Steelite Design+

The Steelite Design+ Pitcher is a polycarbonate beverage pitcher designed for commercial hospitality environments where glassware presents a practical or safety risk. Made from shatterproof polycarbonate, it offers the appearance of glassware without the breakage concerns that come with traditional glass pitchers in outdoor or high-footfall settings.

In service, polycarbonate pitchers like this are a practical choice for rooftop bars, poolside terraces, event catering, and any venue where staff are carrying drinks across uneven or slippery surfaces. The 1.8Ltr capacity suits standard table service for small groups and works comfortably as a water, juice, or soft drink pitcher across lunch and dinner covers.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and service interruptions
• Lightweight build eases handling during busy service periods
• Polycarbonate construction is compatible with commercial glasswashers
• Consistent presentation without the fragility of glass

It is worth noting that polycarbonate pitchers are not suitable for hot beverages and should not be used with carbonated drinks under pressure. They are also susceptible to scratching over time with abrasive cleaning, so soft cloths or standard glasswasher cycles are recommended to maintain clarity.

This pitcher is well suited to casual dining restaurants, hotel poolside or terrace operations, event and outdoor catering, and any venue looking to reduce glass breakage risk without compromising on presentation. For operations requiring larger serving volumes or a fuller matching collection, coordinating pieces within the Design+ range are worth considering.

If you are equipping a new outdoor space or reviewing your beverage service setup, the team is happy to help you work out what quantities and formats make sense for your covers.

The Steelite Design+ Pilsner is a 414ml polycarbonate glass designed for beverage service in environments where conventional glassware isn't practical or safe. Made from polycarbonate, it is shatterproof and lightweight, making it a sensible choice wherever broken glass presents a safety or operational risk.

In practice, polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used on rooftop terraces, poolside bars, outdoor event spaces, and in festival or stadium settings where glass is prohibited. The Design+ range is intended to maintain a presentable appearance in these settings — the clarity of the polycarbonate and the pilsner profile both help it read as a proper glass rather than a disposable substitute.

Key practical points for operators:

• Shatterproof polycarbonate — reduces breakage losses in high-risk service areas
• 414ml capacity suits standard draught lager and pilsner pours
• Reusable and washable — more sustainable than single-use alternatives
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during high-volume outdoor service
• Sold in a box of 12, which suits initial stock or top-up purchasing

Polycarbonate does scratch over time with repeated commercial dishwasher use, and scratched units tend to cloud and lose their clarity. Most operators find it worth reviewing stock periodically and replacing worn pieces to maintain presentation standards. It is worth checking that your dishwasher settings are compatible with polycarbonate before putting these into regular rotation.

This glass is well suited to outdoor hospitality venues, bars with poolside or rooftop service, events caterers, and any site operating under a no-glass policy. If you require a larger format or are equipping a higher-volume outdoor bar, it is worth speaking with us about pack sizes and alternatives within the range.

If you are unsure whether this format fits your service style or volume, we are happy to help you work through the options before you order.

The Steelite Design+ Pilsner is a 285ml polycarbonate beer glass designed to deliver a credible presentation in environments where conventional glassware carries too much risk. Made from polycarbonate, it is shatterproof by nature — making it a practical choice for outdoor terraces, rooftop bars, poolside service, festival and event catering, and any venue where broken glass creates a safety or operational problem.

Polycarbonate drinkware has improved considerably in recent years, and the Design+ range reflects that. The clarity is notably better than older-generation plastic alternatives, meaning guests receive a drink that looks the part rather than something that immediately signals compromise. In a busy bar environment, that distinction matters — particularly when operators are trying to maintain a consistent guest experience across indoor and outdoor settings.

From a practical standpoint, the key advantages for operators are:

• Shatterproof construction eliminates breakage cost and glass-in-venue safety risk
• Polycarbonate material is dishwasher compatible and holds up well under repeated commercial wash cycles
• Consistent 285ml capacity supports accurate portioning and portion control
• Lighter than glass, reducing fatigue for floor staff carrying multiple drinks
• Sold in boxes of 12, which suits both initial stocking and ongoing replacement purchasing

It is worth noting that polycarbonate does scratch over time with heavy use and repeated washing, which can affect clarity. Most operators find a rotation and replacement cycle helps keep stock looking fresh. These glasses are not a permanent substitute for glassware in all settings — they are a practical solution where the environment demands it.

The Design+ Pilsner suits bars, pubs, stadia, event venues, and hospitality operations where outdoor service or crowd management makes conventional glass impractical. If you are outfitting a larger venue or need guidance on quantities and rotation planning, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Steelite Design+ Footed Pilsner is a 473ml polycarbonate drinkware piece designed for venues where conventional glassware presents a safety or practical risk. Produced by Strahl under the Steelite portfolio, it is shaped to replicate the look of a traditional footed pilsner glass while being constructed from shatterproof polycarbonate throughout.

Polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used in outdoor hospitality settings where broken glass creates a genuine hazard — rooftop bars, poolside service areas, festival bars, and licensed outdoor terraces. The material holds up well to the handling demands of busy service, and the footed profile means it presents respectably on a tray or table rather than reading as a functional compromise.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Shatterproof construction eliminates broken glass risk in outdoor or high-footfall areas
• Footed profile maintains a presentable, glassware-like appearance for guests
• Polycarbonate material is lightweight, reducing tray weight during service
• Suitable for commercial glasswasher use, supporting fast turnaround
• Sold in a box of 12, practical for bar stock management

It is worth noting that polycarbonate, while durable, will scratch over time with repeated commercial washing and may cloud if washed at excessively high temperatures or with abrasive chemicals. Replacing worn stock periodically is standard practice in venues using polycarbonate drinkware extensively.

This glass suits outdoor licensed venues, poolside bars, event caterers, and any operator who needs a presentable pilsner format without the liability of breakage. For venues running high-volume indoor service where presentation is the primary concern, traditional glassware alternatives may be worth considering.

If you are specifying drinkware across multiple formats or need guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Design+ Footed Pilsner is a 414ml polycarbonate drinking vessel designed to replicate the appearance of conventional glassware while eliminating the breakage risk that makes standard glass impractical in many front-of-house environments. Sold in boxes of 12, it is manufactured from polycarbonate, which gives it a clear, glass-like appearance without the fragility.

In practice, polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used in settings where dropped or thrown glassware poses a safety or operational problem — rooftop terraces, poolside bars, festival venues, sports facilities, and anywhere with a licence condition or venue policy that restricts the use of real glass. The clarity and stem design mean presentation standards do not have to be compromised to meet those requirements.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and clearance time during service
• Glass-like appearance maintains presentation quality in outdoor and high-risk areas
• Lightweight compared to glass, reducing handling fatigue during busy service
• Sold in case quantities of 12, suited to bar stock replenishment
• Polycarbonate construction is compatible with commercial glasswasher cycles at appropriate temperatures

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware does show wear over time — repeated commercial washing gradually affects surface clarity, and heavily used pieces will eventually need replacing. It is not intended as a permanent alternative to glass in all environments, but it is a practical solution where glass is unsuitable or prohibited.

This pilsner is well suited to licensed outdoor venues, leisure facilities, event caterers, and bars operating under glass-free policies. If you serve a wide range of beverages and need matching polycarbonate formats, it is worth discussing your full requirements with us to ensure a consistent collection across your outlet.

The Steelite Design+ Osteria glass is a 384ml polycarbonate wine glass designed for outdoor and high-risk beverage service where conventional glassware is unsuitable or not permitted. Made from polycarbonate, it is shatterproof under normal service conditions, making it a practical choice wherever broken glass presents a safety or compliance concern.

In operation, polycarbonate drinkware of this type performs well across rooftop bars, poolside settings, festival venues, and hospitality spaces with hard flooring or high footfall. The Osteria profile is shaped to resemble a standard wine glass, which helps maintain a more considered presentation than typical plastic alternatives — a relevant consideration when serving wine, prosecco, or cocktails in premium outdoor environments.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and glass-in-product risk outdoors
• Polycarbonate material is lightweight, easing handling during busy service periods
• Suitable for venues where glass is prohibited by licence or site rules
• Consistent stemmed profile supports presentable outdoor wine service
• Supplied in a box of 12, practical for bar stock management

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware is not suited to dishwasher cycles that use harsh detergents or very high temperatures over repeated use, as this can cause clouding or surface degradation over time. Hand washing or low-temperature glasswasher cycles will extend the service life of each piece.

This glass is best suited to outdoor hospitality operations, event catering, and licensed venues with restrictions on glassware. Operators with very high-volume outdoor bar setups may wish to consider whether a larger-format or higher-quantity pack is more appropriate for their throughput.

If you're unsure whether this format suits your service style or venue requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Design+ Margarita is a 355ml polycarbonate drinkware piece designed for commercial bar and hospitality environments where presentation matters but glassware is not practical. Polycarbonate construction means it looks and feels closer to glass than standard plastic alternatives, while remaining shatterproof — an important consideration for rooftop bars, poolside service, outdoor terraces, and high-volume venues where broken glass creates both safety risks and service disruption.

In busy service settings, polycarbonate drinkware of this quality holds up well to repeated use, commercial glasswashing cycles, and the general handling demands of fast-paced bar operations. The margarita profile is a recognised shape that supports consistent cocktail presentation, which matters when venues need to maintain a standard across a full service period rather than just at the start of the evening.

Key practical advantages for operators include:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and safety incidents
• Polycarbonate material offers a closer visual resemblance to glass than standard plastic
• Suited to outdoor, poolside, and licensed venue environments
• Supplied in a box of 12, supporting practical stock management
• Compatible with commercial glasswashing equipment

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware, while durable, will show surface scratching over time with heavy use and aggressive washing. Operators should factor in a replacement cycle rather than treating these as permanent glassware. They are not suitable for environments requiring heat-resistant drinkware, such as hot drinks service.

This product is well suited to licensed outdoor venues, events caterers, leisure and hospitality sites, and any operation where shatterproof drinkware is a practical or regulatory requirement. For venues running very high cocktail volumes, it is worth considering whether additional case quantities would better meet service demand.

If you are specifying drinkware across a new venue or outdoor space and want guidance on quantities or suitability, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Design+ Osteria is a polycarbonate wine glass holding 245ml, designed to replicate the look and feel of conventional glassware without the fragility. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, it is shatterproof — an important practical consideration wherever broken glass presents a safety or operational risk.

