Why Choose The 6 oz Cup?
If a 4 oz cup is too small for a flat white and an 8 oz cup feels too big, the 6 oz paper cup is the perfect solution. We’ve found this size is the "Goldilocks" of the coffee world, making it great for cortados or juice samples at trade shows.
Over the years, we’ve seen that many generic cups have problems like soft rims or getting too hot to hold. That’s why we use a strong rolled rim that stays firm, even with hot drinks. Our cups won’t collapse or feel flimsy like cheaper ones.
Drink Serving Solutions for Any Industry
Our 6 oz cups are useful in more places than just coffee shops. Many of our clients value both style and practicality:
- Boutique Cafés & Roasteries: Perfect for specialty drinks like flat whites and macchiatos, where the balance of foam and espresso is important.
- Trade Show Exhibitors: Large enough for a good sample, but without the waste of a full-sized cup.
- Corporate Offices: Useful for water coolers and espresso stations, and easy to stack to save space.
- Ice Cream Parlors: Sturdy enough to hold a big scoop of gelato without the bottom getting soggy.
Key Benefits of Partnering with RCB
Working with RCB means more than just getting paper cups. You have a dependable manufacturing partner who values quality, consistency, and your brand’s growth.
Leak-Proof Integrity
We use a strong heat-sealing process on the side seams and bottom discs. In our tests, these cups hold liquid for more than 24 hours without any leaks or base failures. Whether you serve cold drinks or hot tea, the cups stay sturdy.
High-Fidelity Branding
Generic printing can cause logos to blur or bleed. At RCB, we use advanced offset and digital printing, so your brand colors look bright and your social media handles stay clear. Every cup becomes a chance to promote your brand.
Sustainable Choices
We know more people want eco-friendly options. That’s why we offer paper cups made from FSC-certified paper and biodegradable linings. You can show your customers that your brand cares about the planet, too.
Versatile Applications
If you need something different, we have many options. Our double wall paper cups keep hands safe with extra insulation for hot drinks. For bigger servings, our 12 oz cups are perfect for medium lattes.
See What Makes RCB Stand Out
RushCustomBoxes handles every step, from design approval to shipping, instead of relying on print-on-demand middlemen. We know a cheap cup can cost more if it leaks on your customer's shirt. Our quality control team checks each batch for rim consistency and print alignment.
When you pick up an RCB cup, you can feel the sturdy paperboard. It stays firm in your hand, showing the quality your business stands for.
Questions & Answers about 6 oz Paper Cups
We answer the most common questions about our 6 oz line, from sizing to printing details, so you can choose the best option for your brand.
Read our Custom Packaging Support & Ordering FAQs →Can these 6-oz cups be used for both hot and cold drinks?
Yes, these cups have a moisture-resistant lining that keeps the paper strong. They work well for espresso, chilled juice, or as sample cups at food festivals.
Do I need a sleeve for the 6-oz size?
For espresso drinks, which are usually finished quickly, you don’t need a sleeve. If you’re serving boiling water for tea, we suggest using our double-wall cups or a small sleeve to keep your hands comfortable.
What is the turnaround time for a custom order?
Standard production takes 8 to 10 business days after artwork is approved. If you need your order sooner, we also offer rush shipping options.
Are the inks used in the printing food-safe?
Yes, we use food-grade soy-based or water-based inks that are odorless and tasteless. Your customers will only taste the drink, not the packaging.
Can I print on the bottom or the inside of the cup?
We print all the way around the outside of the cup. For safety, we don’t print on the inside, so there’s no contact between ink and your drink.
Do you provide design assistance?
Yes, we can help. If you have a logo but need help with the layout, our design team will make sure your graphics look great on the cup.
