Custom 18″ 7mm Sandblast St w/ Box

The Custom 18" 7mm Sandblast Straight Tube is a wholesale bong order designed for smoke shops, dispensaries, and cannabis brands that want branded inventory without the hassle of custom mold fees. This 200-unit bulk purchase delivers thick, durable glass with your logo or artwork permanently sandblasted into the surface — not printed, not decaled, but carved directly into the glass where it stays sharp through years of cleaning and daily handling.

At 7mm thickness throughout, these straight tubes are built for the reality of retail environments where glass gets handled by dozens of customers before it sells. The sandblast etching process creates a frosted, tactile finish that won't peel, fade, or wash off no matter how many iso baths the piece goes through. Each unit ships with an 18mm glass flower bowl, a glass downstem, and a custom-printed box ready for shelf display or checkout handoff.

Key benefits

  • 7mm glass thickness throughout — survives countertop drops, clumsy browsers, and the daily chaos of a busy shop without shattering on first impact like thinner production glass
  • Permanent sandblast etching — your logo gets carved into the glass surface, creating a matte frosted finish that contrasts with clear glass and lasts through countless cleanings
  • 18-inch straight tube design — tall enough for effective smoke cooling but not so massive it dominates display cases or intimidates first-time buyers
  • Ready to sell out of the box — includes 18mm bowl and downstem so you're not hunting for compatible accessories or dealing with joint size mismatches
  • Custom branded packaging — printed boxes protect inventory during shipping and turn every sale into a walking advertisement for your shop or brand
  • Wholesale MOQ that makes sense — 200 units at bulk pricing works for stocking multiple locations, launching a house brand, or building event merch inventory

Best for

This order makes sense for smoke shop owners tired of selling the same generic glass as every competitor on the block. It's built for dispensary buyers who want house-branded pieces their customers will actually use, and for cannabis brands trying to get their logo in front of consumers every time someone packs a bowl. Also works well for event merchandise, loyalty program giveaways, or launching a private-label product line without the overhead of custom tooling.

How sandblast etching works

Sandblasting uses high-pressure abrasive material to carve designs directly into the glass surface. Unlike screen printing or vinyl decals that sit on top of the glass, the etched design becomes part of the glass itself. The result is a permanent, tactile finish with a matte frosted appearance that contrasts sharply against the surrounding clear glass.

This permanence matters for retail pieces. Your branding survives alcohol soaks, salt scrubs, and years of heavy use without degrading. Customers can clean these pieces aggressively and the logo stays crisp. Try that with a printed decal — it peels after the third cleaning.

The process works well for detailed logos, text, shop names, strain artwork, or mascot designs. Larger designs with more surface coverage create more dramatic visual contrast. Full wraps and prominent logos stand out more than small corner stamps, so think about design placement when finalizing artwork.

The straight tube advantage

There's a reason straight tubes remain the most popular bong design in smoke shops: they work, they're easy to clean, and they don't intimidate casual buyers the way elaborate percolator rigs can. The 18-inch height provides enough distance between the bowl and your mouth for meaningful smoke cooling, while the simple vertical design means cleaning takes five minutes instead of twenty.

Pour in some isopropyl alcohol, add coarse salt, cover both openings, shake it around for a minute, rinse with warm water, and you're done. No intricate percolator chambers to scrub, no bent tubes where resin hides, no tiny holes that clog and refuse to clear. This simplicity is a selling point for customers who want reliable daily drivers, not museum pieces.

The 18mm female joint is the industry standard for flower pieces. Replacement bowls and downstems are available everywhere, which means when a customer inevitably breaks their bowl, they can find a replacement at any smoke shop without special ordering. This compatibility keeps customers happy and reduces post-sale headaches for your staff.

Custom packaging details

Every unit ships in a custom-printed box that does double duty: it protects the glass during shipping and storage, and it turns every checkout into a branding opportunity. When customers walk out carrying a boxed piece, they're carrying a billboard for your shop or brand.

Custom boxes also solve the awkward moment at checkout when you'd otherwise be wrapping glass in newspaper and hoping it survives the car ride home. Professional packaging signals to customers that they're buying something worth protecting, which justifies the price point and reduces the likelihood of "I want to return this" conversations later.

