How Commercial Savoy Tube Polycarbonate Glassware Works
Savoy tube polycarbonate glasses are engineered marvels that combine science with style. Made from high-grade polycarbonate—the same material used in bullet-proof glass—these tumblers are manufactured through injection moulding at precise temperatures. The result? Crystal-clear vessels virtually indistinguishable from real glass but with extraordinary impact resistance. They flex slightly under pressure rather than shatter, making them ideal for bustling venues. Despite countless washes and drops, they maintain their clarity and strength. Most impressively, they deliver the same drinking experience as glass without the safety risks—brilliant!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Savoy Tube Polycarbonate Glassware
To keep your polycarbonate Savoy tubes looking pristine, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads that can cloud the surface. Rinse immediately after serving drinks with strong colours like cranberry juice to prevent staining. Store them inverted to prevent dust collection, and periodically inspect for surface scratches. For outdoor service, consider dedicated glass racks rather than stacking to minimise surface wear and maintain that premium glass-like appearance.
