- Practicality: The stackable, shatter-resistant design is a massive win for operational efficiency.
- Not CE Marked: You'll need a separate jigger for measured spirits; not for free-pouring.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ferryman's Inn in Cardiff needed a robust solution for their bustling riverside terrace, where glassware breakages were becoming costly and time-consuming during peak tourist season.
"Switching to these unbreakable hi ball tumblers was brilliant. The staff can work faster and with more confidence, especially when it's busy. We've had practically zero breakages since we got them, and the cleanup is so much easier without sharp glass shards to worry about."
Robert Williams – Pub Landlord
The inn reported that glassware replacement costs fell by over 90% in their first three months of use, directly boosting their bottom line.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the tumblers a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to ensure they are fully sanitised.
- Unpack and inspect each glass to make sure there was no damage during transit.
- The stackable design is a key feature; use it to store them efficiently on shelves or in glass racks near your service point.
Keeping It Going
- To maintain clarity, use a non-abrasive glass detergent in your dishwasher.
- Avoid using harsh scouring pads or steel wool if washing by hand, as this can cause fine scratches over time.
- Although highly scratch-resistant, avoid scraping them against sharp objects to keep them looking their best.
- Regularly check for any deep gouges which could potentially harbour bacteria and replace the tumbler if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these tumblers completely unbreakable?
A: They are made from incredibly impact-resistant polycarbonate. While not literally indestructible, they will not shatter from a normal drop like glass, making them far safer and more durable for commercial use.
Q: Will they go cloudy after being in the dishwasher?
A: When cared for correctly with non-abrasive detergents, these Olympia Kristallon tumblers are designed to resist clouding and maintain excellent clarity through many wash cycles.
Q: What does 'not CE marked' mean for my pub?
A: It simply means the tumbler doesn't have a certified measurement line for serving legal measures of spirits or wine. You must use a separate, government-stamped jigger or measure for these drinks.
Q: Can I use these for hot drinks?
A: Yes, they are rated for temperatures up to +100°C, so they can handle hot water. However, they are not insulated and will get hot to the touch, so they are best suited for cold beverages.
Q: How do they compare in weight to standard glass hi-balls?
A: They are significantly lighter. At just 92.5g each, a tray of these is much easier and less fatiguing for staff to carry than a tray of heavy glass equivalents.
Q: Are they suitable for children to use?
A: Absolutely. Their shatter-resistant and lightweight nature makes them an ideal and safe choice for schools, family-friendly restaurants, and parties.
Q: How high can I stack them?
A: They are designed for stable stacking. We advise stacking to a sensible height that is secure for your specific storage shelf or area to prevent toppling.
Q: Do they feel like cheap plastic?
A: No, the Olympia Kristallon polycarbonate has a rigid, high-quality finish that feels substantial and durable, closely mimicking the look and clarity of real glass.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just Plastic: The Power of Polycarbonate
When you see 'polycarbonate', it's easy to think of flimsy, disposable plastic, but it's a world away from that. Think of the material used in protective visors or shatterproof windows – that's polycarbonate. It's engineered for incredible impact resistance. So, when a glass tumbler is dropped, it shatters into dozens of hazardous, sharp pieces. When one of these Olympia Kristallon tumblers is dropped, it typically just bounces. This fundamental difference is what makes it so valuable; it's not just about saving money on re-orders, it’s about creating a fundamentally safer environment for everyone.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pubs & Beer Gardens: Serve pints and mixers outdoors without the constant worry of dangerous broken glass on the patio.
- Event & Mobile Caterers: Lightweight and durable for easy transport, ensuring zero breakages during setup at weddings or festivals.
- Schools & Care Homes: A superb, safe alternative to glass for serving drinks to children or vulnerable adults.
- Nightclubs & Late-Night Bars: Ideal for fast-paced environments where drops and spills are inevitable, keeping staff and revellers safe.
