What are custom printed coffee cups?
A printed coffee cup is one of the most visible pieces of branding a food business can have. It's carried down the street, into offices and onto desks, often for longer than the drink lasts.
The main choice is the wall: how the cup is built affects how hot it feels in the hand and how well it keeps the drink warm. The size is simply an option on the same cup.
Tell us what drinks you serve and in which sizes, and we'll recommend the right cup. You'll test a printed sample before production.

Hot cup options, explained
Single wall
The simplest cup. Economical and fine for drinks that are held briefly, or used with a sleeve.
One layer of coated board.
Double wall
Comfortable to hold without a sleeve and keeps drinks warmer. A popular all-round choice.
A second outer layer of board with a small insulating air gap.
Ripple wall
A textured outer layer that gives the best grip and insulation, and a distinctive look.
A fluted, rippled outer layer over the inner cup.
How to choose the right coffee cup
- 01
How hot are your drinks?
Very hot drinks are more comfortable in double or ripple wall cups.
- 02
How long are they held?
Takeaway customers hold cups for longer, which favours better insulation.
- 03
What sizes do you sell?
Match the cup sizes to your menu, and make sure lids fit every size.
Common mistakes to avoid
Single wall for very hot takeaway drinks
Without a sleeve, customers can find single wall cups too hot to hold.
Mismatched lids
Lids need to fit each cup size exactly. Order cups and lids together.
Coffee cup FAQs
Can coffee cups be printed with my logo?
Yes. We print your branding around the cup and can design it with you at no extra cost.
What's the difference between single, double and ripple wall cups?
Single wall is one layer. Double wall adds an insulating outer layer. Ripple wall adds a textured outer layer for the best grip and heat protection.
Do you supply lids for hot cups?
Yes. We supply matching lids for each cup size.
Can I store large quantities of cups with you?
Yes. We can store your cups in the UK so you can collect them as you need them.
How long do custom printed hot cups take?
Production and delivery typically take 30 to 35 days from the moment you approve your sample and artwork. The quote and sample come before that, so the sooner you get in touch, the better. If you keep stock with us in UK storage, reorders don't have to wait for a new production run.
