Traditional Hard-Back Cork Coasters, Placemats, Hotplates & Sets
All
of our Traditional HardBack Cork Products use a durable, multi-layer,
hard-backed cork substrate and are finished with an advanced spec U.V
coating. This unique coating is specially formulated to increase
product durability and lifespan while keeping them virtually
maintenance free. Here is the basic process by which we
manufacture your custom cork products:
The Process:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whole process begins with you, the client, in selecting and supplying the art for the project. We will from there ensure that the image quality is of sufficiently high technical quality and proceed from there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bottom Layer (Cork)
Middle Layer (hardboard)
Top (Image) Layer
This
layer is the printed image layer. This layer is the final layer,
getting fused onto the hardboard substrate after printing. This image
is printed on a very high quality digital press and them run through
what is called on offline UV coater. This machine serves to permeate
the image layer with a light liquid coating, that when exposed to our
UV light, will form a heat, light, and moisture resistant surface for
your products.
Finishing Touches
Coaster
edges can be finished in several ways, with a natural finish being by
far the most popular. Sides can be painted or waxed in a variety of
colors or metallic paints for an added cost - please call our customer
service department for exact pricing.

Bottom Layer (Cork)
This
layer consists of a semi-absorbent and non warping cork that provides
a non-slip surface for the base of the coaster. Color may not be
exactly as shown as we use genuine cork.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Middle Layer (hardboard)
This
layer consists of a hardboard that is specially formulated to wick
moisture and resist any degree of warping even if moisture is present.
This layer is fused to the bottom layer, forming a sandwich of the 2
substrates, and forming a solid foundation upon which the printed image
layer can rest.
