Custom cork coasters questions, answered.
Everything buyers ask before they order — minimums, timings, artwork and print options.
What is the minimum order?
Our minimum order is just 12 coasters — a single wedding table or one small taproom is a normal order — with volume tiers for venues, programmes and retail.
How fast will my cork coasters arrive?
Your free mockup lands within 24 hours and finished coasters ship in about 2 weeks from your approved proof, with real express available for wedding and launch dates.
What do you mean by ‘a cork sticker on a board’?
Most cheap ‘cork’ coasters are a millimetre of cork veneer glued to an MDF or card core. The veneer peels at the rim, and the first sweating glass that reaches the board swells it. Look at the edge of any coaster: visible layers mean a sticker on a board. Ours are solid pressed cork through the full thickness — one material, all the way down, nothing to peel and nothing to swell.
Why does cork grain matter?
Pressed cork is made of cork granules, and the granule size decides everything you touch: fine grain holds a laser engraving crisp, cuts a clean rim and keeps it for years; coarse cheap agglomerate blurs the mark and crumbs at the edges within weeks. Our grain grade and thickness are stated on every quote.
Engraving or full-colour print?
Engraving for logos, monograms and type — a warm toasted permanent mark that cannot peel or wear. Print for artwork that needs colour, proofed on actual cork tone rather than a white screen. Both sit on the same solid cork base, and we will tell you plainly which suits your artwork.
How does cork behave under a sweating glass?
It is the material’s home ground: cork’s closed-cell structure takes the condensation a glass sheds and lets it breathe back out, grips the table instead of skating, and insulates the surface from a hot mug. A solid cork coaster ends the night dry-backed; a board-core one ends it swollen.
Is cork actually sustainable or is that marketing?
Actually sustainable, and pleasingly so: cork is the bark of the cork oak, harvested by hand without felling — the tree lives, regrows its bark, and is harvested again for decades. Our pressed cork is made from that bark and from stopper-industry offcuts. No tree is cut down for your coasters, which is a sentence very few products on this scale get to say.
Do you make stone coasters or disposable bar mats?
No. Absorbent stone coasters are their own product with their own specialist, and disposable pulpboard drink mats are a different trade entirely. Everything we make is solid cork — engraved, printed, boxed or on programme.