In busy outdoor or poolside settings, conventional glassware is often restricted entirely. Polycarbonate drinkware like the Osteria allows operators to maintain a credible beverage presentation in those environments without compromising the guest experience. The material is robust enough to withstand the handling demands of high-turnover service, and the Osteria's profile is styled closely enough to a standard wine glass that it reads as proper tableware rather than a compromise product.

• Shatterproof polycarbonate — suitable where glass is restricted or prohibited
• Appropriate for wine and other beverage service in outdoor, rooftop, and poolside settings
• Holds its appearance well under regular commercial use and washing cycles
• Supplied in a box of 12, suited to batch stocking for events or seasonal outdoor covers

It is worth noting that polycarbonate, while durable, will show surface scratching over time if washed alongside abrasive items or with harsh chemicals. Using appropriate commercial glasswasher detergents will extend the service life of each glass.

This glass is well suited to venues with outdoor covers, rooftop bars, event spaces, or any setting where glass safety policies apply. Operators running higher-volume outdoor service may want to consider stocking in greater quantity given the throughput demands of busy summer periods.

If you are specifying drinkware for a new outdoor area or reviewing your current polycarbonate range, the team is happy to discuss what quantities and styles tend to work well in practice.

The Steelite Design+ Grande Margarita is a 473ml polycarbonate drinkware piece from the Design+ Contemporary collection, manufactured by Strahl and supplied by Steelite. It is designed to replicate the look and feel of glassware while being made from durable polycarbonate, making it shatterproof and therefore practical for environments where standard glass is unsuitable or prohibited.

In operational terms, polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used in rooftop bars, poolside service areas, outdoor terraces, and festival or event catering where the risk of breakage carries a safety or liability concern. The margarita format suits cocktail and mocktail service, and the 473ml capacity is a practical size for standard cocktail portions. Polycarbonate does not carry the weight penalty of genuine glassware, which can ease handling pressure on floor staff during busy service periods.

Key practical considerations for operators:

• Shatterproof polycarbonate construction suitable for outdoor and high-risk service areas
• 473ml capacity suited to standard cocktail and margarita portions
• Reusable and designed to maintain a glass-like appearance over repeated service
• Supplied in a box of 12, practical for stock management and table setups
• Lightweight construction reduces handling strain during high-volume service

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware requires careful washing — high-temperature commercial dishwashers and abrasive cleaners can cloud or damage the surface over time. Hand washing or gentle low-temperature cycles will extend the life of the product significantly. Polycarbonate is also not suitable for microwave use.

This product is well suited to licensed venues, hotel pool bars, outdoor event caterers, and any operator needing presentable drinkware in a glass-free environment. If you serve high volumes across multiple outdoor areas and need to assess quantities or presentation options, the team is happy to help you work through the right approach before you order.

The Steelite Design+ Classic is a 245ml polycarbonate wine glass designed for commercial beverage service in environments where conventional glassware presents a safety or practical problem. Made from polycarbonate, each glass is shatterproof, making it a straightforward choice for outdoor terraces, rooftop bars, poolside areas, and festival or event catering where broken glass is a genuine operational and safety concern.

In practice, polycarbonate drinkware of this kind performs well across high-turnover service periods. The glasses are robust enough to handle repeated commercial use and the washing cycles that come with it, whilst retaining a clarity that more closely resembles glass than standard plastic alternatives. For operators who want to maintain a degree of presentation quality without the liability of breakages, this is a practical middle ground.

Key operational advantages include:

• Shatterproof construction eliminates breakage risk in high-risk service environments
• Suitable for outdoor, poolside and rooftop service where glass is prohibited or inadvisable
• Maintains presentation quality without the cost and risk of standard glassware
• Polycarbonate construction supports repeat commercial use and regular dishwashing
• Sold in boxes of 12, suited to batch purchasing for event and venue stock

It is worth noting that polycarbonate can scratch over time with abrasive cleaning, and fine scratches will gradually affect clarity. Operators should avoid steel wool or abrasive chemicals and follow the manufacturer's recommended care guidelines to extend service life.

These glasses are well suited to bars, hotels, event venues, and outdoor hospitality operations with regular demand for shatterproof beverage service. If you are equipping a larger venue or require a broader range of polycarbonate drinkware formats, it is worth considering whether a fuller range selection would better suit your service needs.

If you are unsure which drinkware specification fits your operation, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Design+ Classic wine glass is a 384ml polycarbonate glass designed for commercial beverage service in environments where conventional glassware presents a safety or practical risk. Made from polycarbonate, these glasses are shatterproof, making them a sensible choice for operators who need to maintain a presentable table setting without the breakage risks associated with standard glass.

In busy outdoor or high-footfall environments, glassware breakage creates both a safety hazard and a service interruption. Polycarbonate glasses of this type are commonly used in rooftop bars, poolside service areas, festival catering, and licensed premises where local rules or site safety policies restrict the use of glass. The 384ml capacity is appropriate for standard wine service, and the Design+ Classic range is styled to sit closer to the appearance of real glassware than many alternatives in this category.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and associated replacement costs
• Suitable for environments where glass is prohibited by licence conditions or venue policy
• Polycarbonate material is robust enough to withstand repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Maintains a more formal presentation than standard plastic disposables
• Supplied in a box of 12, suited to initial stock or topping up existing sets

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware, while durable, can become cloudy over time with heavy use and high-temperature washing. Using the correct dishwasher cycle and detergent will help preserve clarity. These glasses are not intended for hot beverages.

