How to buy plastic cups

Plastic cups can be a rather difficult product to order, why in the following guide we will cover the decisions you need to make before ordering. When ordering our plastic cups, you need to take three decisions: the desired quantity, amount of colours you want in your design, and delivery time. I will cover the differences down below.

Quantity

We work with two different manufacturers who are placed in Europe. We have one manufacturer who can deliver plastic cups from a 1.000 pcs’ to 10.000 pcs.

Our other manufacturer has a minimum order quantity of 5.000 pcs’, and they have no limit in the maximum amount you can order. If you buy more than 200.000 pcs., the delivery time can be longer than 6 weeks.

Delivery time

We use two different manufacturers of plastic cups. We have one who can deliver in three weeks in amounts from 1.000 to 10.000 pcs., they can normally also deliver faster than three weeks.

We also work with a cheaper manufacturer who has a minimum of 5.000 pcs. and a delivery time of 4-6 weeks and no express option.

Amount of colours

In order to be able to deliver plastic cups from a 1.000 pcs. And in only three weeks, this manufacturer are only able to make one Pantone colour print, and you have to choose between 11 different colours; white, black, yellow, rhodamine red, reflex blue, rubine red, purple, cyan, warm red, violet, green. We are able to buy custom colours for the print, but then delivery time and price will be higher.

With our manufacturer who can deliver from 5.000 pcs., we can use up to 6 different Pantone colours in the design. There are no limitations in the Pantone colours, so you can use practically all colours you would like.

Size

Our plastic cups are available in 4 different sizes and can be used for multiple drinks. We can with our plastic cups from a 5.000 pcs. make two types of 350 ml., one in standard and one in luxury thickness. The standard one is cheaper but still really durable.

• 250 ml – It is most commonly used to serve cocktails or used for giving out free samples.
• 350 ml – This size is mostly used for smaller sizes of ice coffee, a milkshake or a smoothie at a café shop or a juice bar.
• 350 ml standard – This size is used by a lot of cafés and juice bars for their smaller size.
• 450 ml – It is the perfect size for a beer on a Friday night, but also it is used for the big size of milkshakes, iced coffee, and different smoothies.
• 550 ml – This is mostly used and preferred from customers that have a long way ahead and are in need for the largest size.

How to design – Colour print

When it comes to the stage where you want to decide the design of your plastic cup, you need to remember to pick the amount of colours you would like in the design. If you want to buy between 1.000 to 5.000 cups, remember you can only pick one colour and you have to choose between 11 colours. It is important for our design team to know, so they can help you make the perfect design for your plastic cups. You can also work on the design one of your own, and upload it with your order and our design team will look it over before it goes to production.

Lids

You can also get lids for your plastic cups, since the diameter of the cups are 95 mm in all sizes, the lids fit for all of them. You can choose between dome and flat lids, they are both transparent.
