Steelite Design+ Footed Pilsner Glass 414ml Polycarbonate (Box 12)

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.
