Soft PVC (flexible polyvinyl chloride) is the material here — and it is chosen for a reason. At Shore A 60 ± 5 hardness, it strikes a balance between soft enough to feel cushiony under a glass and firm enough to hold a crisp 3D relief pattern without collapsing under weight. The density sits at 1.2 g/cm³, giving each coaster a satisfying heft without being heavy.

What sets soft PVC apart from silicone or hard plastic coasters is the way it handles the embossing process. The mold compresses the material under heat and pressure, which forces it into every fine groove of the mold cavity — capturing details like tire spokes, chrome trim lines, and lettering at sub-millimeter precision. Once cured, the embossed relief is integral to the piece, not an added layer. That means:

· No peeling — because the design is the material itself, not ink or paint on top.

· No fading — the color is mixed into the PVC compound before molding.

· Surface washable — mild soap and water restore the matte finish. No special care needed.

· Tested to withstand 10,000+ wipe cycles with no visible wear on the embossed pattern.

· Working temperature range of -10°C to +60°C covers cold winter car interiors and hot coffee cups alike.

Certification-wise, every production batch is tested against REACH (SVHC screening), RoHS (heavy metal and phthalate limits), and our factory maintains ISO 9001:2015 quality management. These three certifications are the baseline for European and North American importers — we include them standard, not as upcharge options.

Yes — you can put your own designs, logos, or brand patterns on these coasters. The same 3D embossing process that produces the classic car relief can reproduce virtually any vector artwork, including automotive brand emblems, cartoon characters, game icons, sports team logos, and corporate trademarks (subject to IP clearance on your end).

We keep a physical mold library of 200+ popular car brands and models — if your target market is automotive accessories, chances are we already have a matching cavity block that only needs color adjustment. This brings lead time down to 10–12 working days for established designs. New molds are CNC-machined from 718H hardened steel, rated for 500,000+ production cycles.

Design support: if your artwork is a rough sketch or a photo of an existing product, our in-house design team converts it to a production-ready 3D relief file free of charge for orders above 1,000 pieces. We send a digital rendering for approval before cutting steel.

Standard packing for wholesale quantities: each coaster is individually sleeved in a clear OPP bag, then bulk-packed into a 5-layer corrugated export carton with EPE foam inserts to prevent surface abrasion during transit. For retail-ready packaging, we offer:

· Blister card with hang hole — printed with your brand artwork.

· Gift box (rigid paperboard, magnetic flap) — single-piece or 4-piece sets.

· Polybag with header card — budget option for subscription box fulfillment.

· Custom display stand — countertop units holding 24–48 pieces for retail POS.

All shipments include commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin. For DDP terms, we handle customs clearance and duties in major EU and US ports. Third-party warehouse / drop-shipping fulfillment is supported — we can ship directly to your Amazon FBA prep center or 3PL warehouse with your shipping label.
