How many coasters should I order?
One of the most common questions we receive is, “How many beer coasters do I need?”
The answer depends on several factors, including the size of your venue, how busy you are, how often you replace your coasters, and whether they’re being used for everyday service or a special promotion.
As a general guide, here’s a good starting point for most Australian businesses.
| Business or Promotion Type | Suggested Quantity |
|---|---|
| Small café or restaurant | 500–1,000 coasters |
| Local bar or small venue | 1,000–2,500 coasters |
| Pub, hotel or club | 2,500–5,000 coasters |
| Brewery, distillery or product launch | 5,000–10,000 coasters |
| Large event or promotional campaign | 10,000–25,000 coasters |
| National or multi-venue promotion | 25,000+ coasters |
Choosing the Right Quantity
500–1,000 Coasters
Ideal for smaller cafés, restaurants and boutique venues wanting to add a professional touch to their tables. This quantity is also perfect for testing a new design or seasonal promotion without ordering large volumes.
1,000–2,500 Coasters
A popular choice for busy bars and licensed venues. This quantity provides enough stock for regular use while keeping your branding fresh and allowing for design updates throughout the year.
2,500–5,000 Coasters
Perfect for pubs, clubs and hotels with steady customer traffic. Ordering at this level generally provides better value per coaster and reduces the need for frequent reordering.
5,000–10,000 Coasters
Recommended for breweries, distilleries, beverage launches and businesses running larger marketing campaigns. These quantities are ideal when supplying multiple venues or distributors.
10,000–25,000 Coasters
Designed for festivals, sporting events, major hospitality groups and large promotional campaigns where thousands of customers will see your branding over a short period.
25,000+ Coasters
Best suited to national beverage brands, franchise groups and multi-location businesses. Large production runs offer the most economical unit price and ensure consistent branding across every venue.
Things to Consider Before Ordering
Before deciding on your quantity, ask yourself:
- How many drinks do you serve each week?
- Will the coasters be used every day or only for a promotion?
- Are you supplying one venue or multiple locations?
- Do you plan to update your artwork regularly?
- Are you ordering for a special event with a fixed attendance?
Answering these questions will help determine the most cost-effective order size for your business.
Should You Order More?
For many businesses, ordering a larger quantity often provides better overall value. Larger print runs generally reduce the cost per coaster and minimise the time spent reordering throughout the year.
If your artwork isn’t likely to change and you have adequate storage, purchasing a larger quantity can be a smart long-term investment.
