Illinois 56 (Illinois) (Road Sign) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design pays homage to Illinois Route 56, a significant east-west highway traversing the Chicago suburbs. The primary visual element is the iconic "Illinois Route" shield, the standard marker used to identify state highways within Illinois.

The Road Sign: A Symbol of Navigation

The design faithfully replicates the essential elements of the IL 56 road sign. At the top, the word "ILLINOIS" is clearly displayed in a sans-serif font, setting the context of the route's location. Beneath, the prominent numeral "56" asserts the highway's numerical designation.

The shape is a white square/rectangle, a standardized design specified by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) manual, specifically “sign M-I100”. This form is universally recognized throughout Illinois as a symbol of direction, identification, and the very act of navigating the state's roadways.

Meaning and Significance

The design inherently connects to the real-world experience of travel within Illinois. The shield represents a vital part of the state's infrastructure and acts as a functional tool for navigation. For anyone familiar with the road, the image of "ILLINOIS 56" will immediately evoke memories of journeys along Butterfield Road and through key suburban areas.

The shot glass becomes a visual reminder of IL 56 and the significant role it plays in connecting communities and commercial districts within the northeastern part of Illinois.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
