Who Are These Large-Format Cups For?
Before you decide on your branding, think about who will use the cup. The 18 oz size is often called "Large" or "Extra-Large" and is a favorite for a few reasons. It works well for customers who want more caffeine in the morning. It’s also a good choice for outdoor concerts or company events where fewer refills are better. The 18 oz cup holds thick smoothies and lots of ice without spilling. Adding your brand to these cups can improve breakroom culture and highlight company pride.
Why RCB’s 18 oz Cups Outperform the Competition
At Rush Custom Boxes, we have handled thousands of print jobs and understand that a cup is more than just a container. It helps your customers connect with your business. Many cheaper cups use thin 250gsm paper that softens quickly with hot drinks. We use strong, high-density paperboard that keeps its shape, even during long commutes.
Our HD-Print technology makes us different. While some companies use offset printing that can look grainy on curved cups, we use Pantone standards to match your brand colors. Our food-grade inks are odorless, so your customers taste the coffee, not the ink.
Key Features
Switching from standard 16 oz paper cups to our 18 oz version gives you extra space for whipped cream or ice. The tightly rolled rim on our cups forms a strong seal with our lids, helping to prevent spills when the lid pops off.
Choosing the Right Style for Your Drink Menu
Different drinks need different types of cups. For example, a hot americano needs more insulation than a cold brew. At RCB, we have options to match whatever you serve.
Versatile Hot and Cold Performance
Our 18 oz cups have a poly-coated inside that keeps the paper strong, even with cold drinks. For very hot drinks, try our corrugated cups with sleeves for extra hand protection.
Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Initiatives
Today’s customers care about the environment. That’s why we offer paper cups made from recycled fiber. When you choose RCB, you show your commitment to sustainability on every cup.
From Design to Delivery: The RCB Advantage
Ordering custom cups should be simple. Our design team will send you a free "Press-Ready" proof before we start printing. Whether you want a basic logo or a full wraparound design, we make sure the size fits perfectly. If you need something smaller for espresso, we also offer 12 oz paper cups with the same great print quality.
Questions & Answers
We’ve put together answers to the most common questions about how our custom 18 oz beverage containers are designed and shipped.
View All FAQs →How do I ensure my logo doesn't look blurry on the 18 oz surface?
For the best results, please upload your logo as a vector file like AI, EPS, or PDF. Our team will make sure your logo prints clearly and straight, even on the cup’s tapered surface.
Are these cups compatible with standard 90mm lids?
Our 18 oz cups fit most standard 90mm lids. If you also use our 20 oz paper cups, you can typically use the same lids for both sizes.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom printing?
We help all kinds of businesses, from small shops to large chains. Bigger orders come with better prices, but you don’t need to order a minimum amount. This way, new businesses can get branded packaging without a big upfront cost.
Can these cups be used for oily liquids or soups?
Our 18 oz cups are great for coffee, tea, and soda. The high-quality PE lining also makes them suitable for oily drinks. If you need cups for very hot soups, we recommend our heavy-duty double-wall cups to help keep the outside cool.
Do the cups have a "papery" taste?
You don’t have to worry about your drink tasting like paper. Our cups use food-safe coatings and high-quality paper, so your coffee or specialty drink will taste just the way it should.
How long does shipping take after the design is approved?
Our standard production time is about 6 to 7 business days, not including shipping. If you need your order sooner, we have rush options available for urgent needs or last-minute events.
