Dip Cups are custom-printed paperboard food cartons for single-serve sauces and dips, made for restaurants, food trucks, and packaged-snack brands that send a portion of dip with every order. We build them on SBS or kraft folding-carton stock and print them in full-color CMYK.
A branded dip cup carries your name beyond the counter and turns an everyday add-on into part of your presentation. Quick-fold construction keeps your line moving during a rush, and full-color printing means the same look across ranch, salsa, or sweet sauces without swapping suppliers. Food trucks and quick-serve kitchens use these to pair fries, nuggets, or veggie sticks with a clean, on-brand portion.
