A paper cup is a small thing that a lot of people hold, which makes it some of the hardest-working branding a cafe buys. Most cup printers only make that worth it in the thousands. Here the choice is a real range and a realistic quantity, and it starts with the drink.
The cup for the drink
A plain single-wall cup is the standard for a cold drink or a quick serve, and Single Wall Paper Cups cover that. For a hot drink someone carries away, a thicker, textured wall is easier to hold, which is what Kraft Ripple Paper Cups give. Where the serve needs a lid, Paper Coffee Cups With Lids pair the cup with one, and for the specific case of a cup that goes in the microwave there is a Microwavable Paper Cups line. Which cup suits comes down to the drink and how far it travels from the counter.
The look on the cup
The cup's colour sets the tone before the print is even read. White Paper Cups give the clean, print-ready standard, Kraft Paper Cups carry a natural unbleached look. A coloured or striped cup, such as Pink Paper Cups or the Red and White Striped Paper Cups, suits a bold or seasonal serve. For espresso and taster servings, Small Paper Cups are the small end of the range.
Putting your brand on the cup
Print runs from a single logo to a full wrap, in offset, digital or screen printing to suit the design and the run. Paper Cups With Logo is the quick route for a logo you already have, and Personalised Paper Cups for a fuller custom design. Pantone references and CMYK values can be used to manage colour consistency, subject to normal variation caused by the chosen board, ink, coating and production method. A kraft cup reads a printed colour more softly than a white one, so a bold brand palette is truest on white.
A quantity that suits you, and the honest bits
Orders start from 100 units. That suits a single cafe, a pop-up or an event rather than a national chain only. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval. Design support is free. A digital 3D mock-up is free. UK delivery is free. There are no setup fees. Cup sizes, the wall type and the lining are set per cup and confirmed on the product page and your quote, rather than fixed here. Food-contact material suitability is confirmed for the specific material before production. A paper cup has a liquid-facing lining. An unlaminated paperboard construction may be easier to process through suitable paper-recycling streams than a heavily laminated alternative. Final recyclability depends on the full material and finishing specification and the facilities available locally. A cafe pairing cups with coffee to sell or post will find the boxes and bags on Coffee Packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about ordering, artwork, production, materials and delivery.
What cup sizes can I get?
Sizes run from small espresso cups up to larger takeaway cups. The exact options sit on each product page and are confirmed on your quote, and Small Paper Cups cover the espresso and taster end.
Can I have the cup in my brand colour, not just a logo?
Yes. Print can be a small logo or a full-colour wrap. Pantone references and CMYK values can be used to manage colour consistency, subject to normal variation caused by the chosen board, ink, coating and production method.
Are the cups recyclable?
The lining that lets a cup hold liquid is also what complicates its recycling, so a printed cup is not a plain-paper item. Its recyclability depends on the exact material and your local facilities, worth checking before you print a recycling claim on the cup.
Are the cups food-safe for drinks?
Food-contact material suitability is confirmed for the specific material before production. Confirming any information printed on the cup remains your business's responsibility, or that of its adviser
What is the minimum order for paper cups?
Orders start from 100 units. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval. UK delivery is free.
