Custom paper cups are a brand asset — and a manufacturing programme. Treat them like packaging production, not a quick sticker job.
MOQ reality (Packmold)
Custom print typically starts at 10,000 pieces. That threshold exists because plate/setup, colour control, and waste allocation only make sense at programme volume.
Artwork that ships clean
- Vector files (AI / PDF / EPS) with fonts outlined or supplied
- Pantone or CMYK intent stated up front
- Safe margins away from rim roll and seam
- One master file per size if dielines differ
Proof before ink
Digital proofs are standard. Physical proofs are worth it for multi-city launches or strict brand guardians. Build proof cycles into your launch calendar — not the week of go-live.
