Brand every serving
Every cup you hand to a customer is a chance to reinforce who you are and what makes your business special. Paper food cups transform every day sales into branded moments that make an impression. Picture your logo front and center as customers walk through a fair, post photos at social gatherings, or grab lunch from your food truck. Whether you're running a bustling coffee shop, catering an event or serving crowds at outdoor festivals, these cups give your branding the visibility it deserves.
Durable & reliable
Our paper portion cups are made of PE coated paperboard that are leak-resistant and food-safe. The coating creates a reliable barrier whether you're filling cups with frozen gelato or piping hot chili. At 210-230 gsm, the paper weight gives these cups enough structure to stay rigid when stacked and maintain their shape from kitchen to customer. And the glossy finish makes your custom design pop. Choose 8 oz. cups for classic ice cream portions, side dishes like potato salad, or breakfast items like yogurt parfaits. Step up to 12 oz. for sundaes with toppings, heartier soups, or rice bowls. Go with 16 oz. when you're serving complete meals – think pasta dishes, poke bowls, or substantial stews. Looking for lids? You can purchase them separately before checking out.
