How can VRC offer such low prices for custom charms?
Since 1998, Vine Ripe Charms (VRC Co.) has been the nations' largest manufacturer of wine charms. We have produced hundreds of thousands of wine charms for a vast majority of the world most prestigious companies. We pull from this experience to work within any budget to deliver a quality logo wine charm in a timely manner.
What are some of the different ways you have created custom wine charms?
Since our clients determine their own budget, we have worked with many different mediums to meet their price points. On past projects, we have used everything from 24k gold charms and real diamonds to acrylic beads and imitation finishes. Our clients' projects have allowed us to experience a vast range of ideas and have created some very memorable sets of wine charms.
What is the difference between Custom charms and Semi-Custom charms?
Full Custom Charms are completely unique and are your design and yours alone. We take your logo and can create any size, shape and design logo charm you require. The charm can be finished in any number of plating options and can contain unlimited colors if desired. While the set-up for a Fully Custom wine charm is a bit more, the overall cost is absorbed when purchasing larger quantities of charms (over 250 pieces). Usual turn around time can be as little as 2 weeks but can take up to 6 weeks, depending on your design, quantities and schedule.
Semi-Custom wine charms are a quick and affordable way to get logo wine charms in as little as two weeks! We have a very unique program and machine that allows us to create your logo into either a circle, square or diamond shape. Our charms are available in either gold or silver and have a simple $75 design fee. This makes our semi-custom wine charms affordable in smaller orders. Semi-custom is perfect for wine charm orders under 250 pieces and generally take only two weeks. This is a favorite for Bride's and are perfect for Wedding Wine Charms.
Do most businesses choose sets or individual wine charms?
Most businesses choose sets of wine charms. They often choose from our stock of 10,000 wine charms and then incorporate their logo charm into the group. However, we also have a large clientele that enjoys giving their customers one logo charm in a different finish every year. This creates an anticipated gift that the recipient looks forward to collecting each year.
How can you package the charms?
Wow, that's a big question. We have packaged charms in hundreds of different ways. Some of our past favorites have included tins, velvet or organza bags, pillow boxes and acrylic boxes in numerous shapes. One client even had their charms packaged in a margarita glass. Now that was festive!
For sets of six, we also offer our award winning Vine Ripe Charms gift box.
What finishes do you offer?
We have the largest selection of finishes available for you to choose from:

What kind of beads do you offer?
Wow, that's another big question. We have used over 5000 different types of beads! Generally, we used either acrylic, glass or Swarvoski crystal beads. We can offer your wine charm a variety of beads in pretty much any color you are interested in. |

Who buys from you and for what occasions?
Well first of all, we are the the largest manufacturer of wine charms in the Nation. We would like to think in the world, but we haven't exactly verified that yet. So we supply wine charms to countless stores, promotional companies, event planners, wedding coordinators, corporations and businesses of all sizes.
Our custom logo wine charms are a huge hit with brides and wedding coordinators. They order them in their wedding colors with the date or their names. They make great reception gifts. One bride had their wedding date on the front of the charm and the words "Thank you for sharing our special day" on the back. These were packaged in a tin heart with satin bows. Stunning...
Business and corporations purchase our custom logo wine glass charms for promotional gifts. They send them out for the holidays or use them to announce upcoming special events. The are great for conventions, luncheons and banquets. Don't forget wine charms are not only for wine glasses. You can use them on coffee cups, tea cups or any glass that has a stem. One client was having a convention in Mexico and ordered their logo wine charms to use on margarita glasses. Another used their logo charms to adorn 2500 Mai Tai glasses in Hawaii.
Every time someone drinks from a glass with YOUR logo Wine Charm they are reminded where they got it.

How long does it take?
Hmmm. We were wondering how long until you asked that very important question. The fastest we have ever turned around a project was 3 weeks (7000 charms). The client was wonderful to work with. They knew what they wanted and how they wanted it. Our designers turned their logo into a charm, they approved it the same day and we produced it within 7 business days. The final assembly and shipping time brought to 22 days.
This was a seamless project. Most of the time, the biggest hold up is that the customer isn't sure of what they want or they need a committee of people to approve the design or budget. That brings your general time frame to 4-6 weeks. That does not mean it will always take that long, but it is a good rule of thumb to schedule by. You can always call and see what our roster load is and find out a more specific time frame for your project.
If you need a charm yesterday, then you may want to choose from our stock of over 10,000 charms. We more than likely can find something that relates to your business or event.
Another consideration is our Semi-Custom wine charms. Here you can put your logo into either a circle, square or diamond pre-made charm. This is a quick and affordable way to get custom charms without the wait. Call and ask one of our designers for more information
This all sounds great, but how much is this going to cost?
