Steelite Vivaldi Clear Polycarbonate Tumbler 502ml (Box 12)

The Steelite Vivaldi range is a line of polycarbonate tumblers designed to replicate the appearance of glassware while offering the practical advantages of a durable plastic alternative. At 502ml, this tumbler is a versatile size suited to water, soft drinks, iced teas, and cocktail service. The polycarbonate construction gives it a clarity that sits noticeably above standard plastic drinkware, making it a reasonable choice where the look of glass matters but breakage is a genuine operational concern.

In busy service environments — poolside bars, outdoor terraces, function rooms, or high-volume casual dining — the repeated dropping, stacking, and general handling that glassware rarely survives is where polycarbonate tumblers earn their place. The Vivaldi's clarity holds well over time compared with cheaper polycarbonate alternatives, though like all polycarbonate drinkware it will eventually show signs of wear with heavy commercial use and should be rotated out on a planned replacement cycle.

Practical advantages for front-of-house teams include:

• Significantly lighter than glass, reducing fatigue during extended service periods
• Shatter-resistant construction reduces breakage costs and glass-in-food incidents
• Clear finish presents well at the table without the cost or fragility of genuine glassware
• Suitable for dishwasher cycling in a commercial machine
• Supplied in a box of 12, making stock management and reordering straightforward

There are no installation requirements for drinkware of this type, though it is worth confirming compatibility with your existing glass rack or dishwasher basket sizing before ordering in volume. Polycarbonate should not be used with abrasive cleaning agents, and high-temperature or high-chemical dishwasher programmes can accelerate clouding — standard commercial glasswasher settings are generally appropriate.

These tumblers are well suited to venues where outdoor or high-risk service makes glass impractical, as well as budget-conscious operators looking to reduce ongoing replacement costs. For operations needing a full range of sizes or alternative styles within the Vivaldi line, options at different capacities are available.

If you are looking to specify drinkware across a new venue or want to discuss which format best fits your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
