Many companies sell “virtually unbreakable” plastic glasses and a few companies sell “unbreakable” plastic glasses, but only Posh Plastics sells Strahl plastic glassware with a guarantee not to break, crack or shatter with normal use. You can wash our plastic glassware in any part of any dishwasher on any cycle (not just the bottom shelf on a cool wash as many manufacturers recommend).
Our quality plastic glasses will withstand being dropped on a day-to-day basis without breaking – although throwing the glasses around will lead to scratching if they are thrown onto abrasive surfaces like brickwork. To see just how durable our plastic glassware is, see Richard Hammond trying to break them with a pneumatic drill.
For best results, wash the glasses in a dishwasher or in hot soapy water with a soft cloth. It’s best to let the glasses air-dry but use a soft cotton cloth if you do need to dry them manually. For further information about cleaning and caring for your plastic glasses, see our care guide.

Plastic glasses are made from a variety of different plastics. The cost of item is based on the quantity of plastic used, the quality of the plastic and the length of the annealing process used to set the plastic rigid.
A glass may have the heavy feel of a normal high quality glass but, if it's made from acrylic or low grade polycarbonate, then any exposure to heat could fracture or cloud your plastic glasses. Dishwashers, microwaves, exposure to direct sunlight and even washing-up water could ruin a glass that looks and feels great in the shop.
At Posh Plastics we only sell plastic glasses made from high quality polycarbonate. All of our products are safe to use in the dishwasher* and to expose to heat. Even our lighter weight products have been tested through 2000 dishwasher cycles.
The Thunder plastic glasses are designed to be made with more plastic, to give extra weight and a more realistic feel to those drinking from them. Many people will drink from a Thunder glass and have no idea that the glass they have just used is made from plastic.
The annealing, or baking process, that the glasses go through, bakes the plastic to increase the durability. As this represents the highest cost to the production process, many manufacturers shorten this stage. Thunder glasses are considered the clearest, most durable plastic glasses available because of the length of this baking process and are therefore slightly more expensive.
Given that all polycarbonate glassware will last quite a long time, the cost difference over time makes Thunder a better value product than cheaper plastic glasses.
*All of our polycarbonate products are safe wash in industrial and domestic dishwashers, up to 140°F/60°C, in the top rack. Products from RB Drinks are safe to wash on cycles with temperatures up to 265°F/130°C. This would be safe to wash in top-end domestic dishwashers on higher-intensity cycles. Check the temperature ranges of your cycles with the manufacturer to ensure that you cause no damage to your glassware.
