Custom Coasters are printed paperboard drink mats for bars, cafes, breweries, and brands that want their logo on the table, made from absorbent paperboard and custom-printed in full color. They work as branded barware, event giveaways, or insert pieces in retail and subscription boxes.
A coaster keeps your brand in front of a customer for the length of a drink, and a printed pulpboard mat soaks up condensation while it does. Full-color CMYK reproduces logos, taglines, and artwork edge to edge, so a brewery can hand out a different design for each seasonal release. Order in small batches for a single event or larger runs for a venue, with no change to the artwork.

Coaster Board Thickness and Bar Volume Orders
Coaster stock splits into absorbent pulpboard and laminated card. Pulpboard soaks condensation and feels substantial, which is why most bars use it; laminated card wipes clean and lasts longer on a table service floor. Thickness is measured in points and directly changes the feel, so pick the point weight before you settle the artwork.
| Coasters ordered | Board and print guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Bar trial to judge absorbency and thickness in hand. |
| 500 | One board weight printed on both faces. |
| 1,000 | Two artwork variants across a single stock. |
| 5,000 | Die cut shapes beyond a plain round become viable. |
| 10,000+ | Venue group supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Timing runs to about 7 business days on in-house eligible coaster jobs and about 12 weeks where specialty imported board is used. Bar openings should work backward from the longer one. Free dieline design applies when you want a shaped coaster rather than a standard round or square.
Quote requests need coaster shape, diameter, board points, print sides and total order quantity.
