Product Description
These BBP polycarbonate hi ball glasses are a practical alternative to glassware in settings where breakage is a genuine operational concern. Made from polycarbonate, they are shatter-resistant and carry CE certification confirming the 285ml fill line, which makes them compliant for licensed premises serving measured drinks.
In busy service environments — outdoor terraces, festivals, poolside bars, sports venues, or any venue where glass poses a risk — polycarbonate tumblers like these allow staff to serve confidently without the constant overhead of breakage losses or injury risk. They pour, feel, and present well enough to maintain a reasonable bar standard, and the clear finish keeps them looking appropriate across most settings.
- Shatter-resistant polycarbonate construction reduces breakage losses
- CE marked at 285ml for compliance in licensed premises
- Glasswasher safe with an approximate service life of 500 wash cycles
- Supplied in a pack of 48, suitable for stocking a bar float
- Clear finish maintains a clean, professional presentation
These glasses are glasswasher safe, which keeps turnaround straightforward during service. It is worth noting that polycarbonate does degrade over time — scratching and clouding will develop with regular use, and the stated lifecycle of approximately 500 washes is a reasonable working guide for planning replacement stock. Running them through a commercial glasswasher at correct temperatures and chemical concentrations will help extend their life, but periodic replacement is a normal part of operating with polycarbonate drinkware.
A pack of 48 is a sensible float quantity for a mid-size outdoor area or secondary bar. Higher-volume venues or those running multiple service points may want to consider stocking additional packs to allow adequate circulation without running short during peak periods.
If you are unsure how many packs suit your operation, or whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your licence conditions, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. These glasses carry CE certification confirming the 285ml fill line, which satisfies the requirement for stamped or certified measures under UK licensing rules for serving draught beer and cider. If you are unsure whether your licence conditions require CE-marked glassware specifically, it is worth checking with your licensing authority.
- A single pack of 48 suits a modest outdoor area or a secondary service point where glass is not permitted. For larger terraces or festival-style operations running continuous service, most operators find it practical to hold two or three packs in circulation to allow for washing, drying, and a working float on the bar simultaneously.
- These glasses are glasswasher safe, and using a commercial glasswasher at the correct temperature and detergent concentration is the most effective approach. Avoid abrasive cloths or scouring, as surface scratching accelerates clouding and shortens usable life. Even with careful handling, some degradation over time is normal with polycarbonate, and planning for periodic replacement is standard practice in most operations.
