Delivery Information

Price Match

These are a straightforward, reliable hi ball tumbler from Utopia — a well-regarded name in commercial glassware. At 280ml, they sit at a practical capacity for soft drinks, mixers, and long cocktails, and are supplied in packs of 48, which suits most bar setups for initial stock or rotation top-ups.

The glasses are fully toughened throughout the body, not just at the rim. Toughening increases overall resistance to the knocks and handling that come with busy bar service — being set down firmly on hard surfaces, passing through glasswashers repeatedly, or being stacked in racks. When toughened glass does break, it fractures into small blunt fragments rather than sharp shards, which is an important safety consideration in licensed premises. Many licensing authorities and operators specify toughened glassware precisely for this reason.

From an operational standpoint, the practical advantages are straightforward:

  • Improved resistance to impact damage across the full body of the glass
  • Safer breakage pattern — small fragments rather than dangerous shards
  • Suitable for commercial glasswasher use and rack storage
  • Consistent shape makes for easy stacking and stock management
  • Pack quantity of 48 supports realistic bar par levels

At 270g, these are a solid, substantial glass — not lightweight, which tends to read better in front-of-house settings and holds up better in day-to-day service. There are no special installation or storage requirements beyond standard glassware handling.

These glasses are well suited to pubs, bars, restaurants, and any licensed venue that needs a dependable, licence-compliant hi ball tumbler in volume. If you're stocking a larger operation or need a different capacity, it's worth speaking to us about the right quantity and size combination for your covers and service style.

Frequently asked questions

Are these glasses suitable for use in licensed premises with toughened glassware requirements?

Yes — these glasses are fully toughened throughout the body, which is the standard required by most licensing authorities and venue operators who specify safer glassware. When they do break, the fragmentation pattern produces small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards, which is the key safety characteristic licensing stipulations are designed to address.

Can these glasses go through a commercial glasswasher regularly?

Toughened glassware is generally well suited to commercial glasswasher use, and these are designed for the demands of repeated service cycles. As with all glassware, avoiding sudden temperature extremes and ensuring glasses aren't overloaded in racks will help extend their working life.

Is a pack of 48 the right quantity for my operation?

For a small to medium bar, 48 glasses is a reasonable starting point or rotation stock level. Busier venues with higher covers or faster turnover may need multiple packs to maintain service without running short during peak periods — it's worth thinking through your typical throughput and glasswasher cycle time before deciding on quantity.
