Durable, break-resistant plastic tumblers are a standard feature in school cafeterias, family restaurants, outdoor dining areas, and numerous other foodservice settings. These tumblers come in a wide range of colors, sizes, shapes, and styles. Additionally, you can find them in different materials. Below are the most commonly used materials in the foodservice industry for plastic tumblers. Polycarbonate – Many institutional foodservice operators opt for polycarbonate tumblers because this material is virtually unbreakable. It's also one of the clearest material options available for plastic tumblers and is often chosen to mimic the appearance of glass in specific designs. In high-traffic environments, polycarbonate tumblers are selected for their break resistance, especially those with textured surfaces to conceal wear and tear or surface scratches that may occur over time. However, a downside of polycarbonate is that it contains BPA. Copolymer – Copolymer tumblers are also frequently seen in institutional foodservice operations like schools, healthcare facilities, or long-term care centers. While copolymer tumblers are highly durable, they aren't commonly found in restaurants since the material is opaque, and many diners prefer to see their drinks. SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile) – This BPA-free material is often used in high-use operations due to its durability and chemical resistance, ensuring it doesn’t show wear or become cloudy after repeated washes in a dishwasher. SAN tumblers are also a cost-effective choice, though they tend to crack more easily when dropped compared to polycarbonate. Tritan – Manufactured by Eastman, Tritan is another name for copolyester and is designed to replicate the look of glass while being BPA-free. Tritan tumblers are exceptionally durable and should last longer than both polycarbonate and SAN tumblers.
