Slate coasters

Slate coasters, a classy way to get your message across

Getting your brand in front of people isn’t always a straightforward task but sometimes there are some methods that can be easier than others if they suit your purpose.

Coasters, if you’re in hospitality, particularly, are a piece of space just waiting for your branding. Typically 10cm square, they’re literally on the table in front of your customers so why not use them?

Slate is a great medium for lasering as it easily takes high resolution images and text without the small scorch ‘halo’ other materials like wood get around the laser dot’s edge. This of course makes it ideal for sharp, captivating designs that help make your branding or message stand out.

And then there’s the general ‘classy’ vibe of slate, it’s extremely hard to make slate look anything less than smart, you have to actively work at it. Meaning of course that its very presence brings that certain je ne sais quoi to the table (or bar or reception area). We’ve even had clients ‘complain’ that customers pinch their coasters which we take as a compliment!

A slate coaster also makes a great commemorative item or branded client gift – your branded coaster on your client’s desk means it’s seen every time they lift their cuppa up.

The laser changes the physical surface of the slate meaning that the results are permanent and weatherproof (house signs being a perfect case in point) making them durable and long-lasting.
