Rutacol-40MT01C (Colombia) (Road Sign) Shot Glass 1.5oz

This design reproduces the Rutacol-40 highway shield, the route marker that guides travellers along National Route 40 in Colombia's national road network.

Visual Elements & Composition

The artwork is a flat vector shield built from two colours. Dark green covers roughly four-fifths of the surface and forms the field, while white takes up the remainder as the lettering and border. The shape is a rounded rectangle, and a nested rounded-rectangle border frames the plate, so the eye moves inward from edge to centre. Nothing competes with the sign. The composition is symmetrical and plain, the way a road marker is meant to be read at speed. The route code, reading 4OMT01, is the only text, and it sits centred and bold so it can be picked out in an instant.

Meaning & Symbolism

In Colombia, "Rutacol" is the standard name for the national road-route signs, the equivalent of a "Route" or "Highway" shield elsewhere. The number 40 identifies National Route 40, known as the Buenaventura Transverse to Puerto Carreño, one of the country's primary highway arteries. The shield tells drivers they are on that road or being directed towards it, which makes it a pure navigational aid. The MT01C suffix is a file-index designation used in technical sign diagrams. It carries no speed limits or hazard information for drivers. The sign stands for connection across vast distances and for a shared, standardised language of the road.

Crafted for the Last Toast Before the Road

A shot glass is small, held close and emptied in a single movement, and this shield suits that scale. Its bold, compact face reads well when it sits in the hand at eye level, much like a route marker glimpsed from the windscreen. Give it to someone who always knows the way, or to a friend planning the next long drive: a neat little roadside toast for the journey ahead.

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.
