Our 2012 Range Has Just Arrived!

We're proud to announce that our latest range of glasses has now arrived. Our latest range includes plastic champagne glasses, plastic martini glasses and a brand new highball tumbler.

These glasses, in addition to our existing range, are ideal for a variety of uses. The martini glass is particularly popular amongst trendy bars and clubs seeking a sophisticated glass that is safer than traditional glass but doesn't compromise on quality and style. James Bond himself would be happy drinking from our martini glass.

The plastic highball tumbler is designed to complement our existing range of tumblers. Whilst our existing range features straight-sided tumblers, our latest tumbler has indented sides that are commonly found on glasses in bars and clubs throughout Australia. The glass is extremely solid in the hand and would easily withstand the rigours of Australia's nightlife.

Our latest plastic champagne glass is popular amongst a variety of venues. Whether you own a large nightclub, small bar, boat, pool or want some unbreakable glasses at home, our champagne glasses will help you celebrate life's special moments in style.

For more information on any of our glasses, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.

Glass Ban at Late Night Spots Backed by Key Figures

A ban on serving alcohol in glasses or stubbies late at night at WA licensed premises has received key support after statistics showed three-quarters of glass-related assaults happened after 11.30pm.

Australian Medical Association WA president Dave Mountain, Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan and National Drug Research Institute director Steve Allsop agreed yesterday the curfew, similar to that in Sydney, could help curtail glassings.

Dr Mountain said he had seen a number of terrible injuries caused by glassings and believed serving drinks from plastic glasses could prevent them.

The Safest Alternative to Real Glass is Polycarbonate

According to a recent survey conducted by HBF, 76% of the respondents aged between 18-30 support pubs, clubs and bars serving drinks in plastic glasses. The so called 'iGeneration' wants to be able to go out and enjoy themselves without the threat of serious injury caused by broken glass or an unprovoked glassing attack.

Swish Plastic is a new Perth-based company with the goal of providing Australia’s hospitality industries with the finest range of polycarbonate drink ware available. A spokesperson for Swish Plastic explains:

"Polycarbonate is close to identical to traditional glass. We have found a range of polycarbonate drinkware elegantly shaped and with a weight and look that could easily be mistaken for actual glassware."

The plastic used in the glasses is called polycarbonate. This material is dishwasher safe, shatter proof and best of all: virtually unbreakable.

Swish Plastic states that polycarbonate drinkware has been popular at bars and clubs in Europe for a couple of years and that the attitude towards plastic glasses has not been as negative as some people seem to think.

"Young people are much more adaptable and open-minded about plastic drinkware. Most people go out to enjoy themselves, drink and have fun. If they can drink from a high quality glass that looks like real glass yet it isn’t, they’re not going to mind."
