Project Overview
When Carmex required bespoke printed coasters for a promotional brand activation, the deadline was as important as the product itself.
With just two days from approval to delivery, the challenge was to manufacture premium-quality coasters that reflected the brand's fun, energetic personality while arriving in time for the event.
Using our in-house production facilities in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, Printlux produced and dispatched the entire order within the required timeframe, ensuring the campaign was fully equipped for launch.
The Brief
Carmex wanted a promotional product that would naturally become part of the guest experience while reinforcing its vibrant and recognisable branding.
The project required:
- 100 bespoke printed pulpboard coasters
- Premium full-colour print
- High-quality finish suitable for hospitality use
- Consistent branding across every coaster
- A rapid production schedule
- Delivery within just two days
Although simple in concept, the coasters needed to make an immediate visual impact and integrate seamlessly into the overall event styling.
Our Solution
Printlux manufactured the coasters entirely in-house using premium pulpboard and high-definition digital printing.
Each coaster featured:
- Premium pulpboard construction
- Vibrant full-colour print
- Bespoke campaign artwork
- Precision finishing
- Individually quality checked before dispatch
- Produced and dispatched within two days
Keeping production under one roof allowed us to maintain complete control over colour accuracy, print quality and delivery times, even on an exceptionally tight deadline.
The Results
The finished coasters became an integral part of the event, appearing beneath drinks throughout the activation and naturally featuring in guest photography, branded content and social media posts.
Despite the challenging turnaround, every coaster was delivered on time, allowing the Carmex team to focus on delivering a successful campaign.
The project delivered:
✔ 100 bespoke printed pulpboard coasters
✔ Premium full-colour print
✔ Manufactured entirely in-house
✔ Delivered within just two days
✔ Used throughout a successful Carmex brand activation
✔ Enhanced guest engagement and social media visibility
Why Promotional Coasters Work
Branded coasters are one of the simplest ways to increase brand visibility during live events.
Positioned beneath every drink, they naturally become part of photographs, videos and user-generated content, helping brands extend their reach without disrupting the customer experience.
They're perfect for:
- Beauty Launches
- PR Events
- Influencer Campaigns
- Product Launches
- Hospitality Events
- Retail Activations
- Corporate Events
- Festivals
- Conferences
- Brand Experiences
A well-designed coaster doesn't just protect a table—it becomes part of the story guests take home and share online.
