BBP

The BBP In2Stax hi ball glasses are stackable clear polycarbonate glasses for bars, outdoor events, beer gardens, leisure venues and any site where glass is restricted, sold in packs of 48. They are rated for up to 500 commercial glasswasher cycles and are not intended for hot drinks.

Sizes, SKUs, dimensions and pack weights:

• Half pint (DC418): 136(H) x 62(Ø)mm, 6.57kg
  

If you are fitting out a bar or event, the team is happy to help with sizes and quantities.

These 570ml polystyrene pint glasses are a practical choice for licensed venues, events, and outdoor trading areas where glassware carries a safety or breakage risk. CE marked to confirm the correct pint measure, they are supplied in packs of 48 and are produced from exceptionally clear polystyrene — giving a closer visual resemblance to real glass than many alternatives in this category.

Unlike single-use plastic cups, these glasses are designed to be reused. They are glasswasher safe and built to withstand repeated washing cycles, making them a more economical option for venues running regular outdoor events, festival bars, or poolside service. The clarity of the polystyrene also helps maintain a more presentable serve, which matters when you are trading at volume.

• CE marked at 20oz / 570ml — correct pint measure for licensed service
• Glasswasher safe and reusable — reduces ongoing consumables cost
• Clear polystyrene construction — closer to the look of real glass than opaque alternatives
• Reduces breakage risk in outdoor, festival, or high-footfall environments
• Pack of 48 suits venue restocking without over-ordering

These glasses are best suited to venues where glassware is prohibited or where breakage is a genuine operational concern — beer gardens, sports grounds, outdoor festivals, and similar. They are not intended to replace standard glassware in controlled indoor environments where regular glass is practical.

If you are unsure how many packs suit your expected covers, or whether a different capacity would serve your operation better, we are happy to help you work that out before you order.

The BBP Elite hiball is a polycarbonate alternative to traditional glass, designed for bar and hospitality environments where standard glassware presents a safety risk or results in high breakage costs. Each glass is CE marked at 10oz, making it suitable for measured pours of mixers, soft drinks, or long cocktails served consistently across a session.

Polycarbonate drinkware of this type is widely used in nightclubs, festival bars, outdoor hospitality, poolside service, and licensed venues operating glass-free policies. The material handles the knocks and drops of busy service without the breakage losses associated with standard glass, which over a season can represent a meaningful saving in replacement stock and reduced risk to staff during clearing.

• Impact-resistant construction reduces breakage losses during busy service
• CE marked at 10oz for consistent, compliant measured pours
• Glasswasher-safe for efficient turnaround between rounds
• Hiball profile suited to mixers, soft drinks, and long cocktails
• Pack of 36 provides a practical opening stock for smaller bar operations

These glasses are safe to run through a commercial glasswasher, which keeps turnaround manageable during continuous service. One practical point worth noting: polycarbonate can cloud or develop fine surface scratches over time, particularly if abrasive cleaners or scourers are used. Using standard glasswasher detergent at the correct dilution will extend their working life considerably.

A pack of 36 is a sensible starting quantity for a smaller bar or as additional cover alongside an existing stock. Venues running high-volume continuous service across multiple stations will typically need several packs to avoid the glasswasher becoming a bottleneck during peak periods.

If you're weighing up quantity for your throughput or want to talk through whether polycarbonate suits your venue setup, we're happy to help you work it out before you order.

These 285ml polystyrene tumblers are a practical disposable-to-reusable option commonly used in bars, clubs, outdoor events, and catering operations where glassware breakage or safety is a concern. CE marked to confirm they meet the relevant food-contact standards, they are sold in packs of 100 and offer a clear finish that presents drinks reasonably well for a plastic tumbler.

In service, these tumblers are designed to handle the volume and pace of busy bar environments. They are glasswasher safe with an approximate lifecycle of 100 washes, which makes them a cost-effective alternative to single-use cups without the ongoing overhead of standard glassware replacement. The clarity of the polystyrene material means customers can see their drink, which tends to be preferable in front-of-house settings over opaque alternatives.