This product is well suited to licensed outdoor venues, event catering operators, and hospitality sites requiring a glassware alternative. If your service volume or aesthetic requirements differ from the standard format, it is worth speaking with us to ensure the right product and quantity for your operation.

The Steelite Design+ Grande is a 414ml polycarbonate wine glass designed for commercial beverage service in environments where glassware breakage is a genuine operational concern. Made from polycarbonate, the glass is shatterproof, making it a practical choice for outdoor terraces, rooftop bars, poolside service, and any venue where the combination of hard surfaces, high footfall, and moving staff creates a real breakage risk.

In service, polycarbonate drinkware of this type is routinely used where licensing conditions, insurance requirements, or venue management policies restrict the use of conventional glass. The Design+ Grande is shaped to present well — it reads as a wine glass rather than a compromise — which matters in settings where guest experience and presentation standards are still expected to be high despite the practical constraints of the environment.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages include:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and associated replacement costs
• Suitable for poolside, rooftop, and outdoor terrace service where glass may be restricted
• 414ml capacity works comfortably for standard wine pours by the glass
• Polycarbonate material is robust under repeated handling and stack storage
• Supplied in a box of 12, giving a practical unit for stock management

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware requires careful cleaning — high-temperature commercial dishwashers and harsh chemical detergents can cloud or damage the material over time. Checking compatibility with your wash programme before committing to large volumes is advisable.

These glasses are best suited to bars, hotels, event caterers, and leisure venues where outdoor or restricted-glass service is a regular part of the operation. For venues with very high throughput or where glasses are rarely returned intact, it may be worth discussing volume requirements and stock rotation with us before ordering.

If you are unsure whether this style fits your service format or you would like to talk through quantities, we are happy to help.

The Steelite Design+ Pina Colada glass is a 399ml polycarbonate drinkware piece designed for beverage service in environments where conventional glassware presents a practical risk. Made from polycarbonate, it is shatterproof and therefore suitable for use in settings where broken glass cannot be tolerated — poolside bars, rooftop terraces, outdoor events, and leisure venues where guests are likely to be barefoot or moving about freely.

Polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used in licensed hospitality venues that need to maintain a presentable drinks service without the liability associated with glass. The Design+ range from Steelite is produced to a higher aesthetic standard than standard-issue plastic cups, meaning the appearance remains appropriate for cocktail and premium beverage service rather than looking purely functional.

Practically, polycarbonate drinkware requires consistent cleaning and inspection. It should be washed at appropriate temperatures and checked regularly for scratching or cloudiness, which can develop with heavy use over time and affect both appearance and hygiene. It is not intended as a permanent substitute for glassware in all settings, but works well as a durable option in the right environment.

• Shatterproof construction removes broken glass risk in high-footfall outdoor areas
• Suitable for cocktail and premium beverage presentation at outdoor events
• Sold in boxes of 12, practical for stocking service stations and bar backs
• Polycarbonate material keeps weight low, easing handling during busy service

This product is well suited to leisure venues, outdoor hospitality operators, event caterers, and licensed premises with poolside or terrace service. If you are stocking for high-volume or frequent-turnover service, it is worth discussing quantities and the full Design+ range with the team before ordering.

The Steelite Design+ Mixing Glass is a 473ml polycarbonate drinking vessel designed for commercial beverage service in environments where glassware presents a practical or safety risk. Made from polycarbonate, it is shatterproof and considerably more durable than standard glass, making it a sensible choice for outdoor hospitality settings where broken glass would be a hazard and a liability.

In operation, polycarbonate drinkware of this type holds up well under the demands of busy service — handling repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without the fragility concerns that come with glass. For venues running high-turnover outdoor service, the reduced breakage rate alone can make a meaningful difference to running costs over a season.

The practical advantages for operators include:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage loss and safety incidents
• Suitable for commercial dishwasher use, supporting fast turnaround
• Lightweight handling eases load for front-of-house staff during busy service
• Maintains a presentable appearance in outdoor and poolside settings
• Sold in boxes of 12, simplifying stock management and reordering

It is worth noting that polycarbonate, while durable, will show scratching over time with heavy use and abrasive cleaning — operators should factor this into replacement planning. Polycarbonate drinkware is also not suited to hot beverages, so its use case is specifically cold drinks service.

This mixing glass is well suited to rooftop bars, poolside venues, outdoor events caterers, and any licensed premises where glass is prohibited or impractical. For operations needing a broader range of polycarbonate beverage formats — wine glasses, champagne flutes, and so on — the wider Design+ collection covers these requirements.

If you are equipping a new outdoor venue or reviewing your drinkware strategy ahead of a busy season, we are happy to help you think through quantities and format options.

The Steelite Design+ beer mug is a 512ml polycarbonate drinking vessel designed to replicate the look and feel of glassware without the breakage risk. Made from food-grade polycarbonate, it is shatterproof under normal service conditions, making it a practical choice wherever standard glass poses a safety or operational concern.

