Quick answer: Buying more coasters in one order brings the price of each coaster right down. 500 single sided coasters cost $150 + GST, while 5,000 single sided cost about $395 + GST, which is ten times the coasters for less than three times the price. One larger order also means one delivery charge instead of several.
Your Brand, Right Under Their Nose
Most marketing gets ignored, but a coaster is held, moved, and looked at for forty minutes at a time. We don’t do flimsy, thin paper. Our custom coasters are printed on genuine 365gsm and 390gsm beer mat board, ensuring your logo doesn’t turn into a soggy mess by the second round. By ordering in bulk, you’re locking in a lower unit cost for a high-touch marketing tool that actually survives the night.
Beyond the Drip: The Core Value of Custom Coasters
- Brand Reinforcement: Every sip becomes an interaction with your brand.
- Professionalism: They signal attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
- Marketing Reach: Coasters travel. They’re picked up, moved, and sometimes even taken home, extending your brand’s presence.
- Hygiene & Protection: They keep surfaces clean and dry, protecting furniture from unsightly rings.
- Engagement: With QR codes, event details, or engaging designs, they can drive interaction.
Unlocking Maximum Value:
The Bulk Buying Advantage: Purchasing custom drink coasters in bulk isn’t just about having more on hand; it’s a strategic decision that offers a cascade of benefits, from significant cost savings to superior quality and unparalleled convenience. Now, let’s explore why going big with your coaster order is the smartest strategic move.
Is it cheaper to buy custom coasters in bulk?
- Significant Savings: The more you order, the lower your per-coaster price. This means a larger order of, say, 10,000 coasters will cost substantially less per unit than ten separate orders of 1,000 coasters. These volume discounts directly impact your bottom line, making premium branding accessible.
- Optimised Budget Allocation: By securing a large quantity at a lower price, you can allocate your marketing budget more efficiently across other initiatives, knowing your coaster needs are met for an extended period.
How does buying in bulk stop you running out of coasters?
- Seamless Customer Experience: Your brand’s identity remains consistent across all customer touchpoints, every single day. This subtle consistency builds recognition and trust.
- Event Readiness: For venues, breweries, or event planners, a healthy inventory means you’re always prepared for peak seasons, unexpected events, or last-minute promotions without scrambling for supplies.
- Reduced Administrative Overhead: Fewer reorders mean less time spent on quoting, invoicing, and logistics, freeing up your team to focus on core business activities.
Superior Quality & Professional Production
Precision Print Quality: Your Brand, Vividly Displayed
The technology used in large-scale coaster printing is designed for precision and vibrancy. This is where expertise truly shines.
- Crisp Graphics & Vibrant Colours: Professional printers utilise high-resolution techniques and quality inks to ensure your logo, text, and imagery are sharp, clear, and perfectly match your brand’s colour palette. We understand that your coaster is an extension of your brand identity.
- High-Absorbency Material: Bulk suppliers typically use premium, thick coaster board (pulp board) that is highly absorbent, effectively protecting surfaces from condensation and spills without quickly saturating or degrading. This functional quality reflects positively on your brand’s commitment to excellence.
Can you help with the artwork for a bulk coaster order?
Not every business has a dedicated design team, and even those that do can benefit from specialised expertise. Our in-house design department is a valuable asset when ordering in bulk.
- Artwork Review & Optimisation: Our designers can review your submitted artwork to ensure it meets print specifications (e.g., proper bleed, resolution, colour modes) and will look its absolute best on a coaster. This proactive approach prevents costly errors and delays.
- Minor Adjustments & Creative Support: Need a slight tweak to your logo, assistance with layout, or even a full custom design for a special promotion? Our team can provide creative guidance and make necessary adjustments, ensuring your vision translates perfectly onto the coaster. This seamless integration of design and production means less back-and-forth for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Go square, single sided, on 365gsm board with one design. Each of those is the cheaper option: 365gsm costs less than 390gsm, one printed side costs less than two, and round costs more than square from 1,000 up. Then order only what you’ll use before the design needs a refresh.
None, whatever the order size. You pay for the coasters plus delivery, which is quoted per order based on quantity. Artwork is the only other possible cost: design is free for simple jobs and new customers, and complex graphics are $90 + GST.
It does, and the gap widens at 1,000. Square coasters at that quantity cost $150 + GST printed on one side of 365gsm, against $375 + GST for both sides on 390gsm. Unless the back is doing a real job, such as carrying a promotion or QR code, leave it blank.
365gsm is the cheaper board. Both weights are proper beer coaster board, with 390gsm the heavier and stiffer option. On a big run where price matters most, 365gsm is the sensible pick, and it is the board our single sided short run prices are based on.
It can. Delivery is quoted per order and depends on quantity, so a bigger order costs more to send than a small one. But one large order means paying for freight once, rather than on every reorder through the year. Ask us to quote delivery both ways so you can compare.
