Coasters

The material tells the story of who this coaster is for. At the volume end, cardboard in full colour is the pub and bar material: high print impact, low cost per unit, and easily refreshed. Cork is the restaurant material, naturally absorbent and quieter on the table. Anodised aluminium crosses into gift territory with a self-stamping process that produces a permanent, sharp image. Glass, metal, and leather carry the weight of a proper corporate gift. Ceramic and stone sit at the top of the range: solid, keepsake-quality, and built to stay on the table for years. Bamboo, wood, leatherette, vinyl, felt, light-up, and novelty formats round out the rest.

Restaurant guests who pick up a glass notice the coaster in the same moment they reach for the drink. A logo on a cork coaster at a restaurant table sits under every drink served to every guest for the life of that coaster. In a busy service, one coaster might carry the logo through fifty or more drinks before it's replaced.

All styles can be branded. Full colour digital print covers cardboard and paper styles for maximum visual coverage. Pad printing works across cork, aluminium, and plastic, and engraving suits metal and wood.

What Buyers Ask

What coaster material should I choose for a volume hospitality brief?

Cardboard full colour coasters are the right choice for pubs and bars: generous print area, low cost per unit, and easily refreshed. Some styles carry express options for tight timelines.

What coaster material should I choose for a corporate gift brief?

Anodised aluminium, glass, leather, and metal all suit corporate gifting because the material signals quality, with anodised aluminium particularly popular for its sharp, permanent self-stamping image. Ceramic and stone suit VIP gifting at the top end.

What coaster material should I choose for a restaurant or cafe brief?

Cork is the natural choice for table service: it absorbs condensation, sits quietly under a glass, and holds a clean logo print through repeated use. Deluxe cork and cork/acrylic give a more refined finish for a polished table presence.

Can coasters be ordered with full colour printing?

Cardboard and paper styles take full colour digital print across the whole surface, giving maximum visual coverage for logos, artwork, and photographic designs. Other materials including aluminium, cork, metal, and wood are better suited to pad printing or engraving, which work with the surface rather than against it.
