  • Top for Portion Control: The 20ml line is brilliant for keeping pours consistent, controlling stock and  costs.
  • Not Dishwasher Safe: If you plan on reusing them, they are strictly hand-wash only.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Ministry of Sound, a major nightclub in London, needed to improve safety and  service speed at its numerous bars. Constant glassware breakage was causing delays, creating safety hazards, and  increasing operational costs.

"We switched to these plastic shot cups and  the difference was immediate. We’ve eliminated glass-related incidents, our bar queues move faster, and  our clean-up operation at 6 am is significantly shorter. It's a simple change that has had a huge impact."

Robert Davis – Operations Director

The move resulted in a complete elimination of glassware replacement costs for shots and  reduced post-service cleaning time by an estimated 25%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Store the box in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain plastic integrity.
  • Keep an open sleeve of stacked glasses on your back bar for quick and  easy access during service.
  • Brief your staff on the 20ml fill line to ensure consistent, accurate pours every time.

Keeping It Going

  • If you intend to reuse them, they must be washed by hand with warm, soapy water.
  • These cups are not suitable for use in a commercial glasswasher as high heat can warp the plastic.
  • Check with your local waste management service for guidelines on recycling Polypropylene (PP, code 5).
  • Keep unused glasses stacked and  covered to prevent dust or debris from settling inside.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Disposable Barware

Not sure which disposable option is right for your bar or event? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Polypropylene (like these) is flexible and  shatter-resistant, ideal for busy venues. Polystyrene is cheaper but rigid and  can crack easily. Choose based on your environment.

Capacity & Legal Measures

Are you serving spirits that require a CE-marked measure, or un-marked shots and  tasters? The 20ml line on these CB872 plastic shot glasses is brilliant for portion control without being a legal measure.

Venue Safety First

In crowded clubs, at festivals, or any outdoor event, plastic is the safest choice. It completely eliminates the risk of injuries from broken glass, protecting staff and  customers alike.

Clarity and  Appearance

High-clarity plastic is a must for showing off layered shots or vibrant liqueurs. It provides a professional look that enhances the perception of your drinks.

Environmental Considerations

To run a more responsible operation, look for products that are widely recyclable, like these polypropylene cups. Check for the recycling symbol (PP 5) to be sure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these glasses reusable at all?

A: They are primarily designed for single use. However, they can be carefully hand-washed with warm, soapy water for limited reuse. They are not dishwasher safe.

Q: What does '20ml capacity to line' mean?

A: The glass holds a total of 30ml if filled to the very top, but it features a convenient marked line at the 20ml level to help you pour a standard UK single shot consistently.

Q: Are these CE marked for legal spirit sales?

A: No, these glasses are not CE marked. They are perfect for shots and  samples, but for selling measured spirits like vodka or gin by the measure, you should use a CE-marked jigger.

Q: What is polypropylene plastic?

A: It's a type of food-safe plastic that is known for being durable, flexible, and  resistant to cracking, which makes it a much safer choice for busy environments than brittle alternatives.

Q: Can I put these in my recycling bin?

A: Yes, polypropylene (marked with recycling code 5) is widely recyclable. We always recommend checking with your local council's specific recycling capabilities and  guidelines.

Q: How many cups are in one box?

A: This product is sold as a bulk pack, containing 1000 of the 20ml plastic disposable shot glasses.

Q: Are they flimsy or sturdy?

A: They are surprisingly sturdy. The flexible polypropylene construction means they can be gripped firmly without cracking or shattering, unlike cheaper, more rigid plastics.

Q: What are the exact dimensions of one cup?

A: Each individual shot cup measures 40mm in height and  has a top diameter of 37mm.

More Than Just Plastic: Why Polypropylene Matters

Ever had a plastic cup that cracks the second you grip it? That’s usually cheap, brittle polystyrene. These 20ml plastic shooter cups are made from Polypropylene, which is a different beast altogether. Think of it like the difference between a dry, brittle twig and  a flexible, green branch. Polypropylene has a bit of give, so it can be squeezed and  handled in a busy bar without shattering into sharp pieces. This flexibility, combined with its food-safe properties and  high clarity, is why it’s the perfect material for reliable, single-use shot glasses that won't let you or your customers down during a hectic service.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Nightclubs & Late-Night Bars

    Essential for serving shots quickly and  safely in a high-volume, fast-paced glass-free environment.

  • Event Caterers & Mobile Bars

    The perfect solution for weddings, festivals, and  parties where glassware isn't practical or permitted.

  • Student Unions & Venues

    A cost-effective and  safe option for student nights, balls, and  other large-scale university events.

  • Restaurants & Function Halls

    Ideal for serving welcome drinks, after-dinner liqueurs, or tasters without risking expensive glassware.
