Freddie Wallace – Pub Equipment Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The durability is outstanding; these will survive drops that would shatter standard glassware.
- Con: They aren't CE marked, so they can't be used for selling draught beer or cider.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Anchor & Compass', a popular waterfront pub in Bristol, was struggling with high glassware replacement costs due to frequent breakages on their busy outdoor decking area. They switched to the Olympia Kristallon Polycarbonate Tumblers to improve safety and cut down on waste.
"We were losing dozens of glasses a week, which was not only expensive but a real safety concern for our staff and customers. Since we brought in these polycarbonate tumblers, our breakage problem has completely disappeared. They look great, our team loves them, and we're not constantly sweeping up glass."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The pub reported a 95% reduction in glassware breakage costs within the first three months of use.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run the tumblers through a wash cycle to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Ensure your dishwasher rinse aid is topped up to prevent water spots and keep them sparkling.
- Designate a specific, easy-to-reach shelf space for them to encourage correct stacking.
Keeping It Going
- To avoid clouding over time, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals.
- While dishwasher safe, placing them on the top rack can prolong their crystal-clear appearance.
- Stack them only when completely dry to prevent water trapping and potential marking.
- Regularly check for any deep scratches that could harbour bacteria, and replace if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these tumblers really unbreakable?
A: They are made from exceptionally durable polycarbonate, making them 'virtually unbreakable' in normal use. They can withstand drops and knocks that would shatter glass, but could be damaged by extreme force.
Q: Will they stain from colourful cocktails or fruit juices?
A: High-quality polycarbonate like that used by Olympia has excellent resistance to staining. For best results, wash them soon after use and avoid letting dark liquids sit in them for extended periods.
Q: Do they feel cheap or like plastic?
A: While lighter than glass, these tumblers have a rigid, high-quality feel. They are designed to mimic the look and feel of glass as closely as possible, offering a premium experience.
Q: Can I use them for hot drinks?
A: Yes, they are rated for use with liquids up to 100°C, so they are suitable for hot beverages like tea or coffee, though they will not insulate like a ceramic mug.
Q: What does 'not CE marked' mean?
A: The CE mark is a legal requirement for glassware used to measure and sell specific quantities of draught beer, cider, wine, or spirits. As these are not CE marked, they are for serving non-prescribed measures, like cocktails, soft drinks, or bottled beverages.
Q: Do they stack neatly without getting stuck?
A: Yes, these commercial stacking tumblers 420ml are specifically designed with a subtle internal ledge that allows for stable stacking and easy separation.
Q: Will they go cloudy in the dishwasher?
A: If you use a quality rinse aid and avoid overly abrasive detergents, these tumblers are designed to remain crystal clear through hundreds of commercial wash cycles.
Q: Are they BPA-free?
A: Yes, Olympia Kristallon polycarbonate glassware is manufactured to be BPA-free, complying with modern food safety standards.

Ever wonder what makes these polycarbonate hi ball tumblers 420ml so tough? It's all down to the material. Think of standard glass like a sheet of ice – it's rigid and looks great, but one sharp knock and it shatters into dangerous pieces. Polycarbonate, on the other hand, is more like the clear, tough shield on a riot helmet. It's designed to absorb impact and flex instead of breaking. This means it can be dropped, knocked over, or clinked together with force without cracking or chipping, making it an incredibly safe and long-lasting alternative for any busy commercial environment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Pubs & Bars: Ideal for serving spirits, mixers, and cocktails in a fast-paced setting where breakages are common.
- Hotels & Spas: A safe and elegant choice for poolside, outdoor terrace, or room service to eliminate broken glass hazards.
- Outdoor Caterers & Event Venues: Lightweight and durable, they're perfect for festivals, weddings, and functions where glass isn't practical.
- Nightclubs & Live Music Venues: Enhance safety in crowded spaces by using unbreakable 420ml tumblers that still look the part.
