Why These Cups Feel Different in Your Hand
When you hold one of our eco-friendly paper cups, you’ll notice more than the crisp logo. The texture is different. Unlike plastic-coated cups that feel slick and artificial, ours have a matte finish that feels comfortable and secure.
In busy cafes, many compostable cups get soggy after just fifteen minutes with hot drinks. Our cups have a reinforced base and a plant-based PLA lining, so they stay sturdy for hours. You also won’t taste any cardboard in your coffee. The inside is neutral, so your drink tastes just as the barista intended.
High-Definition Branding with Soy-Based Inks
Most generic cups use petroleum-based inks that can give off a chemical smell when heated. We use only water-based and soy-based inks. Your brand colors look bright and clear, and your customers smell fresh coffee, not chemicals. Whether you serve espresso in our 4 oz cups or a large latte in our 16 oz cups, the print quality stays sharp and doesn’t smear.
Versatility for Every Temperature
These cups aren’t just for hot coffee. Their sturdy, sustainable design makes them great for many uses. If you serve frozen treats or cold drinks, our ice cream & dessert paper cups offer the same biodegradable benefits and resist condensation and moisture on the outside.
Why Your Business Needs to Transition to Compostable Solutions
Consumers today are quick to spot 'greenwashing.' When you offer a cup that is clearly labeled as compostable, you earn their trust right away. This simple choice shows your company’s values without saying a word. If you want a natural, hands-on look, our kraft paper cups give you that organic style while still meeting top eco-friendly standards.
Reducing Your Carbon Footprint One Sip at a Time
Traditional PE-lined cups can take up to 200 years to break down in a landfill. Our cups are made to decompose in commercial composting facilities, turning back into organic matter. By choosing these cups, your business supports a circular economy and reduces long-lasting waste from daily use.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Eco-Friendly Paper Cups
We’ve answered the most common technical and environmental questions our clients have when they switch to eco-friendly drinkware.
Read our Custom Packaging Support & Ordering FAQs →Are these cups truly 100% compostable?
Yes, they are. Our cups use a PLA lining made from corn starch instead of plastic. They are certified to break down in industrial composting facilities within 90 to 180 days, leaving no toxic residue.
Can I use these for both hot and cold drinks?
Yes, you can. The double-sealed seams and heat-resistant PLA lining make them suitable for hot drinks like tea or cold drinks like iced lattes. For very cold drinks or those with a lot of condensation, we suggest using our cold drink paper cups for the best results.
Will the custom ink run if the cup gets wet?
No, it won't. Our curing process bonds the soy-based inks to the paper, so even with condensation or small spills, your logo stays clear and won't stain hands or clothes.
Do I need to buy lids separately?
Our cups fit standard universal lids. We also offer matching compostable lids, so you can keep your beverage service plastic-free. Using the right lid helps prevent spills, especially when taking it out.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom printing?
We keep our minimum order quantities low to support small businesses. This helps boutique cafes and event planners get high-quality, branded packaging without needing much storage space.
How do I submit my artwork for the custom design?
Once you pick your cup size, upload your vector file (AI, PDF, or EPS) through our portal. Our design team reviews every file to make sure your logo looks great on the cup before we start production.
