FACTORY DIRECT

The UK's Home of
Sustainable Cups

Replacing glassware is a decision a venue makes once and lives with for years, so batch consistency matters. We mould from our own tooling in Stockton-on-Tees, which means the cups you standardise on this year are dimensionally the same as the ones you reorder next.

#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

Replacing Glassware Without Dropping Standards

Reusable plastic pint cups are shatterproof 568ml cups designed to do the job of a pint glass in venues where glass is a liability. We mould ours in the UK from food-grade polypropylene and UKCA mark the measure, so they can be used to serve draught beer and cider legally.

The case for switching is usually written in breakage. Glassware is a permanent replacement line on a venue P&L, and every broken glass is a cost, a clean-up and, in a busy room, a genuine safety risk. A plastic pint cup that survives being dropped removes all three, which is why beer gardens, festivals, stadiums, arenas and late-night venues moved to glass-free as standard rather than as an exception.

What holds a switch back is a fear of dropping standards, and that is fair — a flimsy, hazy cup does make a good pint look worse. The answer is material grade and wall section. We mould from high-impact PP5 with a rim and wall specified for repeat handling, so the cup feels substantial in the hand and stays clear rather than clouding after a few dozen washes.

Compliance is the part that has to be exactly right. If you are selling draught by the pint, the cup must carry a UKCA mark and the fill line has to be moulded to a verified tolerance. We own the tooling and check the measure before a batch ships, so what you serve from is compliant rather than merely described as such. Plastic beer glasses without a verified line are not a legal pint.

Operationally they behave like glass and store better than it. They run in the glasswasher you already have at up to 60°C, rated for 200 or more cycles, and they stack far tighter than glassware — which is worth a great deal in a cellar or a concourse where space is the constraint. Minimum order is 50 units for a trial, scaling well past 100,000 for a venue roll-out.

Got Questions?

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

Yes, provided they are UKCA marked. Ours are, with the fill line moulded to a verified tolerance and checked before the batch ships. That is what makes the pour a legal pint rather than an approximate one.
That depends entirely on the grade. We mould from high-impact PP5 with a wall and rim specified for repeat handling, so the cup has weight in the hand and stays clear rather than hazing after a few dozen washes. Thin imported cups are where the reputation comes from.
Yes — they are rated for 200 or more cycles at up to 60°C and slot into the wash routine you already run. Use a rack or cage, because they are light enough to lift in the spray.
The saving is in breakage rather than unit price. Glassware is a recurring replacement line; a cup that does not break turns that into a one-off purchase. Most venues find the payback comes from breakage and clean-up time rather than from the cup itself.
568ml pint to line for draught, and pint to brim for soft drinks and mixers. We also make 330ml half pints, two pints, wine and cocktail cups if you are replacing more of the glassware range.
Yes. We hold plain pint-to-brim and pint-to-line stock, which ships far faster than a printed run and is the usual route for venues wanting to trial the switch before committing to branding.
Yes, 100%. They are single-polymer PP5 with no laminate, and we offer closed-loop take-back so worn cups return to us to be reground and remoulded.
50 units, which is enough to trial across a real service. Venue roll-outs regularly run past 100,000 units on the same lines with the same pricing structure.

A Straight Swap for Glassware

Reusable plastic pint cups that behave like glass on the bar

No Breakage

Shatterproof, Not Just Tough

Polypropylene does not fragment. A dropped cup is a spill and a pick-up, not a closed bar area, a glass sweep and an incident report. That is the entire reason glass-free policies exist.

UKCA Marked

A Legal Pint, Properly Marked

UKCA marked at 568ml pint to line with the fill line moulded to a verified tolerance, so the measure is right in the cup rather than judged by eye at pace.

Dishwasher Safe

Runs in Your Existing Glasswasher

Rated for 200+ cycles at up to 60°C, so they slot into the wash routine you already have. Use a rack or cage — they are light enough to lift in the spray.

Lower Cost

Replaces Glass Breakage Costs

Glassware is a recurring replacement line on every venue P&L. A cup that does not break turns that from an ongoing cost into a one-off purchase, which is usually where the payback comes from.
