Product details
Specs after the buying decision
Custom paper cups give coffee shops, bakeries and event bars a branded serving format that works for hot drinks, iced drinks and queue-speed takeaway service. We specify food-grade paperboard, a leak-resistant inner lining and a rolled rim that pairs with standard lids.
Choose single-wall cups for quick-service counters, double-wall cups when customers need extra heat protection, or kraft cups for a natural look. Artwork can run as full-colour CMYK or tightly matched Pantone colours, with matte as the usual finish and gloss available for brighter designs.

What is the minimum order for printed paper cups?
The usual starting point is 5,000 cups per size and artwork. Larger runs reduce the unit cost and make multi-size ranges easier to manage.
Can I use the same artwork on hot and cold paper cups?
Yes, but each cup shape needs its own dieline because the taper, height and rim size change. We adapt approved artwork across sizes before production.
Which finish should I choose?
Matte suits kraft, minimalist and premium coffee branding. Gloss is useful when you want brighter colours or artwork with high contrast.
Can you supply lids with the cups?
Yes. We can match sip lids, CPLA lids or flat cold-cup lids to the selected rim size so the range arrives ready for service.
