Custom Ripple Wall Paper Cups: A Great Choice for Hot Drinks
Our ripple wall paper cups have a unique corrugated outer layer, so you don’t need an extra sleeve. The three layers form an air pocket that keeps drinks hot and makes the cup easy to hold, even if your hands are sensitive.

Why Your Beverage Deserves a Textured Triple-Layer Design
When you use a regular cup for an Americano, the heat is noticeable right away. Most paper cups for hot drinks need a sleeve, but sleeves can slip or hide your branding. Our ripple design solves this problem. The vertical ridges keep your hand cooler by reducing contact, and the inside vacuum helps your drink stay hot.
The textured cup gives your brand a premium, hands-on feel that smooth cups lack. When customers carry your coffee, they get a sturdy, non-slip cup that feels high-quality and shows off your brand.
Superior Heat Retention Without the Burn
We tested these cups in busy cafes. Unlike thinner cups, they stay firm and don’t get soggy after twenty minutes. The ripple wall keeps the base strong, so every sip is enjoyable.
Engineered for Busy Baristas and Commuters
- No-Slip Grip: The corrugated texture helps you keep a firm hold, even if you’re wearing gloves or it’s damp outside.
- Tight Lid Fit: Precision-rolled rims help the lids seal tightly, so you don’t have to worry about spills on your clothes.
- Eco-Conscious Materials: We use food-grade paperboard from sustainable sources, with a moisture barrier that stands up to boiling temperatures.
Scaling Your Brand with Custom Logo Printing
A plain cup is a missed chance to show off your brand. We use soy-based inks that don’t smell when heated. Our high-definition printing keeps your logo sharp and professional, even on the textured surface. If you’re just starting out, you can compare these with our double wall paper cups to see which finish fits your brand best.
Versatility Across Industries
These cups are great for more than just coffee shops. They’re also used at corporate retreats, outdoor festivals, and weddings. If you like a minimalist or rustic look, our Kraft paper cups are just as strong and have a natural, unbleached style that eco-conscious customers value.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ripple Wall Cups
Here are answers to the questions business owners ask most often, so you can feel confident when making bulk purchases.
Read our Custom Packaging Support & Ordering FAQs →Do I need to buy sleeves for ripple wall cups?
No, you don’t need to buy sleeves. The ripple design acts as a built-in sleeve, and the outer layer keeps hands safe from heat. This helps you save on inventory and cuts down on waste with every drink.
Are these cups compatible with standard compostable lids?
Yes, our ripple cups have a strong rolled rim that fits most standard 80mm lids for 8 oz cups and 90mm lids for 12-20 oz cups. For the best fit, we suggest using our lids to get a perfect seal.
How does the texture affect the quality of my printed logo?
The surface is a bit bumpy, but our printing process is made for this texture. We suggest bold logos and clear text, since tiny details might not show up as well. Our design team will send you a digital proof so you can see how your logo will look before we print.
Can these be used for cold drinks as well?
These cups are made for hot drinks, but they also work well for cold drinks. The ripple wall keeps condensation from making the cup slippery. If you mostly serve iced drinks, our cold drink paper cups might be a better value.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom branding?
We work with both small shops and big chains. Custom orders usually start at 1,000 cups per size, but we can make just one cup if needed, though it will be much more expensive. We also offer big discounts if you order 10,000 or more.
Are these cups recyclable?
Most ripple cups have a thin plastic lining to stop leaks. The paper is high quality, but these cups should go to facilities that accept "poly-coated" paperboard. We’re always working on new coatings to make fully home-compostable cups in the future.
