Video transcript

  1. 0:00Cork or pulpboard coasters? Don't decide on unit price.
  2. 0:05Count uses per coaster. At festivals and draft bars, coasters leave with the drink: pulpboard. In lounges, hotels and weddings, cork serves many drinks or goes home.
  3. 0:16Pulpboard soaks heavy condensation fast, prints crisp color, but goes soft. Cork takes less, dries back, and suits bold logos. Neither is waterproof.
  4. 0:27Price cost per use: unit price, setup, freight and cleaning, divided by real uses. If cork costs several times more, it needs more uses than that.
  5. 0:38Before bulk, test both samples: an iced drink, then flatness; repeat with wipe and dry; stain the edges; lift a wet glass. Record pass or fail.
  6. 0:50A cork coaster taken home keeps working for your brand.
  7. 0:55If cork fits, send artwork, quantity and event date.
