- Heads Up: As they are not CE marked, they can't serve measured alcoholic drinks.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Puffin's Perch Café, a busy seaside spot in Llandudno, was struggling with constant glassware breakages on their popular outdoor terrace, leading to high replacement costs and safety concerns.
"We were getting through dozens of glasses a week with smashes on the patio. These Olympia Kristallon HZ081 tumblers have paid for themselves already. They look great, our staff love how light they are, and our breakage costs are now virtually zero."
David Evans – Owner
The café reduced its glassware replacement costs by over 95% within the first three months of switching.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give your new tumblers a quick wash before their first use to remove any dust from packaging.
- The stackable design is a dream for organisation. Keep them near your service point for quick access.
- Their uniform 250ml size is ideal for pre-portioning drinks like juice or squash ahead of a busy lunch rush.
Keeping It Going
- These tumblers are fully commercial dishwasher safe, making for a hygienic and effortless clean.
- To keep them looking crystal clear, we recommend using a good quality rinse aid in your dishwasher.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull and scratch the surface over time.
- Like any well-used tool, give them a quick check for deep scratches now and then to ensure they stay looking their best.

When you see 'polycarbonate', don't just think 'plastic'. Think of it as armour for your drinks. It’s a specific, high-tech thermoplastic renowned for its incredible strength and impact resistance. Imagine the difference between a normal windowpane and the laminated safety glass in a car windscreen. One shatters into dangerous shards on impact, while the other is engineered to absorb the force. That's the principle behind polycarbonate. These commercial polycarbonate tumblers 250ml are designed to take the drops and knocks of a busy service, making them exceptionally safe for any environment where accidents can happen.