• Suitable for bars, events venues, outdoor catering, and high-footfall service areas
• Glasswasher safe, reducing the need for hand washing in busy service periods
• CE marked, confirming compliance with food-contact requirements
• Clear finish presents drinks more effectively than opaque plastic alternatives
• Sold in packs of 100, making stock management straightforward

It is worth noting that polystyrene tumblers are not suited to hot beverages and will not withstand the same physical impact as purpose-made polycarbonate glassware. For venues where durability is the primary concern — particularly those operating outdoors or at festivals — a heavier-duty polycarbonate tumbler may be a more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure whether these tumblers are the right fit for your service style or volume, feel free to get in touch and we can help you work out the most practical option.

These 25ml polystyrene shot glasses are a straightforward disposable option for venues and events where speed of service and easy clearance take priority over reusable glassware. Each pack contains 100 glasses, making them practical to keep in stock for busy periods or one-off functions.

In a commercial context, disposable shot glasses are commonly used at festivals, outdoor events, large-scale bars, and venues where the volume of service makes glass washing impractical or where breakage risk is a genuine concern. They remove the turnaround time associated with washing and redressing, which can make a meaningful difference during fast-paced service windows.

• Ready to use straight from the pack — no prep or washing required before service
• Lightweight and stackable, making storage and transport straightforward
• Eliminates breakage risk in outdoor or high-volume environments
• Consistent 25ml measure to support responsible service compliance
• Disposable clearance speeds up post-service tidying considerably

It is worth noting these are single-use disposable glasses. While the polystyrene material is reasonably robust for the purpose, they are not intended as a long-term reusable solution. Venues with a strong sustainability focus may wish to consider reusable alternatives depending on their service model.

These are best suited to event caterers, mobile bars, festival operators, and busy licensed venues where disposable serviceware is a deliberate operational choice rather than a compromise. For lower-volume or more permanent settings, reusable shot glasses from our range may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure which format suits your service setup, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk through what works best for your operation.

These BBP polycarbonate whiskey glasses are a practical substitute for real glassware in venues where breakage risk or licensing conditions make conventional glass unsuitable. Made from polycarbonate, they are shatter-resistant and safe for poolside bars, outdoor events, festival sites, sports venues, and anywhere that glass is prohibited or impractical.

The 207ml capacity gives comfortable room for a double measure over ice without the glass feeling overfilled, which matters when staff are serving quickly during a busy period. The shape follows a standard rocks profile, so presentation remains professional without drawing attention to the fact that the glass is plastic.

BBP have tested these glasses to withstand up to 500 cycles in a commercial glasswasher before signs of clouding or surface scratching begin to appear. In practice that represents a considerable working lifespan in most venues, though longevity will depend on chemical dosing and wash temperature settings. Running them through a correctly calibrated glasswasher with appropriate detergent and rinse aid is the main factor in keeping them clear for as long as possible.

• Shatter-resistant construction for high-risk or glass-prohibited environments
• Professional appearance comparable to conventional glassware
• Rated to approximately 500 commercial glasswasher cycles
• Sold in packs of 36, suited to bar par stock planning
• Polycarbonate material avoids the weight and fragility of glass

These glasses suit bars, event caterers, leisure venues, and outdoor hospitality operations where glassware safety is a consideration. If you are unsure whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your service style or glasswasher setup, we are happy to help you think it through.

These 570ml polystyrene tumblers are a practical choice for cold drink service across a wide range of catering and hospitality environments. CE marked and supplied in packs of 100, they are made from clear polystyrene that offers good visibility of the drink contents — useful wherever presentation matters alongside volume throughput.

In operational terms, polystyrene tumblers at this capacity are a reliable workhorse for soft drinks, iced beverages, and similar cold service. The clear material keeps presentation clean without the cost or breakage risk associated with glassware, making them well suited to outdoor events, festival catering, staff canteens, and high-turnover service points where replacing broken glass is a genuine concern.