In busy outdoor service settings — rooftop bars, poolside hospitality, festival catering, beer gardens, and stadium concourses — glassware breakage is a persistent problem. Polycarbonate alternatives like this mug allow operators to maintain a presentable drinks service without the associated risk of injury to guests or staff, or the hidden cost of constant glassware replacement. The Design+ range is positioned towards the more presentable end of polycarbonate drinkware, making it a reasonable fit for venues where aesthetics still matter alongside practicality.

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage incidents in outdoor and high-footfall areas
• Reusable polycarbonate is more cost-effective over time than disposable alternatives
• Suitable for high-volume service where rapid turnover demands durable drinkware
• Maintains a more premium appearance than standard utility polycarbonate mugs
• Sold in boxes of 12, practical for stocking across multiple service points

Polycarbonate drinkware does require appropriate care to maintain its appearance. It should be washed at lower temperatures and kept away from abrasive cleaning products or scourers, which can cause surface scratching and cloudiness over time. It is not suited to environments where high-temperature glasswashers are the only cleaning option — check your machine's cycle temperature before committing to polycarbonate across a site.

This mug is well suited to licensed venues, event caterers, outdoor hospitality operators, and leisure facilities where shatterproof drinkware is either a preference or a requirement. If you are equipping a larger site or need guidance on polycarbonate drinkware across multiple formats, the team is happy to talk through what works best for your operation.

The Steelite Design+ champagne flute is a polycarbonate alternative to conventional glassware, holding 166ml and sold in boxes of twelve. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, each flute is shatterproof, making it a practical choice wherever broken glass presents a safety or operational risk.

In commercial service, the flute performs well in environments where standard glassware is impractical or prohibited. Rooftop bars, poolside service, festival hospitality, and large outdoor events are typical settings. The polycarbonate construction means pieces can be handled with less care than glass during collection and transport, which reduces breakage losses and the time staff spend managing shattered items during busy service periods.

Key practical considerations for operators:

• Shatterproof polycarbonate construction — no glass breakage risk
• 166ml capacity — appropriate for standard champagne and sparkling wine pours
• Sold in boxes of twelve — practical for stock management and event quantities
• Lightweight enough for tray service at volume
• Surface designed to retain the appearance of glassware in presentation settings

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware requires careful cleaning. High-temperature commercial dishwashers and abrasive detergents can cloud or scratch the surface over time, shortening service life. Hand washing or low-temperature cycles are generally recommended by manufacturers to maintain clarity. Operators should factor this into their cleaning procedures before committing to large quantities.

This flute is well suited to outdoor hospitality venues, event caterers, and licensed premises with poolside or rooftop areas where glass is restricted. For indoor fine dining where glass remains acceptable, a conventional crystal or lead-free glass flute may better suit the setting.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right fit for your operation, we are happy to talk through your service requirements.

The Steelite Design+ Martini glass is a 296ml polycarbonate drinkware piece designed to replicate the look of conventional glassware in environments where glass presents a safety or operational risk. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, the collection is shatterproof, making it a practical option wherever breakage is a concern — outdoor terraces, rooftop bars, poolside service, and festival or event catering being the most common applications.

In busy service environments, the practical case for polycarbonate is straightforward. Broken glass in a poolside or outdoor bar setting creates immediate safety and service disruption. Switching to a well-presented polycarbonate alternative allows operators to maintain a credible presentation standard without the hazard. The Design+ range is manufactured to hold its appearance across repeated use cycles, resisting the cloudiness that cheaper polycarbonate pieces can develop over time.

Operationally, this format suits venues where the guest experience needs to remain polished despite the constraints of the setting:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses in high-risk service areas
• Polycarbonate material is lightweight, reducing fatigue for service staff
• 296ml capacity is appropriate for standard cocktail and martini serves
• Supplied in boxes of 12, supporting straightforward stock management
• Maintains presentable appearance across repeated service and wash cycles

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware, including this range, is not intended to replace glassware in standard indoor fine-dining or formal bar settings — the material has a different look and feel under close inspection. It performs best where practicality and safety are the primary drivers of the choice.

This glass is well suited to outdoor hospitality venues, event caterers, leisure and spa facilities, and any site operating poolside or rooftop beverage service. For operations requiring a broader range of polycarbonate formats — wine, champagne, or highball — companion pieces are available within the same Design+ collection.

If you are specifying drinkware across a new outdoor venue or reviewing your current polycarbonate range, we are happy to help you work through the options before you commit to quantities.

The Steelite Design+ Martini glass is a 355ml polycarbonate drinkware piece designed to replicate the appearance of conventional glassware while eliminating the breakage risk that comes with outdoor and high-footfall service environments. Made from polycarbonate, it is shatterproof and well suited to settings where glass is prohibited or simply impractical.

In operational terms, polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used in rooftop bars, poolside venues, festival hospitality, and anywhere that glass poses a safety or liability concern. The martini profile means it works for classic cocktail service without requiring staff to switch to a visually inferior alternative during outdoor service periods.

