Custom Fruit Cups are paperboard food cartons for grab-and-go fresh fruit, made by retailers, caterers, and meal-prep brands who want shelf-ready portions with their name on every cup. We print them in full-color CMYK on SBS or kraft folding-carton stock built to your spec.
A printed cup turns a simple fruit portion into a branded product your customers recognize on a deli case or lunch counter. Clear fold lines keep assembly fast for high-volume prep lines, and an optional window cutout lets shoppers see the berries, melon, or mixed slices inside before they pick one up. Caterers use these to package single-serve fruit for events without relabeling generic containers.
