Safety Notes for Retailers and Consumers:

Filled growlers can shatter or explode if allowed to warm or freeze, especially if they are overfilled.
The internal pressure of a filled growler warmed to room temperature (68F) or in a hot car (90F) may be as high as 2.0 atm (29 psi) or 3.7 atm (52 PSIG) respectively.
(Example assumes a growler filled to 99% of capacity with beer at 38F containing 2.5 volumes CO2, and then sealed).
Brewers Association recommends only use growler containers specifically designed for packaged carbonated beer and ask the container supplier to verify that the pressure   rating is equal to or greater than the pressure from the carbonation in the beer being filled.
Many containers currently in use are not designed for carbonated beverages.
If filling by counter-pressure, know the pressure rating of the system used and ensure the system includes shielding between the growler being filled and people nearby in   case of failure
Do not overfill a growler.
Always leave 5% headspace or fill to the manufacturer’s recommended fill line if one is shown.
For growlers with threaded screw-on closures, consider using plastic rather than metal closures; plastic closures may vent more readily if over pressurization occurs; if using   metal closures, you may wish to discuss this issue with your supplier. Keep filled growlers cold and dark, and never allow a filled growler to warm or to freeze, due to potentially hazardous shattering.
Visually inspect every growler before filling.
Do not fill glass or ceramic growlers with cracks or chips, those which have been engraved, or older growlers with pitted or unsmooth glass surfaces, as the pressure strength   of these growlers will be significantly reduced.
When growlers are not in use, clean with hot water, store in a dry place, store in a temperature-controlled room with a cap off.

Slight variations in glassware are considered normal such as waviness, small bubbles, variations in wall thickness, and the thickness of the rim of the glass.
These are not considered flaws and do not qualify as such. Rustic Ceramic line is a handcrafted reactive glazed line-
Each mug is unique and varies from mug to mug.
Variance in glaze, streaks, spotting, etc. are considered normal and not flaws due to the nature of the reactive glaze. It is the responsibility of the customer or end-user of the products they purchase to fully examine the functionality of the product/s purchased from our company.
This can be done by first ordering a sample and seeing the product, feeling the product, and deciding it will work and be functional for the use intended.

There is a chance your design may print over top of a seam in the glassware, we try to avoid this but sometimes it is unavoidable. This is not considered a flaw.
