Custom Paper Coasters are printed paperboard coasters for bars, breweries, cafes, and hotels that want a branded surface on every table and a low-cost keepsake guests take home. They are custom-printed in full color on both faces.
A coaster works twice: it protects the table and puts your logo in front of a guest for the length of a drink. Print a different design on each side to run a brand mark and a promo at once - taprooms and event bars use them as cheap, repeatable advertising that doubles as decor.

Coaster Runs for Bars and Brand Activations
Coaster board is measured in points of thickness, usually 40pt through 60pt, and thicker stock soaks up more condensation before it warps. Round, square, and die cut silhouettes all run from the same press, and printing both faces gives you a drink menu on one side and branding on the other.