• Clear polystyrene construction gives good drink visibility
• CE marked, meeting UK compliance requirements for food contact use
• 20oz / 570ml capacity suits standard cold drink portions
• Glasswasher safe, supporting repeated use across service periods
• Pack of 100 provides practical stock quantities for busy services

It is worth noting that polystyrene tumblers, while described as glasswasher safe, are best treated as semi-disposable rather than indefinite reusables. Their practical life cycle will depend on wash temperature and handling, so operators running very high volumes may find it worth considering quantities accordingly.

These tumblers are best suited to venues where volume, cost control, and breakage reduction take priority over premium presentation. If you are unsure whether this size or material is the right fit for your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

These are standard nonic-profile pint glasses made from polycarbonate rather than glass. They hold 570ml and carry CE certification, meaning the fill line is accurate and legally compliant for licensed premises serving by the pint. The pack contains 48 glasses, which suits a typical opening order for a bar or event setup.

Polycarbonate glassware performs well in environments where breakage is a persistent problem — outdoor bars, festival sites, sports venues, poolside service, and busy nighttime venues. The material absorbs impact rather than shattering, which reduces waste, lowers the risk of injury, and keeps service moving without staff stopping to clear broken glass. In high-turnover settings, that practical advantage adds up quickly over a season.

• CE marked for accurate, legally compliant pint measures
• Nonic profile stacks securely and is familiar to customers
• Polycarbonate construction withstands repeated drops without shattering
• Suitable for glasswasher use in commercial operations
• Pack of 48 provides a practical opening quantity for most venues

These glasses are not suitable for all settings. Polycarbonate will scratch over time with heavy commercial use, and scratched glassware should be replaced — both for appearance and hygiene reasons. They are also not well suited to venues where premium presentation is a priority, as the material does not replicate the clarity or weight of real glass to a discerning customer.

This pack size works well for smaller venues, event hire companies, or as a supplementary stock for outdoor service areas alongside a main glass inventory. Operators running larger or more permanent operations may want to consider ordering in greater volume to keep pace with attrition.

If you are weighing up polycarbonate versus toughened glass for your operation, or working out the right opening quantity for your venue, the team is happy to talk it through.

These BBP American hi ball glasses are moulded from polycarbonate rather than glass, making them a practical choice for venues where breakage risk is a genuine operational concern. They carry a CE line marked at 285ml (half pint), which satisfies UK weights and measures requirements for licensed premises serving draught or measured drinks.

Polycarbonate drinkware is commonly used in beer gardens, poolside bars, festival and event catering, sports venues, and anywhere that glass is either prohibited or presents a safety hazard. The material resists shattering under the kind of handling that glassware simply wouldn't survive, and the clarity of good-quality polycarbonate means they present reasonably well on the bar, which matters to operators who want a practical solution that doesn't look like a compromise.

From a day-to-day service perspective, these glasses offer a few clear operational advantages:

• CE lined at 285ml — compliant for licensed premises without additional measuring equipment
• Glasswasher safe with an approximate lifecycle of 500 washes
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during high-volume service
• Shatter-resistant — reduces breakage costs and glass-in-product incidents
• Sold in a pack of 36, suited to stocking a full outdoor service station

It is worth noting that polycarbonate does have a service life. After repeated commercial glasswashing cycles, clouding and surface crazing will develop — this is normal and expected. Replacing stock periodically is part of working with this type of drinkware rather than a reflection of product quality. Avoid abrasive cleaning products, as these accelerate surface wear.

These glasses are well suited to pubs, bars, hotels, and event caterers running outdoor or high-risk service areas. If your volume demands a larger pack size or you are fitting out a new site, it is worth a conversation with us to make sure you are ordering the right quantity and specification first time.

These BBP Penthouse hi ball glasses are made from polycarbonate rather than glass, making them a practical choice for venues where conventional glassware presents a safety or breakage risk. At 285ml with CE marking, they are suited to standard UK measures and comply with the requirements for served drinks where trading standards verification is needed.

Polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used across outdoor hospitality — beer gardens, festival bars, poolside service, and stadium concessions — where glass is either prohibited or operationally unsuitable. The material is resistant to impact and does not shatter, which reduces both injury risk and wastage during busy service periods.

