Waffles with history
The history of cardboard coasters dates back to the 19th century, when the first so-called "wafers" appeared in Germany. They served, naturally, as coasters for beer mugs and were also an advertising medium for breweries.

But of course - if that is what you want. After all, the printing possibilities are endless!
The great-grandfather of all printers was Johannes Gutenberg.
In the 15th century, he constructed the groundbreaking printing press, which became the foundation for all subsequent innovations in printing. Feeling great gratitude to Herr Gutenberg, we are happy to use his invention, in a modern form. We own a professional digital printer and do not hesitate to use it for our needs and those of our customers. Amongst other things, we use it for the production of colourful, personalised packaging (see page 12), flyers, posters, but also precisely for cardboard cup pads or hotel hang tags.
