Democratising Custom Print
Historically, high-quality printed plastic glassware was reserved for large-scale festivals due to high setup costs and large Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs). However, advancements in digital printing technology have shifted this paradigm. At Printed-Cups, we have optimised our production lines to handle smaller runs efficiently, offering an MOQ of just 50 units.
This accessibility allows private events, weddings, and small corporate functions to access the same quality of durable drinkware used by major stadiums.
Applications for Small Events
Custom reusable cups serve multiple functions at smaller gatherings:
| Event Type | Challenge | Reusable Cup Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Weddings | High cost of glass hire & breakage risk. | Personalised wedding favours that serve drinks safely. |
| Corporate Mixers | Generic disposables dilute brand image. | Branded merchandise reinforcing company identity. |
| Charity Runs | Hydration stations creating litter. | Refillable vessels reducing cleanup. |
Safety and Practicality
Beyond branding, safety is a key consideration. For outdoor weddings, marquees, or events with dancefloors, glass creates a hazard. Shatter-resistant Polypropylene cups offer a safer alternative without compromising on the 'feel' of the drinkware. Unlike flimsy disposables, our cups are rigid and substantial, suitable for serving beer, wine, or cocktails.
Simplifying the Process
Ordering custom products for a one-off event can seem daunting. Our process is designed to be straightforward. We can work with anything from a professional vector logo to a simple text brief (e.g., names and dates). With a standard UK turnaround of 10 days, custom drinkware can be a viable option even for events with shorter planning horizons.
