The Steelite Capella Stack is a clear polycarbonate tumbler holding 414ml, supplied in boxes of 12. Made from high-quality polycarbonate, it is designed to look and feel close to glassware while offering the practical advantages that come with a shatter-resistant material — a distinction that matters in busy or outdoor service environments where broken glass creates safety and operational problems.

In commercial service, polycarbonate tumblers of this type are commonly used across bar terraces, poolside operations, event catering, and anywhere that glassware presents a risk or a licensing constraint. The stacking design means these tumblers take up noticeably less storage space than equivalents that cannot be nested, and movement between service areas, dishwash, and storage becomes more efficient as a result.

From an operational standpoint, the main advantages over glass in the right setting are:

  • Virtually unbreakable under normal service conditions, reducing wastage costs
  • Stackable design simplifies storage and speeds up restock between covers
  • Lightweight compared to glassware, easing handling volume during busy periods
  • Clear finish maintains a presentable appearance in front-of-house use
  • Reduced risk of scratching when stacked, supporting a longer service life

It is worth noting that polycarbonate tumblers are not a like-for-like substitute for glassware in every context — they are best suited to environments where practicality, safety, or outdoor use takes priority. High-end dining settings typically retain glassware. These tumblers are well suited to casual dining, bars with external areas, leisure venues, and event operators.

If you are unsure whether this format and capacity is the right fit for your operation, or you need to discuss volume requirements, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Are these tumblers suitable for dishwasher use in a commercial kitchen?

Polycarbonate drinkware is generally compatible with commercial dishwashers, though repeated exposure to very high wash temperatures or strong detergents can affect clarity over time. We would recommend confirming wash cycle temperatures against the manufacturer's guidance before committing to a large stock quantity.

How many tumblers would a typical bar or event operation need to hold?

This depends on your cover count, service pace, and wash cycle frequency. As a working guide, many operators aim to hold two to three times their peak cover number to allow for tumblers in use, in wash, and in reserve. If you are sizing for a specific event or venue format, the team can help you work through the numbers.

Where does polycarbonate drinkware work well, and where is it less appropriate?

Polycarbonate tumblers are well suited to outdoor bars, poolside service, leisure venues, festivals, and anywhere glassware poses a safety or licensing risk. They are less appropriate in formal dining environments where the look and feel of genuine glassware is expected by guests.
