The Steelite Capella Stack hiball is a 296ml polycarbonate tumbler designed for commercial beverage service where breakage risk or outdoor use makes glass an impractical choice. Made from high-quality polycarbonate, these glasses are built to withstand the kind of handling that glass cannot — busy bar service, outdoor terraces, poolside, events catering, and anywhere that a dropped glass creates a safety or operational problem.

In service, polycarbonate performs well under pressure. The clarity of the material gives a cleaner, more presentable finish than many cheaper plastic alternatives, and the stackable design means storage and handling during busy periods is straightforward. Staff can retrieve, stock, and clear glasses more efficiently when they nest securely rather than taking up shelf space individually.

From an operator's perspective, the practical advantages are worth noting:

  • Stackable design reduces storage footprint behind the bar or in prep areas
  • Polycarbonate construction significantly reduces breakage and replacement costs
  • Suitable for outdoor and high-footfall service environments
  • Easier and safer to handle during high-volume clearing
  • Sold in a box of 12, suited to stocking in multiples for busy operations

It is worth being aware that polycarbonate glassware should not be cleaned in commercial dishwashers running very high temperatures or with harsh abrasive chemicals, as this can cloud the material over time. Standard commercial glasswasher cycles at appropriate temperatures will generally maintain clarity with correct detergent selection.

These tumblers are well suited to venues running outdoor service, festivals, stadium or arena hospitality, pub gardens, and any operation where glass is restricted or the breakage rate is creating cost pressure. For venues requiring a larger format or a full-glass alternative for indoor use, other options in the range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your service style or are looking to specify glassware across multiple formats, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Are these suitable for use in a commercial glasswasher?

Polycarbonate glassware is generally compatible with commercial glasswashers, but high wash temperatures and harsh detergents can cause the material to cloud over time. It is advisable to use a detergent formulated for polycarbonate and to check that your glasswasher's cycle temperature is within the manufacturer's guidance for plastic drinkware.

How many would a typical bar or outdoor venue need to stock?

That depends on your covers, service pace, and turnaround time, but most operators find it practical to hold at least two to three times their peak expected usage in order to maintain service while glasses are being cleared and washed. The box-of-12 format makes it easy to scale up in manageable quantities.

Is polycarbonate the right material for all service environments?

Polycarbonate is well suited to outdoor terraces, events, high-footfall venues, and anywhere glass is restricted or breakage is a consistent operational problem. For formal dining or service environments where guests expect traditional glassware, a glass alternative would be more appropriate — and if you are weighing up the options, we are happy to advise.
