Prysm and Excalibur
Are both fully tempered glassware collections that provide 5 times the durability of regular glass in food service environments.
- Designed to make value and style to go hand-in-hand, both are surprisingly cost-effective at the time of installation and allow for significantly reduced re-supply needs.
- Made for today’s mixology trends and perfect banqueting styles, these fully tempered glassware lines are created with a portion of recycled glass to lower firing temperatures, thereby reducing fuel usage and emissions.
Opal® Dinnerware
Is fully tempered and is created to look like fine china in bright white or classic ivory.
- An alternative to ceramic dinnerware, Opal is low-priced at installation and up to 3 times stronger than ceramic dinnerware.
- Opal is the perfect solution to creating elegance in institutional dining. It retains heat at the same level as ceramic, while providing a bacteria-free environment.
- Made using fully tempered glass, Opal stacks with perfection and is lightweight for tray service.
- With more than 12 dynamic patterns and a full collection of accessories to choose from, Opal is your solution for durability, quality, style and value.

Tips & Tactics
Sign on the Tempered Line
Fully tempered glassware in Cardinal's Arcoroc line can save operators up to 50% annually when compared to the cost of regular annealed glassware. It's no secret that the initial purchase of a tempered glassware item is typically slightly higher than that of an annealed item. But tempered is tougher, saving a bundle on replenishment costs-and over time, the bottom line will be clear. With tempered glassware, operators can go green and increase profitability at the same time.

|
The fully tempered Arcoroc collection includes stemware and tumblers and is easily identified by its elephant symbol. The elephant symbol-signifying strength, wisdom, intelligence, loyalty and luck-for 2009 and beyond. |
