Questions
& Answers

Technical specs, washing logistics, and delivery details directly from the manufacturer.

01

About Printed-Cups

Who are Printed-Cups?
We’re a UK-based manufacturer specialising in reusable, custom-printed cups for festivals, events, and stadiums.
Learn more about us →
Where are your cups made?
All of our cups are made right here in the UK, helping reduce transport emissions and ensuring every cup meets UKCA certification standards for licensed use.
What are your cups made from?
Polypropylene (PP) — a shatter-resistant, lightweight, fully recyclable plastic (PP #5). It delivers durability, safety, and sustainability over hundreds of uses.
02

Ordering, Artwork & Lead Times

What is the lead time for personalised cups?
Standard lead time is 3–4 weeks from artwork approval. On tight deadlines, talk to us — we’ve completed rush orders in under 48 hours.
Do I need to provide my own artwork?
You can upload artwork using our templates, or our in-house team can set your layout. Vector files (PDF/SVG/AI) and high-resolution images work best. We’ll send a proof for approval before production.
How do I implement a reusable cup scheme at my event?
We help with cup choice, deposit or levy workflows, washing, storage, and logistics.

Can I buy or rent cups?
Yes — we offer purchase (low MOQs), rental for one-off events, and serviced contracts (washing, drying, storage). We’ll recommend the best fit for your event.
How do I make payment?
Payment details and terms are confirmed during your order. Bank details are on the invoice; production begins once payment is received.
How are my cups packed?
Packing depends on order volume. You’ll receive tracking to monitor delivery and expected arrival times.
03

Use, Care & Print

Can I wash my cup at home?
Absolutely. Our cups are dishwasher-safe. Place them on the top shelf and let them dry fully before storage — they’re designed to last hundreds of cycles.
Do I need to use a deposit scheme?
Not necessarily. Deposits encourage returns and reduce litter, but a levy system can work just as well. We’ll advise what best suits your operation.

What is IML?
In-Mould Labelling (IML) fuses your design into the cup during moulding, creating a premium, full-colour finish that won’t peel or scratch.

04

Compliance & Sustainability

Is it illegal to serve drinks in an unwashed or customer-provided cup?
There’s no law prohibiting service in a reused or customer-provided cup, provided you prevent cross-contamination (the cup mustn’t contact taps/dispensing equipment). For alcohol sold by measure, the Weights and Measures Act 1985 requires using a certified UKCA-marked cup or an approved dispensing system. Venues remain responsible for accurate measurements.
Are reusable cups more sustainable than single-use cups?
Yes — 100%. Each reusable cup replaces hundreds of disposables, cutting waste and CO₂ across events. They’re washable, durable, and fully recyclable as PP.
Wouldn’t paper cups be better?
Most “paper” cups have plastic/PLA liners and aren’t widely recyclable. The UK uses 2.5B+ per year, driving high emissions and deforestation. They’re designed for disposal, not reuse.
What about compostable or biodegradable cups?
PLA “bio” cups typically need industrial composting, which is scarce in the UK, so they often end up in landfill/incineration and can contaminate recycling. Reusable PP cups are genuinely recyclable and designed for long-term use.
