Customizable coasters: stylish details for upscale hospitality
In the world of premium catering and hotellerie, a brand identity is built through constant attention to detail. Elements often considered secondary, such as customizable coasters, actually become key tools for communicating elegance, consistency, and attention to the guest.
Cartaria Italiana develops solutions designed for a high target audience, where every customer-facing support is an integral part of the experience. Customizable wadded coasters fit perfectly into this philosophy, complementing other service accessories such as the customizable cup covers, already stars of the most curated mise en place.
Wadding coasters: functionality and aesthetics
The customizable coasters offered by Cartaria Italiana are made of multilayer wadding, a material that combines absorbency, softness and high aesthetic appeal. The structure can consist of 5 up to 8 plies, depending on the level of strength and type of use required.
For contexts involving heavier service or particularly cold beverages, a waterproof polythene film can be integrated on the back, which protects surfaces and further enhances product functionality. This option is especially popular in hotels, lounge bars and fine dining restaurants.
Hot stamping and Pantone printing
One of the distinctive aspects of Cartaria Italiana’s customizable coasters is the possibility of hot stamping the logo or graphics. This technique gives an elegant and discreet result, perfectly in keeping with high-end settings.
It is also possible:
- Hot stamping the logo
- Customize the entire surface with Pantone colors
- Maintain a refined visual rendering consistent with brand identity
The minimum quantity required is 5,000 pieces, a threshold that ensures production quality and uniformity of the final result.
Available shapes and sizes
Coasters can be made in different shapes and sizes to suit different styles and contexts:
- Round shape, with diameters from 15 cm up to 20 cm
- Oval or rectangular shape, for more sophisticated mise en place
- Smooth or lace-effectedges for a classic and elegant aesthetic
This variety allows the coaster to be coordinated with the rest of the tablecloth and other serving accessories, creating a consistent and recognizable table setting.
The coaster: the big brother of the coaster
Alongside coasters, Cartaria Italiana has also recently developed the customizable wadded coaster, designed as a natural evolution of the traditional coaster. Larger in size and stage presence, the underplate is intended for high-end catering and hotellerie.
Made with the same construction logic as the coaster, it can be produced:
- 5 to 8 ply wadding
- With or without waterproof film
- With logo hot stamping
- With Pantone personalization on the entire surface
The underplate thus becomes a true design element of the table, capable of elevating the perception of the service.
Coordinate details for a complete experience
Customizable coasters, coasters and cup covers share the same function: to turn an everyday act into a brand experience. By coordinating these elements, the identity of the facility can be strengthened and a message of quality and consistency can be conveyed at all times of service.
