We see it everywhere – the demand for take-away coffee keeps increasing.
People are on the go, want convenience, and are choosing coffee to go in large numbers — and that has a direct impact on what we do at Promocups.
As specialists in printed cups, we see every day how the market is shifting —
not only in volume, but also in size, usability, and sustainability.
In this blog, we’ll share what we’re observing, what businesses are focusing on today, and how we’re responding.
The Coffee Cup Has Become Mobile
Where cups were once mainly used in offices or at trade shows, we now see a huge rise in orders for cups that are truly made for on-the-go use.
Think of:
• Coffee carts and food trucks
• Festivals and outdoor locations
• Coffee bars without seating areas
• Hotels with self-service stations
• Retail brands that want their own branded cups
We especially notice a growing demand for smaller cups (such as 180 cc or 8 oz) — practical, sturdy, and perfect for take-away.
Sustainability Is No Longer a Trend — It’s the Standard!
Almost every customer who contacts us today asks the same question:
“Do you also have sustainable cups?”
Our answer: absolutely — but sustainability isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.
It’s about choosing the right material for the right purpose:
• Paperboard with PE coating (standard but recyclable)
• Paperboard with water-based coating (a more eco-friendly option)
• Compostable cups (e.g., PLA-coated, if properly collected)
We help our clients make the best choice based on usage, regulations, and brand appearance.
What Does This Mean for You as a Customer?
If you serve take-away coffee (or juices), it’s not only about how your cup looks — you also need to consider:
• Which size fits your product and audience best?
• Which material is suitable and compliant with regulations?
• How can you communicate sustainability through your cup design?
We’re happy to think along with you — whether it’s a large order for a franchise or a small event at a festival,
we’ll make sure your cup fits your brand and the times we live in.
