Product Overview
Here’s a brilliantly simple solution for any business tired of the endless cycle of broken glassware. These vibrant blue polycarbonate tumblers 260ml from Kristallon offer the classic look of a drinking glass but with none of the fragility. Made from an incredibly tough, shatterproof material, they are designed to handle the knocks, drops, and general chaos of a busy commercial environment without skipping a beat.
Perfect for anywhere that safety and durability are a top priority, these glasses are a firm favourite with schools, pubs, event caterers, and healthcare settings.

Combining style with sheer practicality, these tumblers are not just tough but also dishwasher safe, freezer safe, and even stackable to save you precious cupboard space.

Expert Review and Insights
The Kristallon CB777 tumblers are a real workhorse product that I recommend time and again. They solve a genuine, everyday problem for caterers. They’re not trying to be fine crystal; they’re designed for high-volume, no-fuss service where practicality reigns supreme.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pier View Café in Llandudno was struggling with constant glassware breakages on its busy outdoor terrace, especially during the hectic summer tourist season. The cost and safety risk of clearing up shattered glass from the seaside patio was becoming a major operational headache.
"We were losing money on broken glasses every single week, and it was a real safety worry for our staff and customers with young families. Switching to these polycarbonate tumblers has been brilliant. They look smart, our customers are happy, and we haven't had to replace a single one due to breakage."
David Evans – Owner, The Pier View Café
By making the switch, the café completely eliminated breakage costs, resulting in an estimated 95% reduction in their annual drinkware spend.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run the tumblers through a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher to ensure they are perfectly clean and ready for service.
- Their stackable design is a real space-saver. Designate a clean, dry shelf for them to keep your bar or kitchen organised.
- The bright blue colour is great for visibility, helping to prevent them from being accidentally knocked over or misplaced.
Keeping It Going
- These tumblers are designed for the rigours of a commercial dishwasher, so wash them with confidence alongside your other tableware.
- To keep them looking crystal clear, never use abrasive scourers, steel wool, or harsh chemical cleaners which can cause scratches.
- While they can be used in a microwave for reheating, they are not intended for cooking or for use with high-fat content liquids at high temperatures.
- For sterilisation, ensure your autoclave or sterilising unit's cycle is compatible with polycarbonate materials to prevent damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses really 'unbreakable'?
A: They are made from exceptionally durable and shatterproof polycarbonate. While it would take extreme force to break them, they will not shatter into dangerous splinters like glass if dropped, which is their key safety feature.
Q: Do they look and feel cheap?
A: Not at all. The Kristallon range is designed to have a high-quality, rigid feel and a crystal-clear finish. The vibrant colour gives them a stylish, professional look suitable for any commercial setting.
Q: Can I use them for hot drinks like tea or coffee?
A: They are rated up to 100°C, so they can handle hot water and are safe for reheating drinks in the microwave. However, they are not insulated and are primarily designed for cold drinks.
Q: Will they stain easily from dark soft drinks or juices?
A: Polycarbonate is highly resistant to staining from everyday food and drink. For best results, simply rinse after use before placing them in the dishwasher to keep them looking brand new.
Q: Are these stackable blue polycarbonate cups easy to store?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are specifically designed with a slight taper that allows them to nest inside one another, making them incredibly space-efficient for storage.
Q: What is the exact usable capacity?
A: Their total capacity is 260ml (approximately 9 fluid ounces), which is a standard size for a serving of juice, a mixer with ice, or a glass of water.
Q: Can I chill them in the freezer before service?
A: Yes, they are completely freezer safe. Popping them in the freezer is a great way to serve perfectly chilled drinks on a hot day without diluting them with extra ice.
Q: Will the blue colour fade or scratch off over time?
A: The colour is integral to the polycarbonate material itself, not a coating. This means it cannot chip, peel, or flake off and will remain vibrant through countless wash cycles.

Explore more from KristallonWhat Does 'Shatterproof Polycarbonate' Really Mean for Your Business?
When you see 'polycarbonate', don't just think it's a fancy word for 'plastic'. It's a specific, high-performance polymer renowned for its incredible strength and impact resistance. Think of it like the difference between a normal windowpane and the laminated safety glass in a car windscreen. One shatters into thousands of dangerous, sharp pieces on impact. The other is engineered to absorb the force and stay intact. That's the principle behind these shatterproof blue glasses for catering. This isn't just about avoiding a few broken glasses; it's about removing a significant safety risk from your operation, reducing clean-up time during a busy service, and protecting your business from potential liability claims. It's an investment in a smoother, safer working environment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Schools & Nurseries: A safe, colourful, and virtually indestructible choice for serving juice or water to children during lunchtimes.
- Pubs & Beer Gardens: The perfect solution for outdoor service, reducing the risk of broken glass and ensuring customer safety on patios.
- Hospitals & Care Homes: Easy to handle for residents and patients, plus they can be sterilised or autoclaved for top-notch hygiene.
- Event & Festival Caterers: Lightweight, stackable, and reusable, making them ideal for festivals, mobile bars, and large corporate events.
