Printed Half Pint Cups
The most versatile cup on the bar.

Printed half pint cups are 330ml branded reusable cups, moulded and UKCA marked in our own UK factory. They are the size most bars underestimate and then end up ordering more of than anything else, because a half pint covers a wider stretch of the drinks list than a pint ever does.

Consider what actually goes into one. A large glass of wine, a single or double spirit with mixer, a soft drink, a prosecco, a cordial for a child — all of them sit comfortably in a 330ml half without looking under-poured. Serve the same drinks in a pint cup and they look lost; serve them in something smaller and you are refilling constantly. That is why venues that stock half pint cups typically retire two or three other lines from behind the bar.

Because a half pint is a legal measure in its own right, the UKCA mark matters here just as much as on a pint. If you are serving half pints of beer or cider, or measured wine, the fill line has to be moulded to a verified tolerance and marked accordingly. We control the tooling and check the measure in-house, so the compliance is real rather than assumed.

There is a practical safety argument as well. Shatterproof polypropylene, a smaller volume and a lighter cup make printed half pint cups the obvious choice for family events, school fetes, weddings with children present, and anywhere a dropped glass would be a problem. Plenty of venues run halves as their default and keep pints for the draught bar only.

On cost, a half pint uses less material than a pint and comes in as the lowest unit price in our printed range — which adds up when you are buying for a season rather than a weekend. Minimum order is 50 units, standard production is around 10 working days, and selected lines are available on a 48-hour express service with free UK mainland delivery.
