Cork Custom Coasters
lightest coaster we make · silent on tables · the bulk-budget pick
Cork is the working coaster: light enough to ship a thousand cheaply, soft enough to be silent on every table, and absorbent enough to do the actual job. Cafes and event planners order cork when the design needs to be everywhere without the budget noticing.
We print directly on the cork face in up to full color. The natural speckle shows through lighter inks, a look that suits organic and hand-drawn designs especially well.
The bulk math
Cork lands at roughly half the per-piece cost of wood at 500 pieces and ships at a fraction of the weight, which matters when favors travel to a venue. It is the coaster we recommend when the order brief says a thousand tables, one weekend.
Design tips for cork
Dark, bold artwork prints strongest; pale pastels blend into the speckle. Keep fine text above 2 mm and let the natural material be the background instead of flooding it with ink, which is also what keeps cork absorbent.

Common questions
Months of daily cafe duty or one great event, depending on the job. Cork is the affordable workhorse, not the heirloom; for keepsakes, wood and stone are the longer-lived picks.
Cork is harvested bark, so the tree keeps growing, and our blanks are made from bottle-industry offcuts. They compost at end of life, which event sustainability teams ask about often.
25 pieces, though cork math really starts working at 250 and up, where the unit price drops under a dollar.
