How long do they last?
ENCORE drinkware is designed for commercial use. Since they do not break as easily as glassware they last longer and are more economical than disposables. ENCORE drinkware is a better overall value despite a higher initial cost. When glass breaks, you know when to replace them. With plastic you replace them as they wear out. Expect plastic to last 3 to 4 times longer than your current glassware.
What about scratching?
As with all things, plastic drinkware wears out and scratching is part of the wear process. ENCORE drinkware is made of a high-grade polymer which has a harder surface than most other plastics. This harder surface resists scratching better. Customers who were unhappy with other plastics are pleased with ENCORE drinkware.