From an operational standpoint, these glasses offer several practical advantages:

• Glasswasher safe with an approximate lifecycle of 500 washes before clarity degrades
• CE marked at 285ml for compliant measure service
• Impact-resistant polycarbonate reduces breakage losses
• Supplied in a pack of 36, suitable for stocking a bar or event float
• Lightweight construction eases handling during high-volume service

It is worth noting that polycarbonate will discolour and cloud over time, particularly if washed at excessive temperatures or with abrasive chemicals. Using a glasswasher rather than a dishwasher, and following the chemical supplier's guidance, will help extend the usable lifecycle. They are not intended to replicate the feel of glass for fine dining or premium drink presentation.

These glasses are well suited to outdoor licensed premises, event catering, leisure venues, and any operation where glass-free service is required by policy or regulation. For higher-volume events or venues needing a larger float, it is worth considering whether a greater quantity per pack would be more practical.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your operation, or need guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work it out.

These BBP In2Stax polycarbonate whisky rocks glasses are a practical alternative to conventional glassware in settings where breakage is a genuine risk or a licensing concern. Made from polycarbonate, they are shatterproof and maintain their crystal-clear appearance through repeated commercial glasswasher cycles — BBP rate them for up to 500 washes — making them a durable choice rather than a single-use solution.

In busy service environments, the stackable design keeps storage straightforward and reduces the counter space needed during setup or breakdown. The broad base provides good stability on uneven or outdoor surfaces, and the walls hold their shape under pressure in a way that disposable or thin-walled plastic glasses do not.

Practically, this format works well where operators need something that looks the part without the liability of real glass:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage risk and associated waste costs
• Stackable profile simplifies storage and front-of-house organisation
• Retains clarity through repeated glasswasher use, avoiding the clouding common with cheaper polycarbonate
• Wide base suits outdoor and uneven surfaces, including decking and poolside areas
• Pack of 48 provides practical quantity for event and venue catering without frequent restocking

These glasses are well suited to outdoor event catering, festival bars, poolside service, boat and leisure vessel hospitality, and any licensed venue where glass-free policies apply. At 256ml they are sized appropriately for spirits served over ice. For operations running very high throughput — large festivals or stadium-style concessions — it is worth considering whether a larger pack format would better suit your stock rotation.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate glassware is the right fit for your service style or venue requirements, our team is happy to talk it through.

These BBP polycarbonate American tumblers are a practical replacement for glassware in settings where breakage is a genuine operational concern. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, they offer the appearance of a conventional tumbler without the associated risk of breakage or injury — a common requirement for outdoor terraces, poolside service, festival bars, and high-volume casual dining operations.

In busy service conditions, polycarbonate drinkware of this type tends to hold up well against the daily demands of commercial use. Each tumbler is rated for approximately 500 glasswasher cycles, which gives a reasonable working life when handled and washed correctly. They are glasswasher safe, which keeps them practical in a fast turnaround environment without requiring hand-washing.

• Reduces breakage risk compared to glass — suited to outdoor and unsupervised service areas
• Glasswasher safe for efficient turnaround during busy service
• Sold in a pack of 36, useful for stocking a bar or topping up existing inventory
• Polycarbonate construction resists shattering under normal commercial handling
• Clear finish gives a closer visual resemblance to glass than many alternatives

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware does show wear over time — scratching and clouding are normal after repeated washing cycles, and most operators replace stock on a rolling basis rather than waiting for items to fail outright. The 500-cycle rating is a useful guide for planning refresh schedules.

If you are working out the right quantity for your service volume or want to discuss suitability for your specific operation, our team is happy to help.

These BBP American hi ball glasses are moulded from polycarbonate rather than glass, making them a practical choice for any venue where breakage is a genuine operational concern. Each glass holds 10oz (285ml) and carries a CE half-pint mark, keeping you compliant with UK weights and measures requirements when serving draught beer or cider by the half.

The nucleated base is an important detail for a drinkware product of this type. The nucleation point encourages a steady stream of bubbles from the bottom of the glass, helping carbonated drinks retain their condition and present well during service — something that matters when a polycarbonate glass is standing in for a traditional pint glass at the bar.

