Branded products for cafés, pubs and bars.
Plan branded products for cafés, pubs, bars and breweries. Compare beer mats, cup sleeves, stirrers and gift tags with practical artwork and ordering advice.
Choose hospitality print around the moment a guest will use or see it: ordering a takeaway coffee, sitting at a table, receiving a drink or buying a gift. This guide compares relevant products and helps you prepare one coherent brief without ordering items that do not suit your service.
Choose products for your service
Coffee cup sleeves suit takeaway branding when the sleeve fits the cup and assembly can be managed. Beer mats put a message on the table and allow different designs on the two sides. Cocktail stirrers can carry a compact event identity, subject to confirmation of material and intended use.
Gift tags work for packaged gifts or retail items when you have planned the attachment. Start with the product that serves a clear purpose; a matching set is only useful if every item fits the way your venue operates.
Adapt the artwork instead of shrinking it everywhere
A logo for a beer mat may be too detailed for a stirrer top. Prepare a simplified version for small print areas, and keep type sizes readable. Use the appropriate template for each item rather than copying one file across several products.
Keep colours and the main message consistent, but let the layout change for the shape. For example, a beer mat reverse can carry a QR code while a small stirrer carries only the logo. Test printed QR codes and confirm that destination pages work before submitting artwork.
Estimate quantities from service and campaign length
Use your own expected service volumes: takeaway cups, drinks, tables, events or gift packs. These products are used at different rates, so ordering the same quantity of every item is rarely a useful default. Record the quantity for each product and each artwork version.
For a seasonal campaign, decide what happens to leftover dated stock. An undated main design can be more flexible, while a short event-specific message may justify a smaller run. Compare the current quantity tiers rather than assuming a larger order always suits your budget.
Confirm the details before committing to a launch
Send a product-by-product list with options, artwork status, quantity, delivery postcode and required arrival date. Confirm whether any assembly, ribbon, string, cups or other accessories need to be sourced separately.
Check current prices and available production speeds on the relevant product pages. For a venue opening, brewery launch or fixed event, use the urgent-order form to request a confirmed schedule. Artwork approval and delivery need to be considered alongside production.

Can I order several hospitality products together?
List each product, quantity and specification in one enquiry. Ask us to confirm prices, production schedules and delivery arrangements for the complete brief.
Can the same logo be used on beer mats and stirrers?
Yes, but the layouts usually need to differ because the available print areas are different. Prepare artwork using each product's template and request a file check.
What should I send for a café or bar opening quote?
Include products, quantities by design, selected options, artwork status, delivery postcode and the required arrival date. Mention cup compatibility or assembly requirements where relevant.
