Beverage coasters have become increasingly popular in cafe cultures where the population may spend a great deal of time relaxing, people watching, and socializing with friends over a cup of coffee, a glass of water, or a glass of wine. While a great deal of information cannot fit onto a coaster, it is of sufficient size to accommodate a logo, slogan and some vital bits of information such as the date, time and type of elections, and may reflect the design and colour schemes used for other voter education products such as stickers, posters, shopping bags, t-shirts, and more. Once produced, the coasters can be distributed to restaurant, bar and cafe owners, who are usually more than happy to put them to use. Production of coasters requires the of special materials and expertise from the printer to cut the coasters according to the specified size and shape.
