Nothing says "pull up a stool" like a set of coasters that actually look like they belong at the bar. Personalised beer coasters give every pint, can, or bottle a proper landing pad, and they turn a plain coffee table or home bar into a spot that feels like a real taproom. Whether you're carving slate, cutting cork, or engraving wood, a laser makes short work of hop leaves, brewery logos, and inside jokes.
We combed the Atomm community library for real, published beer-coaster projects made by actual makers on real machines, then sorted them into groups so you can jump straight to the style you're after. Every design below links to its live project page where you can preview the files, tweak the text, and export for your own laser.

Classic Beer & Pub Coasters
1. Slate Beer Coasters
- Material: Slate
- Type: Coaster
A clean set of slate coasters built around classic beer iconography, ready to engrave straight from the file. Slate gives the design real bar-top weight and a natural stone texture that holds condensation well. It's a solid starting template if you want to swap in your own pub name or brewery logo.
2. Beer coaster
- Type: Coaster
A no-frills, straight-to-the-point beer coaster that's perfect for beginners who just want a clean engraving test before committing to a bigger batch. The simplicity makes it easy to remix with your own font or a monogram, and it engraves fast on almost any laser-friendly coaster blank.
3. Laser Engraved Wooden Beer Coaster with Decorative Design
- Material: Wood
- Type: Coaster
This wooden coaster pairs a decorative border with beer-themed centre art, giving it more visual weight than a plain circle. Wood takes engraving contrast beautifully, so fine linework and shading both read clearly. A great gift-set piece when paired with a matching bottle opener or tray.
4. Laser Engraved Round Cork Beer Coaster
- Material: Cork
- Type: Coaster
Cork is the classic beer-mat material for a reason: it's absorbent, lightweight, and forgiving on a laser at low power. This round design keeps things traditional, making it an easy blank to batch-produce for a bar, restaurant, or brewery taproom giveaway.
5. Beer Is The Answer Slate Drink Coaster
- Material: Slate
- Type: Coaster
A tongue-in-cheek slate coaster built around the "beer is the answer" line, popular with home-bar owners who like a bit of attitude on their tabletop. The bold lettering engraves crisply on slate's dark background, so the text pops without needing paint fill.
6. Father's Day - Dads Pub Coaster
- Type: Coaster
Made with Father's Day gifting in mind, this "Dads Pub" coaster design works well solo or bundled into a small home-bar set. It's an easy one to personalise further with dad's name or a family joke before you cut and gift it.
Guinness & Brand-Inspired Beer Coasters
7. Guinness Untersetzer
- Type: Coaster
"Untersetzer" is simply German for coaster, and this one channels the iconic Guinness harp look for stout fans who want that Irish-pub aesthetic at home. It's a favourite for anyone building a themed bar corner or gifting a set to a Guinness-loving friend.
8. Guinnes Logo 2
- Type: Coaster
A second take on the stout-brand logo theme, giving you an alternate layout to choose from if the first version doesn't quite match your coaster blank size or shape. Clean vector linework means it scales well from small drink coasters up to larger bar signage.
9. Guinness Logo Coaster
- Type: Coaster
One of the most downloaded designs in this roundup, this round coaster keeps the stout logo centred and simple. It's an easy remix base if you want to add a name, date, or pub tagline underneath the main mark before you cut.
Funny & Sentimental Beer Coasters
10. Life Is Better With a Pussycat And Beer Coaster Design
- Type: Coaster
Cat lovers who also love a cold beer will appreciate this playful mashup design. The illustration and caption combo makes it a fun conversation piece for a coffee table, and it's an easy template to adapt for other pet-and-beverage combinations.
11. I Love You Beer
- Type: Coaster
A short, punchy declaration of love for the drink, this design has racked up strong download numbers because it's so easy to gift. It works equally well as a solo joke coaster or as part of a matching four-piece set for a home bar.
12. Laser Engraved Slate Beer Coaster with Love Beer Design
- Material: Slate
- Type: Coaster
This slate version pairs a heart motif with beer imagery for a warmer, more sentimental take than a straight logo piece. It's a nice option for anniversary or Valentine's gifts aimed at a beer-loving partner, and slate's texture adds a handmade, rustic feel.
13. Square Beer Coaster With Fox Illustration and German Humorous Text
- Type: Coaster
A square format sets this one apart from the usual round coaster, and the fox illustration paired with a German joke caption gives it real personality. Swap the text for your own language or inside joke while keeping the illustration as-is.
14. Laser Engraved Animal Themed Beer Coasters with Santé Text
- Type: Coaster
One of the most popular sets in this whole roundup, this collection pairs different animal illustrations with the French toast "Santé" across a matching coaster set. It's a strong pick if you want variety within one cohesive family for a full table setting.
Seasonal & Craft Beer Coasters
15. Easter Beer Coaster
- Type: Coaster
By far the most downloaded design in this collection, this Easter-themed beer coaster is a proven seasonal seller for craft fairs and market stalls. The holiday artwork gives it a natural selling window each spring, and it remixes easily for other spring occasions too.
16. New Year Beer Coaster
- Type: Coaster
A high-download New Year's design that pairs beer imagery with celebration graphics, ideal for holiday party favours or a countdown-themed home bar set. Its strong download and favourite counts show it's a reliable pick for seasonal batch production.
17. Round Slate Coaster with Craft Beer Bottle Cap Design
- Material: Slate
- Type: Coaster
This one leans straight into craft-beer culture with a bottle cap illustration at its centre, great for home brewers or craft beer collectors who want their coasters to match their hobby. Slate holds the fine cap detailing well without needing extra shading passes.
18. Laser Cut Wooden Beer Coasters with French Engraved Text
- Material: Wood
- Type: Coaster
A wooden coaster set built around French phrasing, ideal for francophone gifting or anyone who wants a bit of continental flair on their bar cart. The engraved text is bold enough to read at a glance, even under a full glass.
19. Laser Engraved Red Horse Beer Coaster Extra Strong
- Type: Coaster
Inspired by the well-known "Red Horse Extra Strong" beer branding, this coaster is a fun pick for fans of that particular label or anyone who wants a bolder, brand-style graphic on their table. It's easily adaptable if you'd rather swap in a different favourite brew's mark.

Frequently Asked Questions about Personalised Beer Coasters
What's the best material for personalised beer coasters?
Slate, wood, and cork are the three most common choices in this roundup, and each brings something different. Slate gives high contrast for bold logos and text, wood offers warmth and takes decorative borders well, and cork is the traditional, absorbent choice closest to a real beer mat.
Can I add my own text or brewery name to these designs?
Yes. Every project links to its live Atomm page where you can open the file in the editor, swap out names, dates, or slogans, and re-export for your own laser. Most of these designs use simple vector text layers that are easy to edit without redrawing anything.
Are these designs free to use?
All of the projects featured here are free, published community designs on Atomm. Each one carries its own license terms shown on its project page, so check the license before reselling finished coasters commercially, especially for brand-inspired designs like the Guinness-themed pieces.
What size should a beer coaster be?
Most classic beer coasters run around 9-11 cm (3.5-4.5 in) square or round to match a standard pint glass or bottle base. Several designs in this list, like the slate and cork rounds, are sized close to that traditional beer-mat footprint already.
Do I need a specific laser to cut these?
No specific brand is required. These are community-submitted vector and raster files, and most laser cutters and engravers that handle slate, wood, or cork can run them with adjusted power and speed settings for your particular machine and material thickness.
