Olympia Kristallon Polycarbonate Handled Beakers 284ml (Pack of 12)

These Olympia Kristallon handled beakers are moulded from polycarbonate, a material chosen specifically for environments where conventional glassware is not appropriate. At 284ml they hold a practical single-serve volume, and the integrated handle makes them easier to hold, which is relevant for elderly residents, younger users or anyone who finds a standard beaker difficult to grip safely. The pack of 12 is available in four colours: yellow, green, blue and red. Choose the colour above.

Polycarbonate drinkware is a common choice for high-traffic institutional settings because it behaves so differently to glass under heavy daily use. These beakers withstand repeated dropping on hard floors, the mechanical stress of dishwasher cycles and the rough handling that comes with busy service periods. The colours help with stock management and colour-coded drinkware systems, where different colours are assigned to different wards, rooms, drink types or dietary requirements.

• Shatterproof construction removes the risk of glass breakage in service
• Handle aids safe grip for users with limited dexterity
• Four colours: yellow, green, blue and red, for colour-coded service and stock identification
• Compatible with commercial dishwashers for efficient high-volume turnaround
• Lightweight at 60g each, reducing fatigue during service and clearing

Polycarbonate, like all plastic drinkware, has a finite service life. Scratching and clouding will develop over time, particularly with abrasive cleaning or repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles, so check your dishwasher's programme temperatures before committing to volume use. Replacing worn stock regularly is standard practice in well-managed institutional catering. Packs of 12 make it straightforward to top up as needed.

These beakers are well suited to care homes, hospital wards, schools, outdoor activity centres and similar settings where shatterproof drinkware is a practical or policy requirement. They are not intended for fine-dining use. For sites needing different capacities or a broader range of colour options, there are further options within the Kristallon range worth considering.

If you are unsure which capacity or colour works best for your setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options before you order.
