Coasters

The range spans every material from disposable through to keepsake. At the high-volume hospitality end, cardboard coasters in full colour and spot colour print suit pubs, bars, and venues that rotate stock regularly, with Made in Australia options and express turnaround on select styles. Cork sits just above cardboard in feel and durability, absorbing moisture and lasting through many services. Moving up through the range, aluminium and anodised aluminium give a more substantial coaster suited to gift use and special occasion marking. Glass, metal, and leather coasters carry the weight of a corporate or client gift, while ceramic and stone styles sit at the top of the range and suit VIP presentations and high-value gifting briefs. Bamboo, wood, leatherette, and vinyl fill the range for varied briefs.

Pub and bar patrons see a branded coaster every time a drink lands on the table. In a busy venue running hundreds of covers a night, a coaster under every glass is the most-repeated brand impression of any item on the premises, and it's there every single service. It costs less per unit than almost anything else in the venue, and it does more impressions than most things above the bar.

All styles can be branded. Full colour digital print gives maximum visual coverage on cardboard and paper styles. Engraving and pad printing suit harder surfaces including aluminium, metal, and wood.

Common Questions

What is the difference between cardboard, cork, and cork/acrylic coasters?

Cardboard coasters suit high-rotation venues where regular replacement is expected, while cork absorbs moisture naturally and lasts longer under daily service. Cork/acrylic adds a clear acrylic top layer for a hard printable surface with cork absorbency underneath.

What coaster material suits a pub or bar best?

Cardboard full colour coasters are the most common choice for pubs and bars because they can be replaced regularly, accept full colour printing across the whole surface, and carry a very low cost per unit. Cork is a step up for venues that want something that lasts longer between replacements without moving into gift territory.

What coaster material suits a restaurant or cafe?

Cork coasters suit table service settings because they absorb condensation without marking surfaces, sit quietly under a glass, and take a clean logo print. Deluxe cork and cork/acrylic versions suit restaurants that want a slightly more refined look on the table.

Is there an express option for printed coasters?

Some cardboard and cork styles carry a 24-hour or 3-day express option at an additional charge. Regular production takes 5–10 business days from artwork approval, depending on the product.
