Ruta Nacional 45
Ruta Nacional 45 (Colombia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz
This design takes the route marker of Colombia's Ruta Nacional 45 and reduces it to a single, uncluttered road sign.
Visual Elements & Composition
Black and white do all the work. A solid black outlined shield fills most of the frame against a bright white field, with the numeral 45 centred inside it. The style is flat vector, with no gradients, shading or decorative border, so the shield and its number read instantly. Nothing competes with the route number, and the composition is balanced around that one central mark.
Meaning & Symbolism
The shield is the familiar shape used to identify roads on signage, and the number is what tells a traveller which corridor they are on. Ruta Nacional 45 is one of the national routes in Colombia's transport network, a link in the country's logistics and travel system. By stripping the sign back to its shield and numeral, the artwork makes the road itself the subject, recognisable to residents, drivers and anyone who has travelled that corridor.
Made for a Close Pour
A shot is small and held close, so this sign is read at arm's length rather than across a room. The bold outline and single numeral stay clear in that near view, and the high contrast rewards a moment of attention while the drink is poured. It is a fitting keepsake for someone who has driven, lived or worked along this route, and a conversation starter for everyone else at the table.

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.
- Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
- Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
- 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.