In practical terms, polycarbonate drinkware like this earns its place in a number of common service settings:

• Beer gardens, terraces, and any outdoor service area
• Festival bars, events catering, and temporary licensed premises
• Pool and leisure venues with no-glass policies
• High-volume bars where breakage costs and safety risks are a concern
• Late-night venues operating a polycarbonate-only policy during peak hours

The glasses are rated for approximately 500 glasswasher cycles, which represents meaningful durability for a polycarbonate product. At 36 pieces per pack, there is enough volume here to equip a section of the bar or provide a working float without needing multiple orders. That said, replacement rates in high-volume environments can be significant — it is worth considering whether a larger opening stock makes sense for your operation.

If you are unsure how many glasses to hold as a working stock, or whether this size and format suits your service style, we are happy to help you think it through before you order.

These 25ml polycarbonate shot glasses from BBP are a practical choice for licensed venues, outdoor events, and high-turnover bar operations where standard glassware carries too much breakage risk. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, they are virtually unbreakable under normal service conditions and carry CE marking, confirming they meet the legal measure requirements for serving spirits in the UK.

In busy service environments — festival bars, nightclubs, sports venues, or poolside service — the ability to reuse rather than discard after each shift makes a meaningful difference to running costs. These glasses are glasswasher safe and rated for approximately 500 wash cycles, which gives them a reasonable working lifespan when handled and cleaned correctly. Over time, polycarbonate can cloud or scratch if exposed to abrasive cleaners or high-temperature programmes, so following the manufacturer's care guidance will extend their usable life.

• CE marked for compliant 25ml spirit measures
• Glasswasher safe for efficient turnaround between service periods
• Polycarbonate construction reduces breakage and injury risk
• Suited to outdoor, poolside, and licensed event environments
• Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for stocking to volume

They are best suited to venues where durability and safety take priority over the premium feel of glass. For operators who need a fully disposable option for one-off events, or conversely a heavier-duty reusable range for permanent bar fitouts, there are alternative products worth considering. If you are unsure which specification fits your service volume or venue type, feel free to get in touch with the team.

These black polycarbonate rocks tumblers from BBP are a straightforward, practical choice for operations that need durable, reusable drinkware without the breakage risk associated with glass. Each tumbler holds 256ml, making them well proportioned for short serves, soft drinks, cocktails, or juice portions in a casual or informal setting.

Polycarbonate is the standard material choice for high-turnover service environments precisely because it withstands the knocks and drops that glass cannot. These tumblers are designed to hold up in busy service periods — behind a bar, in a beer garden, at an outdoor event, or in any venue where glassware loss or breakage is a concern. The stackable design helps with storage and keeps the back bar or service station tidy between covers.

• Shatterproof polycarbonate construction reduces breakage losses
• Stackable profile saves storage space on the bar or in the wash area
• Black finish suits informal dining, bars, and casual outdoor settings
• Pack of 36 provides a practical quantity for a small to medium operation
• Dishwasher compatible for straightforward turnaround between service periods

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware does show wear over time, particularly with repeated commercial dishwashing cycles — clouding or surface scratching is normal with extended use, and periodic replacement should be factored into budgeting. These tumblers are not designed for carbonated drinks under pressure and are best suited to still or blended beverages.

For smaller venues or pop-up operations, a pack of 36 is a sensible starting quantity. Higher-volume sites running continuous service across multiple stations may want to consider a larger pack quantity or a heavier-gauge alternative.

If you are unsure how many packs suit your service volume, or want to discuss drinkware options across your operation, the team is happy to help you work it out.

These BBP Elite shot glasses are moulded from polycarbonate rather than conventional glass, giving you a 25ml CE-marked measure in a format that is far more practical for high-traffic licensed venues. Each glass holds a standard single spirit measure and carries CE certification, which matters wherever measured service is a legal or licensing requirement.

In real-world bar operations — particularly nightclubs, late-night venues, festival bars, and outdoor events — broken glassware is both a safety risk and an operational headache. Polycarbonate removes that risk entirely. The material is significantly more resistant to impact than glass, and when these glasses do get dropped, they bounce rather than shatter. That translates directly to less downtime clearing up and a safer environment for staff and customers alike.

