The guide for businesses that want to print their logo on coffee cups
Printed coffee cups are no longer just a practical way to serve coffee.
They have become a powerful branding tool — visible with every sip, in offices, at events, in shops, and even on the go.
That’s why more and more companies search online for custom coffee cups, full-colour paper cups, and reusable branded cups.
But what should you pay attention to when ordering custom-printed coffee cups?
And why do so many companies choose their own design?
In this guide, you’ll find everything you need to make the best choice.
1. Branding you see every single day
A coffee cup often stays in someone’s hand for more than 10 minutes and is seen by several people.
That makes it an affordable and extremely effective marketing tool.
With custom-printed coffee cups, you can:
- make your logo stand out all day long
- build a professional brand image
- create a uniform look within your company
- impress customers, guests, and employees
No flyer, banner or online ad creates as many daily impressions as a coffee cup.
2. Paper cups or reusable cups — what should you choose?
Printed paper coffee cups
Ideal for:
- offices
- hospitality
- take-away
- events
- trade fairs
Paper cups are lightweight, hygienic, and suitable for any situation.
They are commonly available in 180 ml, 225 ml and 300 ml, the most popular sizes.
You can now order them with a sustainable coating, making them recyclable.
Reusable PP coffee cups
Perfect for:
- sports clubs
- festivals
- schools and universities
- environmentally conscious companies
Reusable branded cups are becoming increasingly popular because they last a long time, reduce costs, and contribute to a more sustainable image.
Think of 25 cl, 30 cl and 50 cl festival cups with full-colour printing, or in a black finish for a premium look.
3. What companies search for most
Many businesses specifically look for:
- custom coffee cups in small quantities starting from 250 pcs
- sustainable printed coffee cups
- reusable coffee cups with logo
- fast delivery on printed cups
- full-colour paper cup design
The demand for short lead times, low minimum order quantities, and eco-friendly options has grown enormously in recent years.
4. What determines the price of printed coffee cups?
The main factors are:
- quantity – higher volumes mean lower cost per cup
- printing – 1 colour, 2 colours, or full colour
- material – paper, bio-paper (P2P), reusable PP
- size – from espresso to large latte cups
- delivery time – express production is possible but may have a surcharge
At PromoCups, printing, design support, and EU-wide delivery are included, so companies know exactly what to expect.
5. A strong design makes all the difference
A professional coffee cup design includes:
- clean placement of your logo
- consistent brand colours
- a seamless wraparound design
- space for a message or QR code
- a premium visual appearance
Many companies choose PromoCups because they receive a free 3D mockup and technical support to create the perfect design.
6. Delivery within 5–10 working days? Yes, it’s possible.
More and more companies need fast turnaround times — for events, trade shows or last-minute marketing campaigns.
That’s why quick delivery options, such as 5–10 working days, are extremely popular.
Thanks to optimized production routes and trusted logistics partners, thousands of cups can be delivered quickly, complete with full-colour printing.
