Custom cup questions

How many cups do I have to order?

Paper cups start at 500 pieces, which is one case. Paper containers start at 900 to 1,200 pieces depending on the size, and plastic cups and containers start at 5,000.

How long does it take?

Production runs 3 to 4 weeks after you approve the proof. Exact reorders skip setup, so a repeat order moves straight to the next run.

Can I use these for ice cream and frozen desserts?

Yes. Paper cold cups and containers are rated for freezer use, and the round pints are built for the retail freezer. Test a sample with your product first.

Is there a compostable or plastic-free option?

Yes. Every paper cup and container is available in Vanish plastic-free paper, which is home and industrial compostable, recyclable as paper and PFAS-free, at the same minimum.

Which cup is right for hot coffee?

Single wall hot cups work with a sleeve. Double wall cups are insulated and need no sleeve. Both come in 9, 12, 16 and 20/21 oz with white or black sip-through lids.

Can I get a sample first?

Yes. We send samples at no charge so you can fill them with your product and check the fit of the lid before you order.