• CE-marked for accurate single spirit measures at 25ml
• Polycarbonate construction eliminates breakage on busy service floors
• Lightweight and easy to handle during high-volume service
• Reusable, reducing ongoing costs compared to disposable alternatives
• Suited to venues where standard glassware is prohibited or inadvisable

From a practical standpoint, these are reusable glasses rather than disposables, so they are worth considering anywhere glass restrictions apply but single-use waste needs to be kept down. They are dishwasher compatible in most commercial glasswashers, though very high temperature programmes can accelerate wear over time — worth bearing in mind if longevity is a priority.

The pack of 24 suits smaller bars, pop-up operations, or venues topping up existing stock. For larger permanent operations running continuous service across multiple stations, it is worth considering whether a larger quantity makes more sense given throughput and breakage replacement rates.

If you are unsure how many glasses your operation needs or whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your venue type, the team is happy to help you work it out.

These slimline polycarbonate jugs hold 1.7 litres and come supplied with lids, sold as a pack of four. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass or standard plastic, they offer a practical balance of clarity, light weight, and resistance to the kind of knocks and drops that are routine in busy service settings.

Polycarbonate is a common choice in commercial beverage service for good reason. It handles repeated use, dishwasher cycles, and the general wear of a working environment considerably better than glass alternatives, without the risk of shattering. The slimline profile keeps them manageable on trays and counters where space is typically limited.

These jugs suit a range of front-of-house and back-of-house uses, including water service, soft drinks, juice, and cold beverage preparation. The included lid helps maintain temperature and reduces spillage during carry and service. Practical advantages include:

• Shatter-resistant polycarbonate construction reduces breakage risk in service
• Lids included to retain temperature and reduce spillage
• Slimline form factor suits trays, counters, and fridges
• Supplied as a pack of four, reducing per-unit cost for multi-table operations
• Lightweight compared to equivalent glass jugs, reducing fatigue during busy service

For most hospitality operations — restaurants, hotels, cafés, contract catering, and event venues — a pack of four covers a reasonable section or station. Sites running larger dining rooms or high-turnover events may find it worth ordering multiple packs to maintain a sufficient rotation while others are being washed.

If you're unsure how many jugs your operation needs, or whether this style is the right fit for your service format, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The BBP Elite rocks glass is a polycarbonate alternative to traditional glassware, sized at 8oz and sold in packs of 36. It is intended for serving spirits over ice, short mixed drinks, and similar bar serves where a conventional glass is impractical or prohibited.

Polycarbonate drinkware is widely used in venues where glass represents a genuine safety risk — outdoor terraces, festival bars, sports grounds, nightclubs, and poolside service areas among them. The material resists shattering under the kind of impact that would break standard glassware, which reduces both injury risk and the service interruption that follows a breakage on a busy floor. BBP's Elite range is a well-established choice in this category, with the material holding its clarity reasonably well over time compared with cheaper polycarbonate alternatives.

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage risk and service disruption
• Compatible with commercial glasswashers for fast, consistent turnaround
• Consistent 8oz capacity suitable for standard spirit and mixer serves
• Lightweight in hand, which eases tray carrying during busy service
• Pack of 36 provides a practical opening quantity for most bar setups

These glasses are glasswasher-safe, which keeps them practical for high-turnover service without requiring handwashing. It is worth noting that polycarbonate will show signs of wear over time — surface hazing and minor scratching are normal with regular commercial use, and most operators replace stock periodically as part of routine drinkware management.

This size suits most standard short-drink serves. For venues needing a larger rocks or highball format, or requiring a different pack quantity, it is worth reviewing the wider BBP polycarbonate range to find the closest match to your service style and volume.

If you are unsure whether this size and pack quantity is right for your bar setup, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

These BBP Penthouse tumblers are a 255ml polycarbonate rocks-style glass, sold in packs of 36. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, they are designed for operations where breakage is a practical concern — outdoor terraces, poolside service, festival catering, events venues, and anywhere that a shattered glass creates a safety or operational hazard.

