Product Description
The Steelite Capella Stack is a 355ml polycarbonate highball tumbler designed for commercial beverage service. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, it is built to withstand the knocks and drops that come with busy bar and hospitality environments, making it a practical choice wherever glassware breakage is a concern.
In service, polycarbonate drinkware of this type holds up well across high-volume periods. The clear finish gives a reasonably close visual approximation to glass, which matters in settings where presentation is still expected. The stackable design means that storage and retrieval during service are straightforward, reducing handling time and the clutter that comes with non-stackable alternatives.
From an operational standpoint, the Capella Stack offers several practical advantages:
- Stackable design reduces storage footprint and speeds up retrieval during service
- Polycarbonate construction significantly reduces breakage costs and glass contamination risk
- Clear finish maintains a presentable appearance without the fragility of glassware
- Sold in boxes of 12, making stock rotation and par-level management straightforward
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor service areas
It is worth noting that polycarbonate can cloud or craze over time if cleaned with abrasive chemicals or very high-temperature commercial dishwashers. Following the manufacturer's cleaning guidelines will extend the working life of the stock considerably.
This tumbler is well suited to casual dining, poolside bars, outdoor events, festival catering, and any venue where glass is prohibited or where breakage rates are unacceptably high. It is a mid-capacity highball; operators running a dedicated cocktail programme with higher-volume throughput may want to consider larger formats or higher-specification polycarbonate ranges.
If you are unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right fit for your service style or venue, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Polycarbonate drinkware is generally dishwasher compatible, but high wash temperatures and harsh detergents can cause clouding or crazing over time. It is advisable to check Steelite's cleaning guidelines and use a detergent formulated for polycarbonate to maintain clarity and extend the life of the glasses.
- Polycarbonate offers a clear, glass-like appearance and is significantly more resistant to breakage, making it a practical choice for outdoor service, events, or high-turnover environments where glass contamination is a risk. The trade-off is that it can scratch or cloud with heavy use, so it works best where stock is rotated regularly.
- That depends on your cover count, service pace, and wash cycle time. As a rough guide, most operators plan for at least two to three times the number of covers in drinkware to allow for service, clearing, and washing simultaneously. If you are unsure of the right quantity for your setup, we are happy to advise.
