Coaster customization method full resolution ✕

Print and customization

Match the artwork method to the coaster material.

Paper coasters, white felt coasters, and colored felt coasters do not use the same production logic. Choosing the right method early makes the quote more accurate.

Laser cut Felt shape Review needed

Fast material rule

If the artwork is colorful, start with paper coasters or pure white felt. If the artwork is a simple one-color mark, colored felt with shallow laser engraving may be a better fit.

Artwork checks before quote

Coaster artwork should be checked for edge safety, small text, full bleed, QR code size, and whether the design is suitable for print, engraving, or laser cutting.

Use vector logo files when available: AI, EPS, or PDF.
Avoid thin border designs too close to the coaster edge.
Keep QR codes large enough for coaster-size printing.
Avoid tiny engraving details or fragile cutouts on felt surfaces.

Exact production feasibility is confirmed after artwork review. Basic layout support can be reviewed after order specification and payment are confirmed.

Coaster FAQ

Questions before quoting custom printed coasters.

These answers separate paper coasters and felt coasters, because their MOQ, material behavior, print methods, and best-use cases are different.

What is the MOQ for custom printed coasters?

Paper coaster projects usually start from 200 pcs. Felt coaster projects can start from 5 pcs. Final MOQ may still depend on material, size, shape, artwork method, and packing requirements.

What is the difference between paper coasters and felt coasters?

Paper coasters are better for drink service, events, bars, restaurants, and condensation use. Felt coasters are better for reusable tabletop presentation, desk sets, corporate gifts, and premium brand kits.

Can paper coasters be printed on both sides?

Yes. Paper coasters can be quoted with single-sided or double-sided full-color printing. The best setup depends on artwork coverage, coaster use, and whether the back side needs branding or instructions.

Are paper coasters waterproof?

Absorbent paper coasters are designed for condensation and tabletop use. They should not be positioned as waterproof plastic coasters unless a different confirmed material is being quoted.

Which sizes are available?

Paper coaster sizes include 90 × 90mm, 100 × 100mm, and 105 × 105mm. Felt coaster sizes include 90 × 90mm, 100 × 100mm, and 110 × 110mm. Custom shape review is available for suitable artwork.

How should I choose the artwork method?

Use paper coasters or pure white felt for full-color artwork. Use colored felt for simpler laser engraving or laser-cut designs. Very small text, thin borders, and tiny laser details should be checked before quotation.

Can you help check my coaster artwork?

Yes. You can send production-ready artwork, logo files, rough layout, product photos, or reference images. Basic layout support can be reviewed after order specification and payment are confirmed.

Can coasters be matched with other printed brand materials?

Yes. Coasters can be reviewed together with business cards, labels, luxury envelopes, insert cards, or other printed brand materials when a complete event, hospitality, or tabletop presentation is needed.