In service, polycarbonate tumblers like these hold up well under the kind of handling that would quickly damage real glassware. They resist cracking and chipping, maintain their shape through repeated use, and return to service quickly when put through a glasswasher. BBP rate these for approximately 500 wash cycles, which gives a reasonable working lifespan when they are rotated properly through a stock of 36.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Glasswasher safe — no specialist handling required
• No breakage risk during service or when stacking and storing
• Suitable for outdoor, poolside, and event-based service
• Consistent capacity across the pack for portion control and bar efficiency
• Lightweight to handle during busy service periods

There are some honest considerations to be aware of. Polycarbonate is not glass — over time and with repeated washing, clarity can reduce and surface scratching will become visible. Once tumblers begin to look worn, they should be retired from front-of-house use. They are also not suitable for use with very high-proof spirits for extended periods, as prolonged contact can affect the material over time.

These tumblers are well suited to casual dining operators, bars with outdoor seating, hospitality venues running events, and catering companies that need a reliable, safe alternative to glass. For venues with higher-volume requirements, larger pack sizes or alternative polycarbonate ranges may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate tumblers are the right choice for your service style, or want to discuss quantity requirements, the team is happy to help.

These BBP polycarbonate champagne flutes are a practical alternative to glassware in settings where breakage is a genuine operational risk. Made from polycarbonate, they closely replicate the slim profile of a traditional flute while eliminating the fragility that makes standard glass unsuitable for outdoor bars, poolside service, festivals, and similar environments. Each flute holds 200ml and is CE marked at 175ml, meeting UK licensing requirements for managed measures.

In service, polycarbonate drinkware takes the kind of handling that glass simply cannot. Dropped on a terrace, knocked off a bar tray, or stacked carelessly during a busy event clear-up — polycarbonate absorbs the impact and keeps going. The flutes are rated for approximately 500 glasswasher cycles, which makes them a practical long-term investment for operators who run regular outdoor or event service rather than a disposable solution.

• CE marked at 175ml — compliant for licensed premises serving measured pours
• Glasswasher safe with a useful service life of around 500 washes
• Shatter-resistant polycarbonate — suitable where glass is prohibited or impractical
• Sold in packs of 12, suited to topping up existing stock or equipping a new operation

These flutes are well suited to outdoor hospitality venues, event caterers, festival bars, sports facilities, and anywhere that glass presents a safety or licensing concern. They are not intended to replace glassware in formal fine-dining environments where presentation expectations are different. For very high-volume events requiring larger pack quantities, it is worth discussing options with the team to ensure you have the right quantity and format for your service model.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your venue or need guidance on quantities for a particular event format, we are happy to help you work through it.

These 340ml polycarbonate sundae glasses are a practical alternative to glassware in commercial hospitality settings. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, they are shatter-resistant and considerably safer to handle in busy service environments — particularly relevant in poolside, outdoor, and high-footfall venues where breakage is a recurring operational concern.

Polycarbonate drinkware performs well in settings where glass is either prohibited or impractical. The material retains clarity over repeated use and holds up to commercial dishwasher cycles, with a service life of approximately 500 washes under normal conditions. This makes them a cost-effective choice over the medium term compared with replacing broken glassware regularly.

• Shatter-resistant polycarbonate — safer than glass in public-facing areas
• Suitable for commercial dishwashers — reduces handling time during service
• Consistent presentation across a full pack of 12
• Lightweight construction — easier for front-of-house staff to carry and handle
• Suited to sundaes, desserts, and layered cold drinks

It is worth noting that polycarbonate can discolour or become hazy over time if exposed to very harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents. Using standard commercial dishwasher detergents and avoiding prolonged soaking will help maintain clarity and extend service life.

These glasses are well suited to dessert operations, ice cream parlours, casual dining venues, hotels, and any hospitality environment where glassware breakage carries a safety or cost risk. If your operation runs extremely high cover volumes and these glasses are in constant circulation, it is worth considering how quickly the 500-wash lifecycle will be reached.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate sundae glasses are the right fit for your operation, or if you need advice on quantities for your service volumes, the team is happy to help.
