Printed Coasters: Custom & Personalised Beer Mats for Every Occasion

Ever walked into a pub and found yourself reading the beer mat under your pint? That is exactly the power of a well-designed coaster. At LBG Print Shop, we help businesses and individuals turn a simple, functional item into a brilliant branding opportunity or a memorable personal keepsake. Whether you need branded beer coasters for your venue or personalised beer coasters for a special celebration, we have got you covered.

What Are Custom Beer Coasters?

Custom beer coasters, also known as beer mats, are printed square coasters designed to sit beneath drinks at pubs, restaurants, events, and private gatherings. They serve a practical purpose by protecting surfaces from moisture, but their real value lies in what you print on them.

At LBG Print Shop, our beer coaster printing service lets you add your logo, brand colours, artwork, photography, or personalised text to create something truly unique. Made from durable materials built to handle spills and repeated use, these are not your average throwaway mats. They are a conversation starter, a brand touchpoint, and a keepsake all in one.

Our coasters feature a square design that works beautifully for both branding layouts and practical everyday use, with full-colour printing that delivers vibrant, sharp results every time.

How Beer Coaster Printing Works

Getting your custom beer coasters printed with LBG Print Shop is a straightforward process. Here is how it works from start to finish:

1. Choose your quantity. Decide how many coasters you need based on your event size or distribution plan. Ordering in larger quantities typically reduces the cost per unit.

2. Prepare your design. Pull together your artwork, logo, photographs, or text. For businesses, use your brand guidelines to ensure consistency. For personal orders, think about what would make the coaster special, such as a wedding date, a fun quote, or a favourite photo.

3. Submit your artwork. Send your design files to our team. We accept common formats and our team will check everything before going to print.

4. We handle the rest. Our full-colour printing process ensures rich, vibrant output that accurately represents your design. Once printed, your coasters are quality checked and dispatched.

5. Use them anywhere. Place them on bar tops, event tables, restaurant surfaces, or hand them out as gifts. They work wherever drinks are served.

If you are unsure about your design, our team can offer guidance to make sure your printed coasters look their absolute best.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Ordering Printed Beer Mats

Even a great idea can fall flat with a few avoidable errors. Watch out for these common pitfalls:

Using low-resolution images. Blurry or pixelated artwork will print exactly as it appears. Always supply high-resolution files, ideally 300 DPI or above, for sharp results.

Overloading the design. Less is often more. Cramming too much text or too many graphic elements onto a small square coaster makes it hard to read and visually cluttered. Focus on one key message or image.

Ignoring bleed and safe zones. Artwork needs to extend slightly beyond the cut line so there are no white edges after trimming. Keep important text and logos within the safe area to avoid them being cropped.

Choosing the wrong colour format. Designs created in RGB for screens can look different when printed in CMYK. Always convert your artwork to CMYK before submitting for print.

Underestimating quantity. Running out of coasters mid-event is frustrating. Calculate how many you need generously and factor in a buffer, particularly for weddings and large-scale promotional campaigns.

Leaving it too late. Good print work takes time. Order well in advance of your event or campaign launch to allow for production and delivery.

Expert Tips for Getting the Best from Your Custom Beer Coasters

Our team at LBG Print Shop has helped hundreds of businesses and individuals create standout beer mats. Here is what we have learned along the way:

Keep your key message front and centre. You have a small canvas, so make the most important element, whether that is your logo, your event name, or your call to action, the first thing people see.

Use bold, contrasting colours. Designs that use high contrast between the background and text or imagery are far easier to read at a glance, particularly in low-lit pub or bar environments.

Add a QR code. For business coasters, a QR code linking to your website, menu, or social media profile turns a passive item into an interactive one. It is a simple addition that dramatically extends your reach.

Think about both sides. Many coasters can be printed on both sides. Use the reverse for additional information, a secondary offer, or a complementary design element.

Match your coasters to your wider branding. The best branded beer coasters feel like a natural extension of everything else you produce. Use consistent fonts, colours, and tone of voice.

Order samples before large runs. If you are ordering a significant quantity, consider requesting a sample or proof first so you can check colours and quality in person before committing to the full run.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personalised Beer Coasters

What file format should I use when submitting my design?

 We recommend submitting artwork as a PDF, AI, or EPS file at 300 DPI or higher in CMYK colour format. This ensures the sharpest, most accurate print results. If you are unsure, our team is happy to advise.

Can I order personalised beer coasters in small quantities?

 Yes. We cater to both small personal orders, such as wedding favours or birthday parties, and large commercial print runs for businesses and promotional campaigns. Get in touch with our team to discuss the quantities that work for you.

How durable are your printed beer mats?

 Our coasters are made from robust materials designed to withstand spills, condensation, and repeated use. They are built for real-world environments, from busy pub bars to outdoor festival stalls.

How long does production and delivery take?

 Turnaround times vary depending on the order size and specifications. We always recommend getting in touch as early as possible, especially if you have a firm event date, so we can plan production accordingly.

Can I have a different design on each coaster?

 This depends on the order quantity and specifications. Speak to our team about gang printing or variable data options if you need multiple designs within a single order.

Are your beer coasters suitable for outdoor events?

 Yes. Our durable materials make them a practical choice for outdoor festivals, garden parties, and corporate events, though like any paper-based product, extended exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
