Across Australia’s pubs, breweries and distilleries, one small piece of branding keeps showing up in all the right places, the coaster. It sits quietly under the glass, but it plays a huge role in shaping the customer experience. When done well, it becomes part of the venue’s story, atmosphere and identity.
Coaster Kings has printed for hundreds of Australian venues, and one thing is clear: the way brands use coasters today goes far beyond simply protecting the bar top.
Breweries Showing Off Their Personality
Walk into any craft brewery and you’ll notice the creativity everywhere on the walls, the taps, the cans and yes, the coasters. Breweries use custom prints to match their signature artwork, promote seasonal releases or showcase illustrations their fans instantly recognise.
Custom shapes have become a favourite too, especially for venues wanting a design that matches their logo or mascot.

Distilleries Crafting a Premium Tasting Experience
Distilleries rely heavily on atmosphere, and coasters help bring that polished, handcrafted feel to the table. Whether it’s a gin paddle or a whisky tasting, the coaster becomes part of the presentation, adding a touch of texture, warmth and brand identity to the moment.
With sustainable pulpboard and sharp, high-quality printing, distillery branding comes to life beautifully.
Pairing coasters with matching Custom Bar Runners instantly elevates the whole bar setup.
Pubs Turning Coasters Into Everyday Branding Tools
Pubs are switching from generic mass-produced coasters to their own custom prints and it shows. Venues use them to highlight events, promos, specials or simply reinforce their identity throughout the space.
It’s one of the easiest, most affordable branding upgrades a pub can make.
For fast service or high traffic, Stock Drink Coasters offer a quick, reliable option too.
Cafés & Roasteries Getting Creative
Coasters aren’t just for beer. Cafés use them to complement their coffee bar aesthetic, highlight their roasting story or add charm to their table styling. Minimal, textured and design-driven coasters pair beautifully with specialty coffee.
It’s a small detail customers always notice and photograph.
