Custom Metal Coasters for Bars, Cafés and Homeware Brands

Whether for a café or a gift for your customers, start with the size and artwork you need. We can discuss materials, finishes and manufacturing options around your brand identity, use requirements and budget.

Café purchasingBranded giftsCustom brand artwork

Send your overall dimensions, brand artwork and expected quantity. If the material or finish is undecided, tell us the look and use you have in mind.

For cafés and branded gifts

We have delivered metal coasters in production batches. Share your overall dimensions and the logo, colors or graphics from your brand guidelines to coordinate your café supplies and gifts.

If you have specific corrosion-resistance, scratch-resistance or cleaning requirements, include them with your inquiry. We will discuss these alongside appearance, quantity and budget to help define the specification.

Coffee-chain locations

Tell us about the cups, coaster dimensions and daily use and cleaning. The artwork can follow your café's visual identity.

Gifts for your customers

Send your brand artwork, logo position and packaging ideas. Reference images can also help communicate the gift style you want.

Choose your material and surface appearance

You can discuss copper, aluminum or stainless steel coasters. If you have drawings, include the grade, thickness and overall dimensions. If the material is undecided, start with an appearance reference and use requirements.

CopperGrade and thickness to suit your requirements
AluminumGrade and thickness to suit your requirements
Stainless steelGrade and thickness to suit your requirements

Depending on the material, we can discuss spray painting, abrasive blasting followed by anodizing, and other finishes. For an antique or bronze-like appearance, copper can also be heat-colored. UV printing, laser marking or decorative pattern cutting can reproduce your logo and artwork; the choice follows your design and desired effect.

Put your brand artwork on the coaster
The sunrise-and-wave artwork uses UV printing. You can replace it with your logo, brand graphics or an event theme, with separate designs for the front and back.

Choose a route for your outline and logo

We will discuss laser cutting, stamping or CNC machining around the outline, material and logo appearance. Printing artwork directly and machining a logo profile call for different operations.

Aluminum coaster manufacturing options

From outline to artwork, choose for your requirements

  1. 01Outline machining
  2. 02Surface finishing
  3. 03Choose logo and artwork processes from the drawing

Depending on the look you want, you can choose CNC engraving, laser marking or a combination. We will determine the actual sequence around artwork detail, engraving depth and surface requirements.

Share the effect you want and your budget

A design can be discussed with different materials, finishes and artwork processes. Tell us whether color, texture, corrosion resistance, scratch resistance or budget matters most; we can compare options against dimensions and expected quantity.

We check samples to the agreed requirements before dispatch

Before sampling, we will confirm the drawings, brand artwork, appearance references and checks with you. Once samples are made, we will check them and record the results before dispatch. After receipt, you confirm the brand appearance and actual use, and tell us what needs adjusting.

01 · Before sampling

Agree requirements together

Confirm dimensional tolerances, artwork revision, appearance references, required tests and acceptance conditions.

02 · Samples completed · Before dispatch

We check first

Check dimensions, artwork, edges and packaging; arrange wiping, scratch-resistance and corrosion checks according to the plan agreed beforehand.

03 · After you receive the samples

You confirm the use and appearance

Focus on brand appearance, cup fit and real use, then send us any requested adjustments.

What we check first and what we agree beforehand

Check 01

Overall dimensions and outline

After making the samples, we will check diameter, length, width, outline and specified thickness against the approved drawing and record key dimensions.

Agree beforehand:Drawing revision, critical dimensions, measurement locations and permitted deviations.

Check 02

Artwork and brand identity

We will compare the logo, text, orientation and position against approved artwork and appearance references, checking for obvious print omissions, ghosting or scratches. After receipt, you can confirm that the overall result suits your brand.

Agree beforehand:Front and back artwork, placement, color and gloss references, and the color-approval method.

Check 03

Edges and stability

We will check for obvious burrs or sharp edges and assess stability on a level surface. For a specific cup, we will agree the checking method using your dimensions or reference sample.

Agree beforehand:Cup details, tabletop conditions, and requirements for edges and stability.

Check 04

Wiping and surface scratch resistance

We will arrange sample checks using the agreed wiping materials, cleaning method and conditions, recording changes to the artwork and surface. If a defined scratch-resistance rating is required, the test method and arrangements will be agreed before sampling.

Agree beforehand:Wiping material, cleaner, force, cycles and acceptable changes; requirements for any specific scratch test.

Check 05

Moisture exposure and corrosion resistance

Where moisture or corrosion requirements apply, we will first agree the exposure conditions and acceptance criteria, then arrange checks or specific testing under that plan and report the results.

Agree beforehand:Contact medium, duration, temperature, and the required tests and acceptance criteria.

Check 06

Packaging and pre-dispatch checks

Before dispatch, we will verify designs and quantities, surface condition, separation between items and packaging. After receipt, you can report the condition after transport and how the packaging works for you.

Agree beforehand:Individual or bulk packaging, separation requirements, and the design and quantity list.

Specific test items, methods and arrangements are agreed separately before sampling. Your review after receipt focuses on brand appearance and actual use; we carry out our pre-dispatch checks first.

Discuss your coaster project

Send us your dimensions and artwork

Start with a drawing, sketch or reference photo, and tell us whether the coasters are for café use or gifts, the expected quantity and desired appearance. If materials, finishes or packaging are undecided, let us know so we can discuss the options with you.

Buyer questions

Common buyer questions

Have a question about your part? Leave a message and a reply email.

Can I start without a finished drawing?

Yes. Send a sketch, photo or reference sample, describe the intended use and expected quantity, and mark undecided details. The quote can then be based on an agreed specification.

Can you make custom logo metal coasters?

Share the artwork, location, size and desired appearance. The marking method and its compatibility with the chosen finish are confirmed during project review.

Do metal coasters absorb water or insulate a hot cup?

A solid metal surface does not absorb condensation, and metal conducts heat. Water handling and tabletop protection depend on the whole design, any backing and the conditions of use.

Are the pictured coasters stock products?

They are design illustrations. Material grade, dimensions, surface process, backing, packaging, quantities and delivery terms are confirmed for each order.