What's included

  • 200 glass downstems
  • 200 custom printed boxes (one per unit)

Compatibility notes

The 18mm female joint accepts standard 18mm male bowls, which covers most flower bowls on the market. This is a flower-focused piece — the included bowl is built for dry herb, not concentrates. If your customer base skews toward dabbers, they'll need to grab a quartz banger separately, but honestly this design targets traditional flower smokers.

The 7mm thickness adds weight, which actually helps stability on display shelves and countertops. These won't tip over from a stiff breeze or a careless elbow the way thinner glass might. The straight tube accommodates standard grinders and packing tools without awkward angles.

Cleaning and care

Let the piece cool after use, then rinse with warm water to clear loose debris. For deeper cleaning, fill with isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher), add coarse salt, cover both openings, and shake. The salt provides abrasion while the alcohol dissolves resin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and air dry. The sandblast etching is permanent — alcohol and scrubbing won't affect it.

What this order is and isn't

This is wholesale inventory for shops and brands, not a single-unit purchase for personal use. The 200-piece minimum order quantity targets buyers who need volume at a price point that makes financial sense for resale.

The straight tube design is deliberately simple. No percolators, no recycler functions, no elaborate color work. If you're sourcing high-end heady glass or scientific filtration pieces, look elsewhere. This is about reliable, branded inventory that sells at accessible price points and holds up to daily retail handling.

Sandblasting is permanent, so finalize your artwork before production starts. Changes after etching begins aren't possible. Custom orders also mean longer lead times than grabbing stock inventory — budget time for production, quality control, box printing, and shipping.

Frequently asked questions

What's the typical turnaround time for a 200-unit order?

Expect 4-8 weeks from artwork approval to delivery, depending on design complexity and the manufacturer's current production queue. This includes glass production, sandblast etching, quality inspection, custom box printing, and packaging. If you need pieces by a specific date — a store opening, a 4/20 event, a product launch — communicate that deadline upfront and build buffer time for potential delays.

Can I split the 200 units across different designs?

Policies vary by manufacturer. Some allow split orders within the same MOQ (like 100 with one logo, 100 with another), though this may increase per-unit costs since each design requires separate setup. Mixing sizes (100 at 18 inches, 100 at 12 inches) typically counts as separate orders with separate minimums. Confirm specifics before finalizing.

Is there room to negotiate on larger orders?

At 500+ units or with committed reorder agreements, there's usually room to negotiate lower per-unit pricing. Bulk discounts improve at higher volumes, and manufacturers often offer better rates for repeat customers. If you're planning significant annual volume, bring those numbers to the conversation.

What are the custom box printing limitations?

Most manufacturers handle full-color exterior printing, including logos, product photos, strain names, and standard design elements. Specialty finishes like metallic foiling or embossing typically cost extra. Submit high-resolution artwork files (300 DPI minimum) in vector format (AI, EPS, or PDF) for the cleanest results.

Can customers find replacement bowls and downstems easily?

The 18mm joint size is the industry standard for flower bongs. Replacement parts are widely available at smoke shops everywhere and through online retailers. If you want to stock branded replacement accessories, you can order extra bowls and downstems from the same manufacturer — gives you an upsell opportunity at checkout too.

Can I get a sample before committing to the full order?

Most manufacturers offer sample units for a fee, usually 1-3 pieces at a higher per-unit cost. This lets you evaluate sandblast quality, glass thickness, and overall construction before greenlighting bulk production. Given the investment, spending extra on a sample to avoid surprises is worth it. Request samples early enough to allow time for any design adjustments.

How should I store 200 glass bongs without breaking half of them?

Keep pieces in their custom boxes, stacked on pallets or sturdy shelving. Don't stack more than 5-6 boxes high without reinforced support — glass is heavy and pressure compounds. Store in climate-controlled space to avoid temperature swings that stress glass. For transport between locations, wrap stacked boxes in stretch film to keep them stable. Dedicate storage space away from high-traffic areas where forklifts or carts might clip your inventory.
