What are Paper Drinking Cups?
Paper drinking cups are disposable beverage containers designed for serving hot and cold drinks. They’re ideal for cafes, restaurants, offices, events, water stations, and food service businesses that need reliable, branded packaging for water, coffee, tea, juice, soft drinks, and other beverages.
What sizes are available for drinking cups?
We offer standard sizes of 4oz, 6oz, 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 20oz, and 24oz. Custom sizes are also available, so if you need a specific volume for your beverage service, just let us know and we’ll create it.
Can I add my logo and branding to the cups?
Absolutely. You can add your logo, company name, artwork, and custom branding in full-color CMYK printing. We support both inside and outside printing for maximum brand visibility and recognition.
What material options are best for hot and cold drinks?
We offer White SBS, Brown Kraft, and Recycled Board options suitable for both hot and cold beverages. All materials are heat-resistant and food-safe, with moisture-resistant coatings to prevent leaks.
Are ripple wall cups available?
Yes. Ripple wall (corrugated) cups provide natural insulation for hot drinks without sleeves, reducing costs and improving sustainability. They’re popular for coffee shops and hot beverage service.
Do paper drinking cups come with lids?
Our cups are compatible with standard flat and dome lids. Lids are sold separately in various styles including sip-through tops and full-closure options. We recommend matching lids for your specific cup size.
What coating options work best for drinking cups?
You can choose from Gloss, Matte, or Spot UV finishes. We recommend water-resistant and heat-resistant coatings for hot beverages and moisture-resistant finishes for cold drinks to prevent condensation issues.
Are paper drinking cups food-safe?
Yes. All our drinking cups use food-safe, FDA-compliant materials and inks. They’re designed to safely hold hot and cold beverages and meet all health and food safety standards.
Are paper drinking cups eco-friendly?
Yes. We use food-safe, eco-certified materials and offer recycled cardboard options. Our biodegradable inks are recyclable, allowing you to serve beverages responsibly while reducing environmental impact.
What is the minimum order quantity?
You can start with as few as 100 units and scale up to 500,000+. We offer tiered bulk discounts, making it affordable for small startups and large beverage chains.
How long does production take?
Our standard turnaround is 8–10 business days. For seasonal campaigns or urgent events, we offer rush production with 4–6 day turnaround and priority printing.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Absolutely. Request a digital PDF proof, 3D mockup, or order a physical sample to review the cup quality, design, and printing before committing to your full bulk order.
Do you offer design support for beverage branding?
Yes. Our design team provides free design review and color consultation to ensure your cups appeal to your target customers. We offer layout templates and one-on-one branding support.
Can I order different sizes in one bulk order?
Yes. We can split your order across different sizes or designs to give you variety. This is useful if you serve multiple beverage types or want to test different sizes with customers.
Can double-wall cups help with insulation?
Yes. Double-wall cups provide extra insulation for hot beverages and added durability. They’re ideal for premium coffee service and events where cups may be handled more frequently.
