Custom Plastic Cups, Printed in Bulk
Put your logo on the cup everyone’s holding. Crystal-clear and classic party cups printed with your brand — from 9 oz tastings to 20 oz stadium pours, by the sleeve or by the pallet.
Everything you need to know about custom plastic cups
Custom plastic cups are disposable drink cups printed with your logo, artwork or campaign — the default drinkware of bars, breweries, stadiums, festivals and catered events. Every drink served becomes a handheld ad: cups appear in every candid photo, travel around the venue, and often go home as souvenirs. Printed cups also cut mix-ups and reinforce sponsorships pour after pour.
Cup choice is size, material and print coverage. This guide compares the standard ounce sizes and where each fits, explains clear PET versus classic polypropylene and compostable options, covers wrap-around print areas, and shows how per-cup pricing scales with volume. If you already know what you need, you can request a custom quote at any point.
The most photographed object at your event is the cup
Scan any party photo: half the frame is raised cups. A custom plastic cup puts your logo in every one of those hands and photos — the cheapest per-impression branding a bar can buy.
In every photo
Cups are held at chest height all night — your print rides in every toast, selfie and story.

How custom plastic cup pricing works
Custom Plastic Cups are priced per unit, and the per-unit price drops as your quantity climbs. Your final quote depends on size and material options, number of print colors, and total quantity. Larger runs and simpler artwork bring the unit cost down the most.
