Our Stock / Beermat Board:
Our beermat board is internationally certified and supplied by Ball & Dogget, sourced from Svanskogbruk in Sweden. It is the best quality we can buy.

The board is 365 gsm 800UM approximately 1mm thick. The beermat board’s bleached cellulose liner gives you optimal printability. Absorbency, which is vital, is guaranteed by the groundwood pulp used in the middle layer also giving the board its desirable low weight. Beermat board is an off white colour, very different to gloss cards / flyers / plain office paper. Printed drink coasters are a matt uncoated finish. The product is 100% recyclable.

CMYK Printing:
For all colour comparisons please refer to a Uncoated Pantone swatch book. We recommend the PANTONE (The Plus Series) COLOR BRIDGE Uncoated Swatch. The Color Bridge Uncoated provides a side-by-side visual comparison of Pantone spot colors verses their closest CMYK process printing match. NOTE: CMYK inks are transparent inks that lay over the top of one another to give you the full colour result. Spot coloured inks are solid pigment inks

Pantone Uncoated Spot Colours:
Please select your Pantone Spot Colours from the Pantone Uncoated swatch book. Uncoated and Coated selections of the same colour can look very different. Please make sure you are happy with your colour choice.

Minimum order is 5,000 drink coasters. Spot colour jobs are printed by themselves. Normally the press is set up to print CMYK 99% of the time. For spot colour jobs, the CMYK inks are cleaned from press and replaced by Pantone Spot Colour inks to suit order. Time through production is longer due to colour checking and machine preparation.

Pantone Uncoated Spot Colours - Pastel:
Please advise us if you intend on using a Pastel Pantone Uncoated spot colour.

Due to the amount of transparent white ink used to mix these spot colours, the pigment of the colour can be subject to the effects of UV and daylight - other name for it is called Burnout. We can not control the effects of burnout change, therefore there are many pastel uncoated spot colours we can not print on beermat board.*