Practical advantages for front-of-house teams include:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and disposal hazards
• Polycarbonate material is lightweight, easing handling during busy service
• Maintains a glassware aesthetic appropriate for cocktail presentation
• Sold in boxes of 12, suited to stocking up or replacing existing sets
• Compatible with poolside and outdoor venues where glass is restricted

It is worth noting that polycarbonate, while durable, is not suitable for dishwasher cycles that use harsh detergents or very high temperatures over time, as this can cause clouding. Hand washing or low-temperature programmes are generally recommended to preserve clarity. These glasses are also not designed for hot beverages.

This glass is best suited to licensed venues, hotels, and event caterers operating outdoor or restricted-glass service points. If your operation requires a larger format or a different bowl profile for the cocktail menu you run, it is worth discussing the full range before committing to a box quantity.

If you are putting together a full outdoor drinkware specification or are unsure which format suits your menu, feel free to get in touch with the team for a straightforward conversation.

The Steelite Design+ Martini glass is a 240ml polycarbonate drinkware piece designed to replicate the look of conventional glassware in environments where standard glass is impractical or poses a safety risk. Made from polycarbonate, it is shatterproof by nature, making it a practical choice for outdoor hospitality settings where broken glass is a genuine operational concern.

In service, polycarbonate at this quality level holds its clarity reasonably well with correct care, and the martini profile suits cocktail and spirits service in a way that a standard tumbler does not. For rooftop bars, poolside venues, festival bars, and outdoor event catering, this style of drinkware allows operators to maintain a considered presentation without compromising on guest or staff safety.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and safety incidents outdoors
• Polycarbonate material is lightweight, easing handling during busy service
• Martini profile suits cocktail menus and adds a level of presentation polish
• Supplied in a box of 12, practical for building par stock or topping up existing sets
• Suitable for venues where glass is prohibited by licence condition or house policy

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware requires careful washing — high-temperature or harsh detergent cycles can cloud the material over time. Hand washing or low-temperature machine cycles will extend the service life noticeably. These glasses are not a substitute for fine crystal in a formal dining setting, but they are well suited to the outdoor and casual hospitality contexts they are designed for.

If you are stocking a new outdoor space or refreshing an existing set and want to talk through quantities or suitability for your venue type, we are happy to help.

The Steelite Design+ Mixing Glass is a 591ml polycarbonate drinkware piece from the Design+ Contemporary collection, manufactured by Strahl and supplied through Steelite. Polycarbonate construction means the glass is shatterproof throughout its service life, making it a practical choice wherever standard glassware presents a safety or breakage risk.

In busy outdoor or semi-outdoor environments — rooftop bars, poolside service, festival hospitality, or stadium concessions — breakage from dropped glassware is a constant operational concern. A polycarbonate mixing glass of this type removes that risk without requiring guests to accept an obviously utilitarian vessel. The Design+ Contemporary range is specifically shaped and finished to read as conventional glassware in a guest's hand, which matters where presentation standards are part of the service offer.

Key practical advantages for operators include:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and risk of injury
• Suitable for high-turnover outdoor service without compromising presentation
• Dishwasher compatible, supporting efficient turnaround between covers
• Supplied in a box of 12, suited to par-stock and bulk replacement needs
• Lightweight handling reduces fatigue for front-of-house staff during busy service

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware can cloud or scratch over time with repeated dishwasher cycles, particularly if abrasive chemicals are used. Operators should follow the manufacturer's care guidance and plan for periodic replacement as part of normal stock management.

This glass suits venues where outdoor or poolside service is a regular part of the operation rather than an occasional arrangement. It is less relevant for indoor fine-dining environments where standard glass remains appropriate and practical.

If you are stocking a new venue or expanding an existing outdoor service offer and want guidance on quantities or matching pieces within the range, the team is happy to help you work through the requirement.

The Steelite Design+ Mixing Glass is a 414ml polycarbonate drinkware piece designed for commercial beverage service in environments where standard glassware presents a practical or safety risk. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, it is shatterproof by nature — an important consideration for rooftop bars, poolside settings, outdoor terraces, and any high-footfall venue where broken glass creates a genuine hazard for staff and guests alike.

In service, polycarbonate drinkware of this type holds up well under the demands of busy shifts. The material resists cracking and chipping through repeated handling, commercial glasswashing cycles, and the knocks that come with high-volume service. The 414ml capacity makes it a practical size for mixed drinks and long serves, and the Design+ range is shaped to give a more considered presentation than basic utility-grade polycarbonate alternatives.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and injury risk
• Suitable for commercial glasswasher use
• Supplied in a box of 12 for straightforward stock management
• Consistent appearance maintained across a full set for front-of-house presentation
• Lightweight handling reduces fatigue during high-volume service

It is worth noting that polycarbonate, while durable, can dull or discolour over time if cleaned with abrasive chemicals or outside recommended temperature ranges. Following the manufacturer's care guidance will extend the usable life of each piece considerably. This format suits venues with moderate to high glass turnover; operations requiring a very large initial quantity may want to discuss volume options.

This mixing glass is well suited to licensed premises, event catering operations, hotel pool and spa areas, and any venue managing outdoor beverage service. If you are equipping a new outdoor space or replacing existing stock and would like guidance on quantities or complementary pieces from the range, the team is happy to help you work through the requirements.

