What are Printed Paper Cups?
Printed paper cups are custom-branded beverage containers with full-color, high-quality printing that displays your logo, artwork, messaging, and brand identity. They’re ideal for cafes, restaurants, coffee chains, corporate events, product launches, and marketing campaigns looking to make an impact with every drink served.
What sizes are available for printed 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.
What printing quality can I expect?
Our printed cups feature photo-quality, high-resolution printing with precise color matching. We support full-color CMYK printing and PMS spot colors, ensuring your brand looks sharp, vibrant, and professional on every cup.
Can I print my full design on the cup?
Absolutely. We offer full wrap-around printing designs, edge-to-edge coverage, and multi-color artwork. You can also choose to print on the inside or outside, or both, for maximum brand visibility.
What file formats do you accept for printing?
We accept AI, EPS, PDF, and CDR files. Our pre-press team reviews all files, performs color separation, and optimizes them for perfect printing results before production begins.
What are PMS spot colors?
PMS (Pantone Matching System) spot colors are specific, pre-mixed ink colors that ensure exact color matching for your brand. We use PMS printing when you need consistent, branded colors across cups.
What printing methods do you use?
We offer both offset and digital printing capabilities. Offset printing is ideal for large orders with precise color matching, while digital printing is perfect for quick turnarounds and complex artwork.
Can I add spot UV to my printed cups?
Yes. Spot UV creates a glossy, raised effect over specific areas of your design, making logos and key branding elements stand out. This premium finishing option adds visual impact and tactile appeal.
What coating options complement printed designs?
You can choose from Gloss, Matte, or Spot UV finishes. Gloss enhances color vibrancy, matte offers a sophisticated look, and spot UV adds premium highlights to your printed artwork.
Do you provide design support for printed cups?
Yes. Our design team offers free design review, professional layout assistance, and brand consultation. We help optimize your artwork for printing and ensure color accuracy and brand consistency.
Can I see a printed sample before mass production?
Absolutely. Request a digital PDF proof, 3D mockup, or order a physical printed sample to review color accuracy, design clarity, and printing quality before committing to your full order.
What is the minimum order quantity for printed cups?
You can start with as few as 100 units and scale up to 500,000+. We offer tiered bulk discounts, and even smaller orders benefit from our competitive pricing on printed cups.
How long does printed cup production take?
Our standard turnaround is 8–10 business days. For urgent campaigns or product launches, we offer rush production with 4–6 day turnaround and priority printing.
Are printed cups eco-friendly?
Yes. We use food-safe, eco-certified materials and offer recycled cardboard options. Our biodegradable, recyclable inks ensure your beautifully printed cups are also environmentally responsible.
Can I order printed cups with different designs?
Yes. We can split your order across multiple designs, artwork variations, or seasonal themes. This is useful for testing designs, running multiple campaigns, or creating variety in your product lineup.
