Paper Cups & Bowls
Custom printed paper cups and bowls for food, drink and on-the-go brands.
For a cafe or food brand, the cup is the most-seen piece of packaging you own. We print cups and bowls with a food-safe coating so your branding rides along with every order.
Pick hot or cold cup builds, and choose compostable stock if you are cutting plastic.

“Proof in my inbox the next morning, boxes on my dock in twelve days, and a rep who answers on the first ring. That is the entire review.”
“We were burned by a supplier who ghosted after payment. These folks sent photos from the press run without being asked. Trust earned.”
The most-photographed packaging you own
A cafe's cup appears in more customer photos than its storefront. It is carried down streets, set on desks, and held in exactly the position where the logo faces a phone camera. For food and drink brands, cups and bowls are not packaging overhead; they are the ad budget you already spent, so a plain white cup is a paid slot running blank.
Hot, cold and the wall question
Hot cups are paperboard with a food-safe inner coating, in single or double wall. Single wall needs a sleeve for drinks over about 60°C; double wall insulates on its own, feels sturdier in the hand, and prints on a smoother outer layer since the two walls are separate. For espresso bars and takeaway coffee, double wall is worth the difference; for water and juice service, single wall is fine.
Cold cups run either paperboard with a moisture-proof coating or clear PET for smoothies and iced drinks where the contents are the display. Bowls follow the same construction as hot cups, in 500 to 1300 ml sizes for poke, soup, porridge and dessert, with paper or PET lids to match.
The lining choice you will be asked about
Standard cups line with polyethylene, which is why they are not recyclable in most curbside streams. PLA-lined compostable cups solve that only where commercial composting collection exists; on-street they land in the same bin. Both options are food-safe, so the real question is which claim you can honestly print. Our take: choose PLA if your local waste stream supports it or your customers expect the gesture; otherwise put the budget into cup print quality and pair with custom labels on the lid.
Print and order notes
Full-color print wraps the entire cup, including under the rim where a second brand color reads as an upgrade. Minimums start around 1,000 units per size, and mixed sizes can share artwork. Send your logo and we mock the cup in 3D for approval before plating.
