PHOTO-QUALITY 360° BRANDING

Printed Branded Cups
Your logo, in every hand, all night.

Printed branded cups turn every drink served into brand exposure. We print full-colour, edge-to-edge, 360° around the cup using in-mould labelling — photographic quality that will not peel, scratch or wash off.

MADE IN BRITAIN

The UK's Home of
Sustainable Cups

We do not send your artwork out to a third-party printer. Moulding and decoration happen on the same floor in Stockton-on-Tees, which means colour is matched under one roof, proofs come back quickly, and there is one team accountable for how your brand looks.

For decades, we've been manufacturing cups for most UK suppliers—before they were bought out by French companies.

There's a good chance you've been using our cups all along.

While competitors moved production to France for cheaper costs, we stayed committed to British manufacturing.

For years, suppliers slapped their brand on our products and charged you a markup. Cut out the middleman.

Why marketing teams choose our printed branded cups

#1

I ordered reusable cups for my event and they were perfect. Great quality, durable, and the printing looked amazing. Guests loved them and they were a much better eco-friendly alternative to disposable cups. The ordering process was smooth and delivery was quick. I’ll definitely be buying again for future events.

Technical Overview

Printed Branded Cups as a Marketing Asset

Printed branded cups put your logo into the hand of every person holding a drink, for as long as they are holding it. At a busy bar that is thousands of impressions an evening, each one lasting the length of a pint rather than the second and a half a printed flyer gets.

How the cup is printed determines how good that impression is. Full-colour in-mould labelling is our premium option: a printed label is placed into the mould and the polypropylene is injected behind it, fusing artwork and cup into a single wall. That allows photography, gradients, fine type and a true 360° wrap with no seam or panel gap. Single-colour screen printing is the value route — crisp, solid spot colour, ideal for a straightforward logo, and a couple of days quicker through production.

The reason to care about the method is longevity. Applied labels lift at the edges and surface inks abrade in a glasswasher, which is how branded cups end up looking tired halfway through a season. Fusing the print into the wall removes both failure modes, so your branding survives repeat washing intact — which matters a great deal if the cups are going out again next weekend.

Artwork handling is included rather than charged for. Send a logo in any usable format and our studio lays it up on the cup profile, checks colour breaks and safe areas, and sends a visual back for approval. Revisions are free on standard artwork, and if what you have is low resolution or awkwardly proportioned we will tell you before it goes to plate rather than after.

Most printed branded cups earn their cost twice. Once as drinkware you were going to buy anyway, and again as sponsorship inventory — a bar cup with a sponsor logo on the reverse is sellable space, and plenty of events cover their entire cup spend by selling it. Minimum order is 50 units, standard production is around 10 working days, and 48-hour express is available when a sponsor lands late.

Everything you need to know about our reusable stadium & event cups

Two. Full-colour in-mould labelling (IML) fuses a photographic label into the cup wall during moulding, giving a 360° wrap with gradients and fine detail. Single-colour screen printing applies one solid spot colour and is the faster, lower-cost option for simple logos.
No. With IML the artwork is inside the wall of the cup rather than applied on top, so there is no edge to lift and nothing to abrade in a glasswasher. Screen print is cured onto the cup and is also rated for hundreds of wash cycles.
Full-colour IML is effectively unlimited — CMYK plus spot colours, photography and gradients all reproduce. Screen printing is one solid colour. If your logo has more than one colour and budget allows, IML is the right choice.
No, not on standard artwork. Send us your logo and our studio will lay it up on the cup and send you a visual proof, with revisions included. We will flag any resolution or proportion issues before production rather than after.
Vector is ideal — AI, EPS, PDF or SVG — because it scales without quality loss. We can work from high-resolution PNG or JPEG for full-colour IML. If all you have is a low-resolution file, send it anyway and we will tell you honestly whether it will hold up.
Yes, and it is one of the most common uses. A 360° wrap gives you the front for your own identity and the reverse for a sponsor. Many events sell that reverse panel and cover the entire cost of the cups.
50 units. That suits a corporate away-day or a wedding; the same lines scale to 100,000 units and beyond for festivals and venue roll-outs.
Standard production is around 10 working days from artwork approval. Selected lines can be produced and dispatched in 48 hours on our express service, and UK mainland delivery is free.

Branding That Holds Up

Photo Quality

Full-Colour IML Printing

In-mould labelling fuses a photographic label into the cup wall as it is moulded. You get gradients, photography and fine detail at 360° — not the flat spot colours screen printing limits you to.

Won't Wash Off

Print That Cannot Peel

Because the artwork sits inside the wall rather than on top of it, there is no edge to lift and no ink to abrade. Branded cups come out of the two hundredth wash looking like the first.

No Design Fee

Free Artwork Visual

Send us a logo in any usable format and our studio will lay it up on the cup and send a visual back before you commit to anything. Revisions are included and there is no design fee on standard artwork.
