Coasters are one of the cheapest ways to put your brand on every table, every drink, every visit. Yet a lot of hospitality operators hold off on branded coasters simply because pricing and ordering details are hard to find online. This guide covers everything: minimum order quantity, material choice, and delivery time.
Why brand your coasters?
A logo coaster is more than decoration. For hotels, beach clubs, cafés, and event venues, it's a quiet form of repeat advertising: guests see your brand with every round, snap photos for social media, and remember your name next time they're looking for a terrace. Unlike a large sign or storefront branding, a printed coaster costs just a few cents per unit — and being compostable, it doesn't add a new waste problem to your operation.
What does it cost? Pricing and volume discounts
At Natudine, custom coaster printing starts at 500 units, with an entry price from €0.04 per unit. The larger the order, the lower the per-unit price — discounts scale automatically up to a maximum at 25,000 units.
Two choices determine final pricing:
- Single-sided vs. double-sided print — single-sided is the most economical choice and works for most hospitality use cases. Double-sided is useful when the coaster gets flipped regularly, for example when placed on a serving tray.
- Standard pulpboard vs. Bio kraft — Standard pulpboard is thick and absorbs moisture quickly, ideal for wet glasses. Bio kraft uses a water-based ink kraft layer and is fully compostable and recyclable — the preferred choice for venues actively communicating sustainability to guests.
How to order custom printed coasters
- Upload your logo through the online configurator on the coaster branding page.
- Choose material and print side (single- or double-sided, Standard or Bio kraft).
- Receive a free 3D proof within 24 hours so you can check colors and placement before anything goes into production.
- Approve the proof — production and delivery typically follow within 5-7 business days, thanks to production and shipping from the Netherlands.
No designer needed: the configurator accepts most standard logo files and shows an instant preview of the finished result.
Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between single-sided and double-sided printing? Single-sided prints your logo on the top face only — the most popular and cost-effective option. Double-sided prints on both sides, useful when the coaster is flipped often.
What's the difference between Standard pulpboard and Bio kraft? Standard pulpboard is thicker and absorbs moisture faster. Bio kraft is fully compostable and recyclable thanks to a water-based ink kraft layer.
How long does delivery take? Typically 5-7 business days after you approve the digital proof.
Can I see a proof before printing? Yes — every order includes a free 3D digital proof so you can check your logo, colors, and placement before production starts.
Pairing coasters with other branded tableware
Coasters work best as part of a complete on-table brand experience: combined with custom printed cups, branded napkins, or a branded placemat, they create a consistent brand feel at every visit. Many hospitality venues start with coasters and expand from there.
