We are happy to ship worldwide, however, we find the weight of our products leads to prohibitive carriage costs. Please contact us directly for a quote for non-European destinations, otherwise the carriage is charged at a fixed price of £70 per order.
Your Posh Plastic glasses will last you a lifetime if they are treated correctly. Plastic will scratch! Anything made of plastic will easily scratch, so you should be careful not to treat these glasses the same as glass. |

The following aniseed based drinks cannot be used with any kind of polycarbonate glassware. Using these drinks in Posh Plastics glasses will cause permanent damage: Pernod, Anis, Ricard, Raki, Ouzo
Don't let the glasses rub against each other. Keep the glasses stood on their base whenever possible. Avoid impacts directly on the rim of the glasses, this is a weak area and sharp impacts will dent the rim. Be gentle when washing and drying the glasses as cloths can leave scratches if rubbed on the glass hard enough. Ensure that cloths are clean and free from grit and dirt. If your glasses are from the Picnic range, screw the base and the bowl together finger-tight. Excessive tightening will weaken the screw. Avoid contact with anything corrosive. |

You can clean your glasses in the dishwasher, all of our plastic glassware is guaranteed not to lose clarity for 2000 domestic dishwasher cycles. Industrial glass washers are much less intense and Posh Plastic glasses will wash the same as glassware with no ill-effects. If you're not using a dishwasher, gently wash the glasses in warm soapy water and rinse. Do not use force, especially when drying with dry cloths, as this may lead to light scratching of the surface. |
Comparing different types of plastics
Acrylic and Polycarbonate are both rigid glasses designed for continuous use. Acrylic is much cheaper than polycarbonate but the plastic is more brittle and will not withstand any heat. Posh Plastics only sell plastic glassware that is durable enough to withstand dishwashing so all of our glasses are made with polycarbonate plastic.
Polycarbonate has several levels of quality. The cheaper the plastic, the less they look like glass and the plastic will distort the light and look opaque. All plastic glasses are moulded and have a visible join where these two halves meet. Posh Plastics glasses are hand finished to melt away this join to almost nothing. The cheaper the plastic, the more this line stands out.

The easiest way to remove the label is to pick the label from one end and remove in one piece. Any residual glue on the plastic should be dabbed with the sticky side of the label. You will remove all trace of the label by following this guide.
Logo Printing and Personalisation
We can organise for your logo or branding to be printed onto your glasses. Set-up costs make this an expensive option on a small scale. For less than 50 to 100 glasses of any type, it may be more cost effective to have the glasses engraved or laser etched
We are happy to cost up a printing project or deliver your order to your printers. Please contact us to discuss printing options.
