Paper cups meant for printing are made from materials specially suited for accepting and retaining print. Materials commonly used include:

Coated Cardboard

The most common choice of material used to manufacture printable paper cups. The cardboard base is covered with a thin coating that allows for good print quality. However, coated cardboard cups tend to get soggy with hot liquids.

Poly-Coated Paper

Paper cups made with a poly coating provide enhanced protection against leaks while also retaining print effectively. Poly-coated paper cups provide better durability for hot drinks.

Biodegradable & Compostable Materials

For eco-conscious businesses, paper cups made using natural materials like bagasse pulp can be used. These sustainable paper cups can be printed on and make for great branded giveaways.

The printing can involve anything from your business name, logo, tagline to images, illustrations, patterns, and messaging. Using the latest technology such as digital printing and flexographic printing, the artwork is printed directly onto the paper cups. This results in stunning full-colour prints even on curved cup surfaces.

The printed paper cups not only provide businesses with a portable and disposable branding canvas but also elevate customer experience. Let’s look at the key benefits of opting for custom paper cup printing for your business by Colour Waves below:
