Choosing promotional items for your business can be a challenge. One option is promotional coasters, which come in a range of prices, styles and materials. To choose the coaster that’s right for you, consider all of the options. If possible, ask the manufacturers for samples so you can compare real items side-by-side. You’ll want to consider the intended use of the coaster, your budget, and the type of image you want to convey. Promotional coasters are available in paper, cardboard, metals, plastic, stoneware, both eco-leather and genuine leather.

One of the most common uses for promotional coasters is in bars and restaurants where drinks are often served with a square or round coaster bearing the name and logo of a beer, spirit or soft drink. These coasters are usually made from printed paper or cardstock and are extremely affordable. They only need to be used for a short time before they need to be replaced and are usually printed in ink so there is a huge range of color and style options available. They may also be available in recycled or recyclable materials.

Promotional plastic and acrylic coasters are usually a step up in quality and price from printed paper. These can be simple stamped or engraved pieces or be complex objects that feature a “floating” logo sandwiched between two layers of material. Other items, such as fluid or glitter, can also be placed between layers. These coasters are popular with college bookstores and sports teams.

The price and quality of promotional stoneware coasters can vary significantly depending on the quality and printing method. These coasters have the advantage of absorbing liquids, but they can break more easily than other materials. They can usually be printed in ink in any color and are popular across a range of industries.

Leather and metal coasters are usually engraved, embossed or laser engraved. They generally look more elegant and you can expect to pay more for these types of coasters; however, some lower-end options are available. You may also have limitations on available colours, print colors and the level of detail in the design. These options are often reserved for large corporate clients or, in the case of a non-profit organization, very generous donors.

A final consideration is the size of the coaster. Many people only consider standard-sized table coasters, but if you don’t intend to use them in a bar or restaurant, you might want to consider car coasters. These small discs are designed to fit inside an automobile cup holder and can be a unique and convenient change to traditional coasters.