The Steelite Design+ Contemporary Cooler is a 680ml polycarbonate cooler glass aimed at operators who need to maintain a presentable drinks offering in environments where standard glassware isn't practical. Made from polycarbonate, each piece is shatterproof, making it a sensible choice for rooftop bars, poolside service, outdoor terraces, and any high-footfall area where broken glass would present a genuine safety or operational risk.

Polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used in venues that want to uphold a degree of presentation without the breakage losses and service interruptions that come with glass. The 680ml capacity suits long drinks, coolers, and spritz-style serves, and the Design+ aesthetic sits comfortably alongside quality tableware rather than looking like a purely functional compromise.

From a practical standpoint, the key advantages for operators are:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and eliminates glass disposal risk
• Suitable for poolside, outdoor terrace, and rooftop bar environments
• Polycarbonate material supports high-turnover service without frequent replacement
• 680ml capacity works across a range of long drink and cooler serves
• Sold in boxes of 12, which suits both initial stock and ongoing replenishment orders

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware requires care with cleaning — commercial glasswashers can be used, but harsh abrasive chemicals and very high temperatures over time may affect clarity. Operators should follow the manufacturer's care guidance to maintain appearance across a full service life.

This product is well suited to hotels, bars, event caterers, and leisure venues where outdoor or poolside service is part of the offering. If you are unsure whether polycarbonate is the right material for your specific service context, we are happy to talk it through.

The Steelite Design+ Clear is a polycarbonate beverage cup designed for commercial operators who need drinkware that presents well but can withstand the practical demands of outdoor or high-risk service environments. At 502ml, it sits comfortably in the beverage tumbler category and is suited to a wide range of drinks service occasions.

Polycarbonate construction means the cup is shatterproof, which makes it a practical choice wherever standard glassware carries a risk — rooftop bars, poolside terraces, festival catering, event hospitality, and any venue where dropped glassware creates a safety or operational problem. The clear finish maintains a presentable appearance closer to glass than opaque plasticware, which matters in front-of-house settings where presentation standards are high.

From an operational standpoint, these cups offer a few day-to-day advantages worth noting:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and associated service interruptions
• Clear polycarbonate gives a glass-like appearance without the safety risk
• Supplied in a box of 12, suited to building stock across a venue
• Lightweight handling supports faster bar and floor service
• Reduces the need for constant glassware replacement in high-turnover outdoor settings

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware requires careful washing — high-temperature commercial dishwashers and certain detergents can degrade the material over time, so checking compatibility with your warewasher chemicals is advisable before committing to volume stock.

These cups are well suited to outdoor hospitality, event caterers, and licensed venues with terrace or poolside service. For operations requiring stemware formats or different capacities, other items within the Design+ range may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this format suits your service style or volume requirements, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Steelite Design+ Double Old Fashioned is a 414ml polycarbonate tumbler designed to replicate the appearance of glass while removing the breakage risk associated with traditional glassware. Made from polycarbonate, these glasses are shatterproof, making them a practical choice wherever broken glass presents a genuine safety or operational problem.

In commercial hospitality settings, polycarbonate drinkware earns its place in situations where glass simply isn't viable. Poolside bars, roof terraces, festival and event catering, sports venues, and high-volume outdoor service areas are all environments where standard glassware creates unnecessary risk and waste. The Design+ range sits at the more considered end of the polycarbonate market — the clarity and profile are closer to glass than standard polycarbonate tumblers, which helps maintain presentation standards without compromising safety.

Practical advantages for operators include:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and injury risk in high-traffic areas
• Polycarbonate material is significantly lighter than glass, easing carrying and reducing fatigue during busy service
• Suitable for dishwasher cleaning, supporting efficient turnaround during service
• Sold in boxes of 12, simplifying stock management and reordering
• Clear finish maintains a presentable look in front-of-house settings

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware, over time and with repeated dishwasher cycles, can develop a cloudy appearance. Operators should avoid abrasive cleaners and follow manufacturer guidance on wash temperatures to extend the working life of the glasses. These are not a direct substitute for fine glassware in formal dining settings, but for the environments they are designed for, they perform reliably.

These tumblers are well suited to casual dining operations, leisure and hospitality venues, outdoor event catering, and any setting where a glassware ban or safety policy is in place. For venues requiring a broader polycarbonate range — including wine, hi-ball, or stemware formats — there are other profiles available within the Design+ collection.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right call for your operation, or need help selecting the right profiles for your service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Steelite Design+ Clear Rocks glass is a 296ml polycarbonate tumbler designed to replicate the appearance of glassware while eliminating the breakage risk associated with it. Made from polycarbonate, it is shatterproof and well suited to environments where standard glassware presents a safety or operational concern.

In busy service settings, polycarbonate drinkware offers a practical advantage wherever glass breakage would cause significant disruption — poolside areas, rooftop bars, festival and event catering, outdoor terraces, and high-volume casual dining environments. The Design+ range is produced to a standard that maintains a credible drinks presentation, avoiding the cloudy or lightweight appearance that lower-grade polycarbonate can carry.

