Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gull's Nest Café, a bustling seaside spot in Brighton, was struggling with the high cost of replacing glassware broken in their busy outdoor seating area.
"We were losing a fortune in broken glasses every summer. Switching to these Cambro tumblers was a brilliant move. They look great, our staff love how they stack, and we haven't had to replace a single one due to breakage in months."
David Chen – Owner
The result? The café cut its annual drinkware replacement budget by over 90% and significantly sped up table clearing times.
Why Stacking Lugs Are a Lifesaver in a Rush
Ever tried to pull apart a stack of wet plastic cups that have created a vacuum seal? It’s a nightmare in a busy service. Stacking lugs are small, clever ridges moulded on the inside of the tumbler. They prevent the glasses from nesting too tightly together, creating a tiny air gap that stops them from suctioning and getting stuck. This means they'll never jam, whether they're wet from the dishwasher or stacked high behind the bar. It’s like having a built-in separator, letting your team grab a glass quickly and without a fight, keeping the drinks flowing smoothly.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run the entire pack through a commercial dishwasher cycle to ensure they are perfectly clean and sanitised.
- Designate a clean, dry, and easily accessible shelf space for stacking the tumblers near your service point.
- Inform your staff about the temperature limits (-20°C to 85°C) to prevent accidental damage from boiling water.
Keeping It Going
- For best results, always use a commercial dishwasher; these dishwasher safe plastic tumblers are built for it.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals which can cloud the plastic over time. A standard detergent is all you need.
- Always allow tumblers to air dry completely before stacking to maintain maximum hygiene and clarity.
- Periodically check the Sani-Rim lip for any nicks—though they are highly durable, it's good practice for guest safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these tumblers suitable for hot drinks like coffee?
A: They are rated up to 85°C, so they can handle hot water from a tap, but we don't recommend them for boiling liquids like freshly brewed tea or coffee.
Q: Are they completely clear?
A: Yes, they are made from a clear styrene-acrylic plastic that mimics the look of real glass. The exterior has a slight texture to reduce scratching.
Q: Do they stain easily from dark soft drinks or juices?
A: The SAN plastic is highly resistant to staining from common beverages. Regular washing in a commercial dishwasher will keep them looking pristine.
Q: What does 'Sani-Rim' mean?

Q: Can I use these in a glass froster?
A: Yes, they are safe to be used in temperatures down to -20°C, making them suitable for chilling in a freezer or glass froster.
Q: Are they CE marked for measuring pints?
A: No, at 373ml, these are not designed as legally certified pint or half-pint glasses. They are intended for general-purpose soft drinks, water, and juices.
Q: How durable are they really?
A: They are made from a high-impact SAN plastic, designed to withstand drops and knocks in a busy commercial environment without shattering like glass.
