Why Branded Single-Wall Paper Cups Matter for Everyday Service
We’ve supplied thousands of cups to coffee shops and festivals, so we understand what fast service needs. Single-wall cups are easy to grab and use 30% less storage space than double-wall cups.
At RushCustomBoxes (RCB), we design our cups for daily use. The rolled rim creates a tight, leak-proof seal with lids, and our strong paperboard stays firm with hot or cold drinks. We use thicker materials so our cups always feel sturdy.
Who These Cups Are Made For
Our printed single-wall paper cups are ideal for:
- Specialty Coffee Shops & Bakeries: For standard servings and "to-go" convenience.
- Event Organizers & Catering: High-volume branding for festivals and weddings.
- Corporate Branding: Office break rooms and trade show hospitality.
- Food Trucks & Street Vendors: Where storage space is at a premium.
- Product Sampling: Our 4-oz and 6-oz sizes are perfect for promotional tastings.
High-GSM Paperboard for Superior Rigidity
We use high-quality paperboard, usually between 230gsm and 320gsm depending on the cup size. This thicker material keeps the cup sturdy and your branding looking sharp.
Precision Printing & Food-Safe Inks
RCB uses offset and digital printing with water-based, food-safe inks. We test our prints with hot drinks to make sure your logo does not bleed or smudge, so your branding stands out.
Sustainable Lining Options
Our standard cups have a PE (polyethylene) lining for moisture resistance. We also offer PLA (plant-based) linings for brands that want 100% compostable certification.
Honest Heat Performance
Expert Tip: Single-wall cups offer little insulation for your hand. For drinks hotter than 85°C (185°F), we recommend using our custom paper sleeves to keep customers comfortable while still saving with single-wall cups. We focus on seam strength, since most cup failures happen at the seam. At RCB, our ultrasonic sealing process creates a bond that lasts for hours. We know these cups need to work well with lids and vending machine cups for smooth service.
Questions & Answers about Single Wall Paper Cups
Find quick answers to questions about sustainability, printing, heat insulation, and other features of our single-wall range.
Read our Custom Packaging Support & Ordering FAQs →Can single-wall cups handle boiling water?
These cups are safe for hot drinks, but the outside can get hot. We suggest using a sleeve for boiling teas or very hot Americanos.
Are your cups recyclable?
Our standard PE-lined cups can be recycled at facilities that accept poly-coated paperboard. If you need fully compostable cups, ask about our PLA-lined "Green" series.
What is the "GSM" and why does it matter?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. A higher GSM means a thicker, stronger cup. We use higher GSM than most, so our cups never feel flimsy.
Can I get a matte or glossy finish?
Yes, we offer matte finishes for a modern, natural look and gloss finishes to make colors stand out.
Will the ink change the taste of my drink?
No, the ink will not change the taste of your drink. We use food-safe inks that have no smell or taste, so your drink’s flavor stays the same.
