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.

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.

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 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 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.
