Autumn deals on reusable plastic barware

Autumn Deals Bar Barware Supplies

We are pleased to announce updated prices on our barware products, notably from our ELITE and ECON range.

Popular amongst pubs, bars and clubs, our plastic glasses are designed to replace more traditional glassware with affordable yet strong and durable alternatives.

In addition to these benefits, plastic barware helps remove the threat of broken glass from licensed premises with obvious safety benefits.

Why choose ELITE?

The ELITE range is made from polycarbonate which makes it one of the strongest of our reusable range. It never lets our customers down.

Although visually similar to ECON, ELITE products are thicker and heavier. They have also been tested in excess of 500 glass washer cycles.

Best-sellers: CE marked clear jugs/pitchers, martini glasses, stackable Hi Ball glasses and plastic pint glasses.

Martini Cocktail Mojito Glasses
Plastic Pint Glasses
CE Marked Jugs

Why choose ECON?

Products belonging to the ECON range are hard plastic and ‘light use’ products made from crystal polystyrene. Often more cost-effective, these items are reusable and ideal for general purpose or outdoor use.

Best-sellers: Clear plastic shot glasses, plastic wine glasses and tulip pint plastic glasses.

Reusable Shot Glasses
Plastic Wine Glasses
Hiball Glasses

Polystyrene Plastic Glasses

Polystyrene Reusable Plastic Glasses are an alternative safety glass to the Polycarbonate. These hard walled glasses are ‘rigid’ (which is a round about way of saying they will break, but not easily).

These glasses also appear just like real glass but are cheaper than the real thing. These glasses have been in glass-washers (using a recognised glass detergent such as Finish) in excess of 100 cycles with no noticeable visual detraction. These glasses can withstand temperatures of up to 100C

Basically they don’t last as long as Polycarbonate glasses before becoming marked but will do a similar job, just not for as long a period.

Do not confuse rigid Plastic glasses with EPS glasses (Expanded Polystyrene) which are the very light weight ‘foam’ cups often described as the trade name Styrofoam and usually white in colour. We don’t sell any EPS products, our reasons are explained here.

Polycarbonate Plastic Glasses

Polycarbonate Reusable glasses are often referred to as safety glasses and many local councils and police forces are insisting that these glasses are used to minimize the risk of injury from ‘glassings’ (The word ‘Glass’ is sadly a verb in this country)

Polycarbonate Plastic Glasses are injection moulded and becoming more commonplace in Pubs, Bars and Restaurants as they will not break (if used as a weapon or otherwise)

Polycarb glasses look just like glass, are usually more expensive than glass as they ‘last forever’ and are lightweight.

Our Polycarbonate glasses will withstand 500 dishwasher cycles before showing signs of degradation (scratches etc). Polycarbonate glasses mark easily if not handled properly.

Polycarbonate glasses can withstand temperatures of up to 145C and are also used to make Police Riot Shields and Bullet Proof Glass.

Polypropylene Plastic Glasses

Polypropylene Disposable Plastic Glasses are commonly known as ‘flexi’ tumblers as they can be bent and their shape manipulated. They can appear ‘cloudy’ and are not as clear as their Crystal Styrene counterparts. Polypropylene glasses are commonly used at festivals, outdoor sporting events and public houses as they do not shatter, are cheap and would be difficult to use as a weapon.

Most Polypropylene Tumblers found in the UK are vacuum formed which means that plastic is stretched over a cup shaped mould in order to manufacture the tumbler. A good example of this is our Vending and Non Vending Plastic Cups commonly used or found with Watercoolers, Vending machines and next to the dreaded dentists’ chair.

Vacuum forming a tumbler (stretching plastic over a mould) results in parts of the tumbler being thicker than others, usually the base and top of the tumbler has a higher concentration of plastic than the thinner side walls.

For this reason we do not sell vacuum formed plastic glasses over a certain size. Vacuum formed tumblers are better suited to ‘one glup’ small tumbler applications as large Pint Glasses can become ‘wobbly’ and difficult to handle.

You’ll recognize when you have been handed a pint of beer in a vacuum formed tumbler when the beer spills over the side of the glass and onto your hand as you have ever so slightly squeezed the flimsy tumbler (altering the capacity) and forced the beer out of the glass.

Our ‘Katerglass’ range of Plastic Pint Glasses are Injection Moulded which gives ‘uniform wall strength’ – the tumblers are more rigid, not thinner in the middle and generally easier to handle.
