Why Our Team Recommends Custom Drink Coasters
Branded drink coasters strike the perfect balance between visibility, functionality, and affordability. Unlike many promotional items that might be tucked away in a drawer, coasters are always in use, keeping your brand in front of customers. They are an eco-friendly choice when made from cork or recycled cardboard, while materials like bamboo and leatherette offer a premium feel for corporate settings. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly giveaway or an elegant corporate gift, drink coasters cater to every branding need.
What Are Custom Drink Coasters?
Drink coasters are small, flat surfaces designed to protect tables and countertops from condensation rings, spills, and heat damage. Available in round, square, and custom shapes, they are crafted from a range of materials:
- Cardboard & Paperboard: Disposable yet high-impact for events and promotions.
- Cork: Naturally absorbent, lightweight, and eco-friendly.
- Bamboo & Wood: Adds a premium touch to restaurants, offices, and client gifts.
- Plastic & Acrylic: Durable, easy to clean, and ideal for outdoor venues.
- Rubber & Silicone: Slip-resistant and perfect for high-traffic hospitality use.
Branded coasters are commonly used in bars, cafes, hotels, corporate offices, and trade show booths, making them one of the most versatile promotional products available.

Case Study: EOS Boosts Website Traffic by 15% with Coasters
EOS, a leader in designing, developing, and building high-precision remote weapon systems, purchased 450 custom-printed drink coasters featuring their logo and cybersecurity campaign taglines, such as “Don’t click on links!” “Think before you click,” “Report dodgy emails,” and “Double-check the sender.” While EOS is known for its advanced technology in defence systems, they chose these coasters to communicate a growing concern in their industry and beyond—the need to protect sensitive data in a world that’s gone fully digital. These coasters were practical and highly visible, ensuring that the cybersecurity messages would be seen daily by staff, clients, and visitors in meetings and common areas.
Key Metrics & Results:
- 25% more cybersecurity-related inquiries from clients and external partners during follow-up meetings, where the coasters sparked conversations about best practices for data security.
- 15% rise in internal website traffic to the cybersecurity training section of EOS’s intranet, as employees proactively sought more information after noticing the coaster messages.
By tapping into the everyday use of coasters, EOS drove a sustained, subtle push for better cybersecurity awareness across its staff and clients, effectively increasing engagement without the need for heavy-handed approaches.
