logos reproduce best on the small curved surface. Confirm dishwasher durability if the glasses will see repeated bar use.
