WE LOVE CUPS!
About Us.
We love cups! Our team are driven by printing technologies, sustainable innovation, Customer Service and great design. Cup Print was founded in 2009 to cater to the needs of smaller operators by offering flexibility and fast-turnaround solutions with low minimum order quantities. Since then Cup Print have expanded across Europe and the USA and continue to develop sustainable solutions, printing quality, hygiene and quality standards..
SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION
Cup Print is the largest supplier of environmentally-friendly paper cups in Europe and has invested significantly in sustainable technologies to add to our core offering of high-speed, on-demand, short-run coffee cup printing. The majority of production is of alternative, sustainable paper cup models. Cup Print’s two alternative coating paper cup varieties include a certified-as-recyclable paper cup and a compostable cup range – both available with custom designs in quantities from as low as 1000 pcs within a 15-day production lead time. Additionally, Cup Print hold both PEFC certification to guarantee that all virgin paper stock is sourced from sustainable forestry resources – along with BRCGS Grade AA Status for High Hygiene and Quality Management Standards.
WHY CHOOSE US? WE’RE HERE FOR YOU
Cup Print’s business model is more about technology, customer service and fast delivery – rather than mass-volume production that’s only economical at scale. Cup Print founder Terry Fox noticed the high volume and long lead-time requirements associated with major chains put smaller vendors, (who represent over half the market), at a major competitive disadvantage in terms of cost and access to high resolution, customized branding. Cup Print swiftly solved this problem for small operators through their unique, patented technological innovations. Now the majority of the market, which often has storage space restrictions and limited cashflow to bulk buy, has fast, affordable and easy access to branded cups and the ability to swap styles with seasonality, thanks to the low Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) and 15-day order turnaround..
