Engraved aperitif boards and coasters: restaurant & bar branding
Wood/bamboo boards and slate coasters with logo: ideas, series, pricing and tips for bars, restaurants and hotels that want visible, photo-friendly branding.
The engraved aperitif board and logo coaster have become hospitality branding bestsellers: useful, photogenic, reusable. They carry the brand at every service — and into guests’ Instagram stories.
NC Factory in Antibes engraves wood / bamboo boards and slate for restaurants, wine bars, rooftops, hotels and specialty food shops. Small runs or full dining-room sets.
Winning combo: signature board + matching coasters = instant table identity on a controlled budget.
