Custom Printed Beer Mats for Events, Venues and Hospitality

Make Every Table a Talking Point

In the world of hospitality and live events, every touchpoint where a customer interacts with your brand counts down to what’s under their drink. The humble beer mat has come a long way from a simple absorbent coaster to a powerful engagement piece that reinforces brand identity with every drink served.

At just a few pence per unit, with prices starting from only around 9p each on 1,000+ orders, our custom beer mats offer a high-impact, low-cost branding tool ideal for high-volume environments.

Why Happy Customers and Smart Businesses Love Custom Beer Mats

Practical, Everyday Use

Beer mats play a functional role in hospitality settings. They:

Protect table surfaces from condensation and spills.
Help maintain a clean, polished look at bars, restaurants and event spaces.
Offer customers a tactile piece of your brand that stays with them throughout their visit.

For bars, pubs, cafés and event venues, this means less time cleaning and more time engaging guests.

Brand Everywhere You Serve

Printing your logo, message or artwork on beer mats turns every table into a brand billboard. Beer mats are a staple for hosting a festival, managing drinks at a wedding, running a pop-up bar or operating a busy nightclub. With options for printing on both sides and vibrant full colour finishes, your messaging gets noticed every time a drink arrives.

Popular Uses:

Event sponsorships place branded mats at every table.
Seasonal promotions communicate offers that guests will see often.
Retail cross-sell messaging advertises new products or loyalty schemes.
Venue décor accents add personality to seating areas or lounges.

Technical Specifications That Matter for Commercial Printing

Our beer mats are designed with hospitality use in mind, combining durability with eye-catching design quality.

Key specs include:

Material: Robust 500gsm cardboard, sturdy and absorbent for everyday bar use.
Thickness: Approximately 1.2mm, substantial enough to feel premium.
Shapes: Choose between classic circles or contemporary rounded corner squares to suit your space.
Printing: Full-colour, high-impact print on one or both sides.
Up to 1000 units in a single print run.

Artwork & File Requirements

You can use our free online design tool with in-built AI functions and an image gallery. It also has a QR code generator and all the usual design necessities like text, backgrounds and resizing. If you have your own design, you’ll need to consider these specifics to ensure flawless print results:

Allow a 3mm bleed on all sides.
Provide artwork in CMYK PDF format at 300dpi.
Include a 5mm safe zone for key text and logos.
Outline or embed all fonts.
Avoid solid borders because of the print tolerance – even perfectly positioned borders can move slightly during the printing process.

Cost-Effective Printing That Scales with Your Needs

One of the biggest advantages for busy hospitality businesses is the combination of low unit prices and flexible volume options. For events and venues where you need large quantities of up to 1,000 mats, it’s worth knowing that the prices per unit drop, making beer mats one of the most budget-friendly print marketing items available.

This scalability means:

Small bars can order stock for daily use.
Large festivals and corporate events can blanket tables with branded coasters.
Retail launches can distribute thousands at launch parties or tasting events.

“Custom beer mats might be compact in size, but they’re mighty in utility and impact. For hospitality owners, event organisers and venue managers, they blend practicality with brand amplification in a way few other touchpoints can, while sticking to tight budgets and high-volume demands.” Santha Hope, Head of Marketing Communications.
