What is the Round Bamboo Coaster?
Round Bamboo Coaster (CST16): a coaster where Sustainably grown bamboo with a natural sealed finish does most of the work. It measures 3 1/2" diameter.
Bamboo is a grass, not a hardwood, that is why it regrows in a few years rather than a few decades. The practical reason it is the default choice when a program has a sustainability requirement to satisfy.
Coasters live on the surface where drinks and conversations happen. Laser engraving burns a rich dark-brown mark into the surface. No ink, no coating, nothing to wear off.
At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $2.60 each at 1-11, $1.61 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 2.1 in x 1.75 in.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.

Common uses
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. Compliance shapes the purchase more than taste does. Many institutions cap the value of a client gift and require it to be logged, which pushes this segment toward pieces that read as considered rather than expensive. Coasters live on the surface where drinks and conversations happen. Buy for coverage. The arithmetic rewards it and the budget will not notice.
Hospitality, Restaurants & Breweries
In hospitality the promotional item and the retail item are the same object. Seasonality drives the order pattern. Terraces, patios and outdoor service create demand for a different specification than winter trade does, so most venues need two lists rather than one annual order. Laser engraving burns a rich dark-brown mark into the surface. No ink, no coating, nothing to wear off. At $2.60 before breaks it is cheap enough to hand out without counting.
Real Estate & Closing Gifts
A closing gift is a referral instrument, not a thank-you note. The right gift stays in the new home, gets used in front of guests, and prompts the question "where did you get that?". That is the moment your name comes up. Personalizing with the family name rather than the brokerage logo dramatically increases the odds it stays out on display. The coaster format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. Timing beats budget in this segment. The same gift sent a week after a renewal lands completely differently from one sent in December with four hundred others, because in January it is the only thing on the desk. Buy for the calendar you control rather than the one everybody shares. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.

How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order.

A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What artwork do you need from me?
Send vector if it exists, raster at 300 dpi if it does not, and whatever you have if neither. The personalization area on CST16 is 2.1 in x 1.75 in, and we redraw or re-proportion anything that will not survive it. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash and dry immediately. Oil occasionally if used for food service. CST16 measures 3 1/2" diameter and is made of bamboo. Bamboo is a grass, not a hardwood, that is why it regrows in a few years rather than a few decades.

Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of CST16 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there.

Do you ship to multiple addresses?
