473ml Gibraltar Hi Ball

Description

Octagonal panels taper down the sides of the 473ml Gibraltar Hi Ball to a heavy, solid base, the shape that has made it a bar staple worldwide. Glass construction is boosted by Libbey's DuraTuff® thermal strengthening, giving it maximum resistance to mechanical impact and thermal shock, and a safer breakage pattern that avoids sharp shards. Its faceted grip stays secure even under heavy condensation, and the weighted base resists tipping on busy tables. The 473ml capacity handles long drinks and cocktails over ice with ease.

DuraTuff® Thermal Strengthening. A specialised heating and rapid cooling cycle treats the upper portion of this glass, creating maximum resistance to mechanical impacts and thermal shock.

Safer Breakage Pattern. A violent impact severe enough to drop or crack this glass causes it to fail in large, dull chunks due to thermal tension, rather than shattering into dangerous, microscopic shards.

Iconic Octagonal Panelling. This glass carries the traditional 8 sided faceted profile, giving a reliable, non-slip grip for servers and patrons even when heavily condensated from ice cold drinks.

Heavyweight Solid Base. A dense glass bottom underpins the tall, large capacity silhouette, keeping the centre of gravity low to prevent accidental table tip-overs.

Choosing a Decoration Method

This glassware can be decorated three ways, and the main difference between them is durability in the wash.

Pad printing is the standard method, with prices shown on this page. The logo is applied by pad print and cured in a low fire oven. Because the cure temperature is low, the print isn't dishwasher safe and the glasses should be hand washed.

Decal printing solves that. The decal is fired at high temperature in a kiln, fusing the artwork permanently into the glass surface. Decal printed glassware is guaranteed dishwasher safe, which makes it the right choice for pubs, clubs, and cafes where glasses go through commercial washers daily. Decals cost more than pad printing, so ask our sales team for pricing.

Laser etching, also priced on this page, engraves the logo directly into the glass for a frosted, single colour finish. Etching is permanent, dishwasher safe, and won't fade over time.
