Disclosed herein are, for instance, methods for producing through package vias in a glass interposer. For instance, disclosed herein is a method for producing through package vias in a glass interposer comprising laminating a polymer on at least a portion of a top surface of a glass interposer, removing at least a portion of the polymer and the glass interposer to form a through via, filling at least a portion of the through via with a metal conductor to form a metallization layer, and selectively removing a portion of the metallization layer to form a metalized through package via. Other methods are also disclosed, along with through-package-via structures in glass interposers produced therefrom.
