5 types of coasters for drinks

Drink coasters are small mats that are placed under a cup or glass to protect the surface below from heat marks or liquid stains. The coaster comes in many different shapes and materials. Also, the dimension is slightly larger than the bottom surface of a cup. They also have the added benefit of reducing noise from cups and glasses when placed. Here are five of the most popular types of beverage coasters:

Glass

Glass coasters are usually made from a high-quality tempered glass that can easily withstand the heat of hot beverages like tea and coffee. Most of these coasters have four small feet that help lift the glass off the table or desk surface to prevent heat damage. Glass is the favorite choice of many due to its elegant and sophisticated appearance.

stainless steel

Stainless steel coasters are perfect for promotional or business gifts due to the ease of recording a special message. A unique message can be engraved on the surface using the pad printing or laser method. To make it easier to lift coasters, they are often made with a small rim in place, while a rubber backing ensures that the coasters stay in place and don’t slip.

regenerated skin

Bonded leather coasters are a very low cost solution for advertising your business. This type of coaster is regularly used by food and beverage manufacturers, caterers, and culinary schools for this purpose. Bonded leather is easy to brand with a message or logo. In addition, the material makes it naturally resistant to water and slipping.

liquid filled

Liquid filled coasters are one of the most popular and eye catching coasters and have a unique and stylish finish. These coasters are filled with a non-toxic liquid in many different colors and provide quite a novelty piece to place on a bar or kitchen counter. Just like any of the other coasters, this type can also be printed with a design, logo or message. Unique branding is added to the coaster using the latest screen printing technologies.

Ceramic

Ceramic coasters are made from clay and are professionally or amateur-made, which is ideal for those interested in ceramics. Once the clay is dry, the coaster is finished with a hand-painted design for the most unique look. This type of coaster is great for outdoor or indoor use, but special care must be taken as this material is quite fragile.