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and safety hazards
• Clear polycarbonate maintains a glass-like appearance for presentation
• Rocks format suits spirits, cocktails, and soft drink service
• Sold in boxes of 12, suited to ongoing stock rotation
• Appropriate for outdoor, poolside, and event service environments

Being polycarbonate, these glasses should be handled in line with the manufacturer's care guidance — high-temperature commercial dishwasher cycles and certain sanitising chemicals can cause clouding or surface degradation over time, so it is worth confirming your warewashing setup is compatible before committing to large volumes.

This glass is best suited to operators running outdoor or open-air service, leisure venues, hotels with pool or terrace facilities, or any setting where glass-free policies apply. For operators requiring a full coordinated range, the Design+ collection extends across additional formats. If you are specifying drinkware across a new venue or need guidance on volumes, we are happy to help you work through the options.

The Steelite Design+ Water/Soda Goblet is a polycarbonate drinkware piece designed for commercial beverage service in environments where standard glassware presents a safety or breakage risk. Manufactured from polycarbonate, the goblet is shatterproof, making it a practical choice for rooftop bars, poolside service, festival catering, and outdoor hospitality settings where glass is either prohibited or operationally unsuitable. Each box contains 12 goblets.

In busy service settings, polycarbonate drinkware of this quality holds up well under repeated handling, racking through commercial glasswashers, and the general wear of high-volume service. The 414ml capacity suits water, soft drinks, and soda-based serves, and the goblet form maintains a more formal presentation than a standard tumbler — an important consideration for venues that want to preserve table standards when moving away from glass.

For operators, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and glass-on-floor incidents
• Suitable for outdoor and poolside service where glass is restricted
• Goblet profile supports formal presentation without real glass
• Polycarbonate construction is compatible with commercial glasswashing
• Sold in boxes of 12, simplifying stock management

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware can show surface scratching over time, particularly with heavy commercial use or abrasive cleaning agents. Using the correct glasswasher chemistry will help extend the life of the product. These goblets are not intended for hot beverages.

This goblet suits venues running outdoor terraces, rooftop bars, poolside service, or any setting where glass-free presentation is a requirement. For operators needing a broader range of polycarbonate shapes — including wine, champagne flutes, or highballs — it is worth discussing which pieces work together across your service style before ordering in volume. The team is happy to help you work that through.

The Steelite Design+ Water/Soda Goblet is a polycarbonate alternative to conventional glassware, designed for service environments where breakage is a practical concern. Each goblet holds 355ml and is constructed from polycarbonate — a material that provides the visual weight and clarity of glass without the fragility. Supplied in a box of twelve.

In operational terms, polycarbonate drinkware earns its place in outdoor terraces, rooftop bars, poolside service, event catering, and anywhere that glass represents a safety or logistical risk. The goblet format suits still or sparkling water service and works equally well for soft drinks, making it a practical all-rounder for table coverage during busy service periods. Because breakages are dramatically reduced, operators typically find wastage costs fall and service runs more smoothly, particularly during high-turnover sessions.

From a practical standpoint, the Design+ range is worth considering where presentation still matters despite the move away from glass. Polycarbonate of this quality retains clarity over repeated use when handled correctly, though it is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware will scratch if washed alongside cutlery or abrasive materials, and should be run through a dedicated glasswasher cycle on a lower temperature setting — high temperatures can cause clouding over time.

• Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses in high-risk service areas
• Goblet format is suitable for water, soda, and soft drinks service
• Polycarbonate clarity supports presentable table settings outdoors
• Supplied in cases of twelve, practical for setting and stock rotation

This goblet is well suited to outdoor hospitality, events, and venues where glass is restricted. If your operation runs higher volumes or requires a broader range of drinkware formats, it is worth speaking to us about what else sits within the Design+ collection.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate is the right choice for your service style or wash-up setup, we are happy to talk it through.

The Steelite Design+ Water Goblet is a polycarbonate drinking glass designed to replicate the look and feel of traditional glassware while offering the practical resilience required in outdoor and high-risk service settings. At 296ml, it sits at a standard water and soft drink capacity, and it is sold in cases of twelve, making it straightforward to stock in useful quantities.

Polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used in rooftop bars, poolside service areas, festival catering, and any environment where broken glass presents a safety or operational risk. The material is shatterproof under normal service conditions, which reduces breakage losses and removes the hazard of glass fragments in areas where bare feet or high footfall are a consideration. Despite being plastic, the Design+ range is shaped and weighted to present more closely to glass than standard utility polycarbonate, which matters when presentation standards are high.

From a practical standpoint, operators typically find polycarbonate goblets of this kind offer a reasonable service life when handled and cleaned correctly. Key operational considerations include:

• Shatterproof construction suited to outdoor and poolside service
• Polycarbonate material compatible with commercial glasswashers at appropriate temperatures
• Consistent 296ml capacity across the case for standardised portioning
• Presentation profile designed to complement formal and semi-formal table settings
• Sold in cases of 12, supporting straightforward stock management

It is worth noting that polycarbonate will scratch and cloud over time, particularly if washed with abrasive chemicals or stacked carelessly. Replacing stock periodically is a normal part of managing this type of drinkware, and operators running high volumes may wish to consider par stock levels accordingly. These goblets are well suited to seasonal outdoor operations, event catering, and leisure venues. For venues requiring a full matching range, the Design+ collection extends across other beverage formats.
