Best for

Choose custom coasters if your moment is hospitality venues and bar launches, product launches and brand activations or premium client gifting and vip boxes.

Hospitality venues and bar launches

Pulpboard coasters in full-colour edge-to-edge print are the workhorse of Australian bars — rotate seasonal artwork, keep unit cost low and treat the coaster as a monthly campaign touchpoint rather than a permanent fixture.

Product launches and brand activations

Cork or neoprene coasters in tone-on-tone deboss photograph beautifully on event tables. Match the coaster to the napkin and the menu card and you have a three-surface brand moment that guests actually photograph.

Premium client gifting and VIP boxes

A set of four slate, ceramic or genuine leather coasters in a kraft box with tissue — laser-engraved with a quiet monogram — lives on someone's coffee table for years. The gift that stays beyond the campaign.

Conference and delegate desk drops

A printed pulpboard or recycled-felt coaster in the delegate pack gives every speaker a branded surface for their glass on the day and a desk keepsake for after. Lightweight, quick to kit, easy to split-ship across venues.

“We reworked the coasters for every seasonal menu for two years running and the team at Sense2 remembered our brand codes beautifully each time. Guests photographed the coaster against the cocktail more often than the glass itself — which is exactly what we hoped for.”

Claudia · Brand Manager
independent hospitality group

“Our speaker gifts needed something quiet and tactile — slate coasters in a kraft box with a tone-on-tone engraving. They landed three days ahead of the summit and half the speakers posted them on LinkedIn. The highest compliment.”

Zara · Head of Marketing
Sydney professional services firm

“The Sense2 team understood our brand palette so quickly — the cork coasters felt like an extension of the launch campaign, not an add-on. Speedy turnaround and beautifully finished.”

How to choose

Start with the life of the coaster — that's the part we enjoy most about a coaster brief. If it's a single-night event or a seasonal menu drop, pulpboard at AU$0.65-$2.20 per unit does the job beautifully; full-colour edge-to-edge print, biodegradable, recyclable, and the unit economics hold at thousands. If it needs to live on a bar top for months, cork, neoprene or rubber holds up to condensation, heat and the odd late-night spill without curling or fading. For the desk and coffee-table tier — client gifts, VIP boxes, executive welcome packs — step up to ceramic, slate, bamboo or genuine leather. Ceramic takes full-colour sublimation edge-to-edge and reads premium at a soft price point. Slate has that quiet-luxury weight and takes laser engraving beautifully; the tonal contrast is understated and reads like a finished object rather than a promo piece. Leather coasters with a tone-on-tone deboss are the most elegant option we stock — four in a kraft box with tissue becomes a gift people keep. Branding method drives both price and finish. Full-colour digital print on pulpboard or ceramic is how you carry a campaign palette. Screen print on cork and neoprene keeps a single-colour mark crisp. Laser engraving on slate, bamboo and leather is permanent and premium. Deboss on leather and cork is the most tactile option — tone-on-tone, no ink, the brand lives in the texture. On shape and size: 90mm square is the Australian bar-top standard; 95-100mm round suits restaurant and café settings; 100mm square in cork or slate reads as a coffee-table piece. Thickness matters — 1.4mm pulpboard for events, 3-5mm cork or neoprene for venue use, 6-8mm slate or ceramic for desk tier. Finally, always sample. Forty-eight hours from request to your desk. Hold the weight, check the print register, rotate the tone against your menu card or brand palette. The decision makes itself. A coaster in the right colour, with the right line, becomes the photograph — creativity is what keeps any product on the surface.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb at 100 units: pulpboard coasters with full-colour print AU$0.65-$2.20, cork coasters AU$2.40-$5.80, neoprene/rubber AU$3.20-$7.50, bamboo AU$3.80-$7.20, ceramic AU$6-$14, slate or genuine leather AU$9-$22 per unit. At 500 units expect 20-35% off the 100-qty tier; at 2,000+ another 15-25%. Screen print setup AU$40-$85 per colour, once off. Laser engraving and deboss setup AU$55-$120. Gift-box kitting for sets of four from AU$3.50 per set.

How can leather coasters be branded with a logo?▾

The branding methods listed across this range are embossing. Sense2 supplies the finished item with your branding applied as one order; the print area and positions are stated on each product page, and you approve an artwork proof before production starts.

How long does production take for leather coasters?▾

Between 2–6 weeks from artwork approval, depending on the product — each product page states its own production window. Freight time depends on your destination and is quoted with the order.

Can I order a sample of Leather Coasters before placing a full order?▾

Yes — samples are available. Samples are charged at cost plus freight up front, and we credit the sample cost back on orders of 100+ units (and for returning customers) — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order. Branded pre-production samples are also available with a setup fee that's credited back on the full order.

Do promotional housewares and tools actually get kept and used?▾

91% of consumers would keep a promotional houseware item because it is useful — more than any other product category. 80% would use it at least once a week; nearly half would keep it for more than five years. 81% would have a more favourable impression of the advertiser and 79% would be more likely to do business with them. Source: Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) Global Advertising Impressions Study, 2026/2027 edition (US-consumer findings) — https://media.asicentral.com/resources/AdImpressionStudy/Ad-Impressions-2026.pdf

What's the minimum order for custom coasters?▾

Pulpboard and cork coasters typically start at 100-500 units; ceramic, slate, bamboo and genuine leather start at 50-250. Smaller pilot runs are possible on selected lines — ask our team for a stepped quote across 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 units. At 2,000+ we'll typically take 30-45% off the 100-qty tier.

How long do custom coasters take to produce and deliver in Australia?▾

Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval. Many core pulpboard, cork and neoprene lines are branded in 1-4 business days, with 3-5 day express production available on 400+ SKUs across the catalogue. For Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane we can often courier same-week on stocked pulpboard coasters.

What printing and branding methods do you offer on coasters?▾

Full-colour digital print is the most common method for pulpboard and ceramic coasters, giving edge-to-edge campaign artwork. Screen print (1-4 colour) suits cork, neoprene and rubber. Laser engraving and deboss are used for slate, bamboo, leather and premium cork — permanent, tactile, tone-on-tone. Foil stamping is available on pulpboard and leather for premium finishes.

Can I see a sample coaster before I order?▾

Yes. Samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on larger runs — essential when you're approving a campaign palette against a printed coaster. After 30 years of coaster briefs, we know the weight and print register decide every order. Samples are charged at cost plus freight and credited back on orders of 100+ units — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order.

Do you offer eco-friendly coasters?▾

Yes. Our eco coaster range includes FSC-certified pulpboard, natural cork (a renewable, biodegradable material harvested without felling trees), bamboo, recycled-PET felt and uncoated recycled pulpboard. Many are biodegradable or recyclable at end of life. Pair with recycled packaging for a credible, cohesive sustainability story.

What's the best coaster for a hospitality venue versus a client gift?▾

For bar and restaurant use, pulpboard (single-use, seasonal rotation) or cork and neoprene (durable, months of service) are the standards. For client gifting, step up to ceramic, slate, bamboo or genuine leather in sets of four, gift-boxed with tissue. Different tiers, same principle — the right material for the right moment.
