Product Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Polycarbonate drinkware is generally not compatible with high-temperature glasswasher cycles, which can cause warping, cloudiness, or surface degradation over time. These mugs are best washed at lower temperatures using non-abrasive detergents — check your glasswasher's cycle settings before putting polycarbonate through it routinely.
- With correct care, polycarbonate drinkware performs well across a season of regular outdoor use. The main consideration is cleaning discipline — abrasive cloths or harsh chemicals will accelerate surface scratching. Operators running high-volume outdoor services typically plan for some attrition and hold adequate stock, which is why the box-of-12 format is a sensible purchasing unit.
- The Design+ range is designed to sit closer to the appearance of glassware than basic utility polycarbonate, which makes it a better fit for venues where presentation matters alongside safety — roof terraces, boutique festival bars, or poolside service at hotels, for example. If you are unsure whether it meets your venue's presentation standards, it is worth requesting a sample before committing to volume.
