Why Your Brand Needs the Double-Wall Advantage
When you hand a customer a hot latte, you want them to feel comfortable, not risk getting burned. We tested different paper weights and found that the space between the two layers in a double-wall cup works as a natural insulator. Single-wall cups can feel flimsy or get too hot, but our double-wall cups stay strong and cool to the touch.
This design is about more than safety. It also gives customers a sense of quality when they hold the cup. If a cup feels sturdy, people often connect that feeling to the quality of the drink inside.
We’ve helped thousands of businesses grow their brands with our packaging. Most often, our custom double wall cups are chosen by:
- Specialty coffee shops and roasteries that want a cleaner look without using cardboard sleeves.
- Corporate event planners who need professional, high-end branding for conferences.
- Catering services that require reliable heat retention for serving drinks at large events.
- Juice bars and dessert shops, especially those switching between hot and cold menu items.
Features That Set RCB Cups Apart
At RushCustomBoxes (RCB), we do more than print logos. We create marketing tools that work for you. Our focus is on precise color matching and strong construction. We noticed that many cups leak at the seams or have ink that runs when they get wet. To fix this, we use high-quality, moisture-resistant inks and a stronger base seal.
Superior Thermal Insulation
Our air pocket technology keeps heat from reaching the outside of the cup. You can serve very hot drinks without worrying about customers burning their hands. This also cuts down on waste because you do not need to buy or use extra sleeves.
High-Definition Branding Canvas
Your logo is often the first thing people notice. Our printing keeps even detailed designs clear and sharp. Whether you need cups for a one-time event or your regular cafe, our matte or glossy double-wall cups look more professional than standard matte options.
Versatility Across the Menu
These cups are designed for hot drinks, but they also work great for cold drinks. The double wall prevents condensation, so hands stay dry. If you offer different drinks or desserts, our cold drink and dessert cups help keep your brand looking consistent.
Sustainable Choices for Modern Businesses
We know that the term "eco-friendly" is often used without much meaning. At RCB, our paper cups use aqueous or PLA linings. These materials break down faster than traditional plastic linings, so you can reach your sustainability goals while still giving your customers the reliable, leak-proof cups they expect.
Questions & Answers about Double Wall Paper Cups
Here are answers to the most common questions about our custom-printed insulated cups.
Read our Custom Packaging Support & Ordering FAQs →Do I need to buy sleeves if I use double wall cups?
No, you don’t need sleeves. Double wall cups have built-in insulation, so the outside stays comfortable to hold, even with drinks as hot as 190°F. This means you save money and don’t need to store extra sleeves.
What is the difference between double-wall and ripple wall cups?
Both types protect your hands from heat. Double wall cups have a smooth surface, making them ideal for printing high-quality logos. Ripple wall cups have a textured surface for better grip, but this texture can sometimes distort detailed logos.
Can these cups be used for vending machines?
Yes, you can use these cups, but we suggest that you make sure your machine is properly calibrated. Our vending machine paper cups are made for mechanical dispensing. Many customers also use our 8-oz and 12-oz double-wall cups in premium automated kiosks.
How do I ensure my logo colors look right?
At RCB, we give you digital proofs and help match your colors. Since paper and plastic absorb ink in different ways, we use special coatings to keep your brand colors bright and consistent with your guidelines.
Are these cups recyclable?
Most of our double wall cups can be recycled at facilities that accept PE-coated paper. If your brand follows strict zero-waste guidelines, we suggest using our compostable kraft paper cups with bio-linings.
