Custom Paper Cups

Thin paper cups leak and provide poor grip. Hot beverages in these cups burn the fingers and make it difficult for the person to hold them. Does not happen with our custom paper cups! We manufacture paper cups in a leak-resistant, strong paperboard material that withstands the beverage temperature. For hot beverages, we make these cups in double- or triple-wall construction that reduces heat transfer from the cup to the hand.

Single-wall cups are an economical option for cold drinks and short-duration use. You can customize these cups in multiple capacities based on the serving size. Our popular serving sizes are 4oz to 20oz. Restaurants and catering businesses can print these cups with their brand elements to keep branding prominent for their business.
