Who Are Our 16 oz Custom Cups For?
Finding the right cup for your business is key to a strong marketing campaign. Our 16 oz cups are the standard large size in the industry, making them a great choice for:
- Artisanal coffee shops and bakeries: Perfect for lattes, cappuccinos, and iced drinks.
- Corporate event planners: Great for boosting your brand at trade shows and seminars.
- Juice bars and smoothie shops: Easy to hold for cold, thick drinks.
- Marketing agencies: Great for creating high-visibility “walking billboards” during product launches.
Why 16 oz is the Gold Standard for Beverage Branding
When you pick up an RCB 16 oz cup, you can feel how sturdy it is. Other cups often get soft after just ten minutes with a hot drink, but ours stay firm from start to finish. We use a special poly-coating, or an aqueous coating for eco-friendly brands, to keep moisture out. This helps prevent the side walls from breaking down.
The 16 oz size is just right for most customers. It holds enough for a satisfying drink and gives you plenty of space for your logo. Whether you choose a simple design or a full-color photo, our smooth paperboard keeps your artwork sharp and clear.
Tailored Features for Every Pour
We know that every menu is different, so you can customize your order with the wall types and finishes that fit your needs.
Heat Retention and Comfort
If you serve hot Americanos, our double wall paper cups keep drinks warm without needing a cardboard sleeve. For boiling teas, our ripple wall paper cups have a textured grip and an air pocket that keeps the drink hot but the outside cool.
Sustainability Without Compromise
If your brand cares about the environment, our eco-friendly paper cups are a great choice. They are made from FSC-certified paper and have compostable linings, so your brand stands out to customers without harming the planet.
Versatility Across the Menu
Many people think of these cups for coffee, but they also work well as cold drink paper cups. The lining keeps condensation from soaking the base, so they are great for sodas, iced teas, or milkshakes at outdoor events.

Questions & Answers about 16 oz Paper Cups
We’ve put together answers to the questions we hear most about our custom-printed beverage containers.
Read our Custom Packaging Support & Ordering FAQs →Are the 16-oz cups compatible with standard lids?
Yes, our 16 oz cups have a 90mm rim, so they fit our coffee cups with lids. The snap-tight seal keeps your drink from leaking while you’re out and about.
Can I use these for both hot and cold drinks?
Yes, these cups work for both hot and cold drinks. They’re perfect for hot drinks like lattes, and the special lining keeps cold drinks from making the cup soggy.
What is the difference between Single Wall and Double Wall?
Single wall cups are a budget option and work for cold or mildly warm drinks, especially with a sleeve. Double wall cups have extra insulation, making them great for hot drinks without needing a sleeve.
Is there a limit to how many colors I can print?
We use full-color CMYK printing, so you can choose anything from a simple black logo to a bright, full-wrap design. Your artwork will look clear and sharp.
How do I ensure my logo doesn't look distorted on the curved surface?
Our design team provides a "die-line" template. Because the cup is wider at the top, we adjust your artwork so it looks straight and even once it’s printed.
Do you offer smaller sizes for espresso or samples?
Yes, if 16 oz is too big, we have other sizes. Try our 4oz paper cups for espresso or 12oz paper cups for a medium drink.
