Crown Commercial have released CROWNTUFF, a capacity beer glass collection, fully toughened, Weights and Measures approved and embossed.

‘Toughened’ or ‘tempered’ glass breaks into smaller fragments under strong shock. Its tendency to crumble (rather like a car windscreen) rather than breaking into long shards means it is less likely to cause severe injury or deep lacerations.

CROWNTUFF is manufactured at industry standards that have been measured at four to six times stronger than regular glass – so less glass breakage and ongoing replacement costs can be expected.

With both a faceted beer glass (Casablanca) and a more upmarket, modern rendition with flared sides (Empire), the CROWNTUFF range will be available from Crown’s distributors in late September.

Stemware and tumblers in toughened options have been available for some time, in ranges such as fully toughened Atlas and Casablanca and rim toughened Inca.
