Enhanced visibility

Coaster holders, often placed on tables in bars, restaurants or cafes, offer a prominent space for displaying your brand logo and message. This increases brand visibility as people use the coasters and see the holder regularly.

Practical and Functional

Coaster holders serve a practical purpose by keeping coasters organised and easily accessible. This functionality encourages people to use coasters, protecting surfaces from drink condensation and potential damage.

Unique Designs

Coaster holders come in various shapes, sizes and materials, allowing for creative and customizable designs. This flexibility enables you to create unique and eye-catching coaster holders that align with your overall trade marketing strategy.

Long-lasting Brand Exposure

Promotional coaster holders are durable and often kept for an extended period. As they are placed on tables or countertops, they provide a long-lasting platform for brand exposure, ensuring your message reaches a wide audience over time.

We are a multidisciplinary team, providing expertise from various domains, including product design, engineering, product development, manufacturing, project management and marketing.

In our workshop, which is located in Zagreb, Croatia, we operate a broad set of traditional and modern manufacturing technologies, e.g. forging & casting and 3D scanning & 3D printing. Our skilled craftsmen turn ideas into products that enhance our clients' brands.

HOW WE WORK

We’re a 35-person, design award-winning workshop for many of the world’s leading brands. Designing, engineering and manufacturing premium and tailor-made Point of Sale material. Since 1992.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Can you help me with concept development?

Yes. We have an in-house product design team that shares an office with our engineering team. In PES no two projects are ever the same. Since 1992 we have gained a lot of experience regarding how to create custom Point of Sale material and branded merchandise.

When developing concepts for coaster holders, we rely on your brief which ideally includes a brand manual and a project description.

What materials do you use for making a coaster holder?

We solely use certified, high quality raw material sourced from European suppliers. All of these comply with EU regulations, e.g. ROHS or REACH. We primarily shape different types of metal, wood and plastic. All in-house. Additionally, we have experience with marble, leather, felt, cardboard and MDF. We are able to create custom 3D shapes and surfaces. Via manufacturing technologies such as e.g. casting, forging, injection moulding, electroplating, lacquering and sandblasting. Illumination, via LED lighting, or integrating sensors, are feasible, too.

We operate our own tooling unit which enables us to have maximum control over lead times and quality management.

Where are your coaster holders being made?

In-house, in our own workshop here in Zagreb, Croatia (EU). We are a 35-person, family-led, quality and sustainability certified manufacturer. This refers to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, plus a 4 pillar audit by EcoVadis.

What does your process look like?

If you're part of a Marketing Procurement, Brand or Marketing team that manages a global brand, you're already familiar with the phases of bringing a custom Point of Sale item to life: briefing, concept development, product design, engineering, rendering, prototyping, tooling, sampling, product testing, bulk production, delivery.

By following our proven process we help you avoid the many pitfalls of sourcing custom POS items. The pitfalls that make you either loose money or time. Or even worse, both. If you already have a design and just need us to bring the idea to life, that's fine, too. We can start the process during the phase that suits you best.

What is your lead time for coaster holders?

Since no two projects are ever the same, the answer is: it depends.

On:
- the number of units you need
- product specs
- how quickly you and/or your client are able to approve a prototype and/or PP sample
- on the 3rd party laboratory testing plan, if there is a need for these kind of tests
- on how many projects we are having in our pipeline at the time you place your order

Based on your enquiry, we'll send you a detailed quote which specifies the time we'll need for each single project phase. This way you'll know what to expect. It always helps if, as part of your enquiry, you let us know what your desired timeline looks like.

What does testing imply?

We can provide you with material safety data sheets (MSDS) about the raw materials we use. These all comply with EU regulations. The raw material we use are all sourced from certified suppliers located in Europe. Additionally, we can issue a certificate of conformity (COC) and a certificate of origin (COO), stating that your bottle glorifiers have been made in Croatia.

Beyond this, on behalf of our clients, we regularly manage 3rd party testing. In collaboration with internationally accredited laboratories. These result in certificates stating that your coaster holders conform to regulations and are therefore safe to use. This is paticularly important if you plan on distributing your coaster holders to different markets.

When it comes to importation related certification, there are certain countries that are much stricter than others.

How can I contact you?

Best visit our contact page where you'll find all the details on how to get in touch with us. Feel free to drop us a message in English, German, Spanish or Croatian.

What is your Minimum Order Quantity?

Since we're making coaster holders ourselves, in our own workshop, located in Zagreb, Croatia, we are free to determine the Minimum Order Quantity. We've decided to not have any, which means 1 unit. Although, to be honest, so far it has never happened that a client asked us to only make one single coaster holder. It sometimes does happen for other product categories, e.g. awards.

For coaster holders, we usually make a larger number of units. This has to do with the fact that we primarily work for global brands who seek to source larger volumes. Additionally, the more complex a coaster holder is, the higher the probability there is a larger tool investment needed. Hence nobody places an order for a low number of units. It just wouldn't be cost-effective.

Regarding purchase orders for coaster holders, the majority of our projects fall into the category of 1.000 to 10.000 units.

How do you handle packaging and delivery?

Most often each coaster holder we make is single unit packaged into cardboard boxes.

We ship our products either to a client's warehouse or directly from our workshop, located in Zagreb, Croatia, to different markets. All over the world. Most often to Europe, Northamerica and Asia.

The Incoterms can be any between EXW and DAP.

How do I place an order with you?

Before you place an order, you will have received a detailed quote from us, which in turn is based on your initial project brief. The quote will include input such as a product description, pricing, lead times et al.

What are your prices?

At PES, since we only make custom coaster holders, no two projects are ever the same.

We will be able to determine the price after we've received your initial input and made a cost calculation. Does your project start with concept development or do you already have a design ready? What are the materials your coaster holder will be made of? How complex is it to manufacture your product? What does the timeline look like?

Once we have received a full brief from you, we will send you a detailed quote with clear pricing input. Outlining each single phase, e.g. concept development, technical development and prototyping, tooling and PP sampling, 3rd party laboratory testing, bulk production and delivery.
