Developed for festivals, venues and nightlife
Drink protection for festivals, venues and events
M!NE is a self-adhesive single-use cover to be offered wherever drinks are served. The cover attaches around the rim of the glass and places a visible physical barrier over the opening. We are finalising the solution for trials with venues, festivals and organisers.
Can be offered free of charge, as an optional add-on of no more than NOK 3, or funded by a partner.

THE PRODUCT
A THIN COVER. A SIMPLE CHOICE.
The cover attaches around the rim of the glass and places a visible physical barrier over the opening – developed for festivals, nightlife venues, arenas and other busy serving environments.

Peeled off the backing paper and attached around the rim of the glass. The solution is being developed for easy use in busy serving environments.
- 02

IN DEVELOPMENT: DRINKING DIRECTLY
A closed, tear-off opening for drinking directly from the glass is under development and will be tested before it may be included in the final product version.
WHY WE ARE BUILDING M!NE
I grew up with the advice to watch my drink. But in a crowded venue, it takes only a few seconds of distraction before your attention is elsewhere.
That is why we are developing M!NE: a single-use cover that should be available wherever drinks are served, so guests can easily choose to cover their glass.
HOW IT WORKS
PEEL. COVER. SIP.
PEEL
Peel the drink cover off the backing paper.
COVER
Attach the drink cover firmly around the rim of the glass.
SIP
Push the straw through the pre-cut opening.
AVAILABLE AT THE SERVING POINT
A DEDICATED PLACE FOR M!NE.
The dispenser is being developed as a practical way to keep the covers organised, visible and easily accessible at the bar or serving point. The aim is to make M!NE simple to offer without creating unnecessary friction in a busy serving environment.
- 01Covers are kept organised and within easy reach.
- 02Guests or staff can take one cover at a time.
- 03A QR code can provide guidance on what to do if drink spiking is suspected and where to seek further help.
The dispenser is currently a concept illustration. Capacity, materials, dimensions and final construction will be determined during product development.
PAYMENT MODELS
