• Layout and typography
• Quoting and invoicing for business clients
• Meeting deadlines on bulk orders

• A misspelled name on an award means a lost piece, so always get written proof approval
• Check zoning and any business license needed for a workshop or commercial unit with your city or county
• Laser and sandblasting equipment needs proper ventilation and dust control, so check safety requirements
• Check general liability insurance, and sales tax rules for resale or business customers in your state

Startup costs are typically estimated at around $3,000 to $15,000, depending on whether you choose laser or sandblasting equipment, your workshop or unit, and how much glass stock you hold.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $1,500 to $7,500, depending on the number of repeat business, school and club clients and the size of their orders. The estimate assumes at least around 15 hours a week.

Check zoning and any business license for a workshop or commercial unit with your city or county. Also check ventilation and dust control for laser and sandblasting equipment, general liability insurance, and your state's sales tax rules for business customers.
