Custom Cups and Packaging for Coffee Shops and Cafés

A coffee cup is held at eye level for the length of a drink and often carried through a street or an office. Nothing else on a café counter carries a logo as far, which is why the cup is usually the first thing worth printing.

Hot cups come in two builds. Double wall insulates on its own, so it can be handled straight from the machine with no sleeve, running 8oz to 20oz at 260 per case with a 5-case minimum. Single wall costs less per cup and runs 4oz through 20oz at 700 per case with a 3-case minimum — the 4oz size is there for espresso and tasting service. If you currently buy a sleeve for every hot drink, compare the combined cost before assuming single wall is cheaper.

For iced service, clear cold cups run 12oz to 32oz at 240 to 300 per case and put the drink on display, which suits cold brew and layered iced drinks. Paper cold cups run 12oz, 16oz and 22oz at 700 per case and give a full opaque print surface, so detailed or pale artwork stays legible whatever is in the cup.

Lids are ordered separately so the lid matches the drink: domed, flat with a straw slot, or strawless sip for cold; tear-back and standard travel for hot. Bakery boxes in twenty-four sizes cover the food side of the counter. Artwork setup is $75 once per order.

Custom Cups and Packaging for Coffee Shops and Cafés — Common Questions

Should a café order single wall or double wall hot cups?

Double wall cups insulate on their own and need no sleeve, which also leaves the whole cup as one uninterrupted print surface. Single wall costs less per cup but generally needs a sleeve, so compare the combined cost.

What is the minimum order for printed coffee cups?

Single wall hot cups start at 3 cases of 700. Double wall hot cups start at 5 cases of 260. Clear cold cups start at 5 cases, at 240 to 300 per case depending on size.

Do you print 4oz espresso cups?

Yes. The single wall range starts at 4oz, which covers espresso and tasting service, and runs up to 20oz.

Are lids included with the cups?

No. Lids are ordered separately so the style matches the service — domed, flat with straw slot or strawless sip for cold cups, tear-back or standard travel for hot.

Can I print cups and bakery boxes in one order?

Yes, and it is cheaper. The $75 artwork setup is charged once per order rather than once per product, so cups, lids and pastry boxes on the same order share it.
