Custom Printed Cold Cups are branded cups for iced drinks, built for cafes, juice bars, smoothie shops, and events that pour cold beverages and want their logo in every customer's hand. Each cup is custom-printed in full color so your brand travels off-premise with the drink.
A printed cup turns a routine order into a walking ad, and a consistent wrap across sizes keeps your counter looking deliberate rather than thrown together. Order a matched set for iced coffee, lemonade, and frozen drinks, and your whole cold menu reads as one brand. Clean artwork also makes flavors and sizes easy to tell apart at a busy pickup window.

Printing & Finishing
Choose a matte print for a soft, low-glare look or a gloss finish that makes color pop on the shelf. Full-color CMYK reproduces gradients, photography, and tight logo detail, so your artwork lands the same on every cup in the run.

Cold Cup Printing Beyond a Trial Case
A tapered cup fights flat artwork, so a wrap has to be drawn to the cone rather than to a rectangle. PET gives the clearest look for cold drinks and prints crisply, polypropylene is more forgiving on impact and slightly softer visually, and wall gauge decides whether the cup flexes when a lid is pressed home.
| Cups | Wrap artwork guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Cone trials to see how the artwork distorts. |
| 500 | One promotional weekend at a single venue. |
| 1,000 | Two cup sizes sharing a single lid diameter. |
| 5,000 | Extra print stations barely register per cup. |
| 10,000+ | Venue contract supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Two lanes control the date: printing kept domestically may be delivered by about 7 business days, specialty imported cup stock often needs about 12 weeks, both given here as planning ranges, not guarantees. Free dieline design covers the cone wrap template we build for you. Send cup volume, taper measurements, rim diameter, lid style, and quantity per order.
