Designed, printed, and delivered in-house, with a proof to approve before anything is made.
The custom plastic cups you order depend on one question: does the guest keep the cup, or toss it after a single pour? A reusable stadium cup a guest carries home keeps your logo in view for months, and a clear disposable handed out by the hundred does its one job and goes in the bin. You don't need to learn cup types to get this right. Tell us what the event is and a real member of our team helps you pick the cup that fits. Contact us with the details, or start with the range below.
Whether guests keep the cup or toss it picks the type you order
A reusable stadium cup has a hard wall that comes through repeated washing, so it stays in the rotation and your logo gets seen again at the office, at socials, and on site for months. A single-use cup has a thin, low-cost wall that only makes sense in big volume, filled once and binned.
Custom stadium cups turn up at conference and client-day bars, staff-appreciation days, site-opening receptions, and company socials. The guest holding one becomes a walking sign for your brand, showing your logo again and again long after the last pour.
Size tracks the drink and the setting. A 16 oz cup suits soft drinks and coffee, and the pours get bigger from there for beer, mixed drinks, and tailgates. The exact bands sit on each product page.
Not every event wants a cup people keep. For a one-pour, walk-through reception where cups hit the bin in minutes, a clear disposable is genuinely the better call, and the money you save goes into ordering more of them. When the cheaper cup is the right one, we'll say so.
| Cup type | Kept or tossed? | Best for | Common size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reusable stadium cup (polypropylene) | Kept, re-seen for months | Conference bars, company socials, site-opening receptions, booth bars | 16 / 20-22 oz |
| Double-wall tumbler (lid and straw) | Kept as a gift | Client-day and closing gifts | 16-24 oz |
| Frosted flexible ("flex") cup | Kept short-term, goodie-bag | Low-cost giveaways that travel in a bag | 16-24 oz |
| Clear rigid disposable (PET) | Tossed after one pour | High-volume single-pour: receptions, staff and patient-hydration days | 16 / 24 oz+ |
When the cup is a client-day or closing gift rather than one for the bar, the pick changes. A double wall tumbler with a lid and straw feels like a gift someone keeps.
How the logo goes on decides whether it survives the wash
Simply, screen print is the workhorse for plastic cups, because it lays a solid logo that holds through handling, washing, and refills. A hard, smooth wall keeps that print looking right, while a soft or frosted wall bends under it, so the logo wears sooner.
Most plastic cups with logo go on in one or two solid colors, which keeps the cost down and the print clean. Each extra color adds a stencil and a little to the cost. Your logo can wrap around the cup or sit on one side. A full-color or photographic logo moves to a full-color print instead, at a different cost.
Plastic cups sit in our wider drinkware range, and whichever color route fits your logo, we'll confirm it on a proof before the full run.
Nothing is printed until you approve the proof
Bulk pad-print pricing scales with cup volume, so stadium runs cost less per unit than engraved drinkware. That's the tradeoff: a named account manager reviews your digital proof before anything prints, minimums stay friendly (as low as 1 unit, varies by cup), and we make it right if something's off.
Still deciding? Reusable cups take a wraparound print that survives repeat use, single-use cups are built for one event and priced to match. Send your logo and event date, and we'll size the run and confirm decoration and timing together.
Order reusable stadium cups when guests keep the cup, and single-use disposable cups when the event is one high-volume pour. A kept cup re-shows your logo for months; a disposable wins on price.
Custom plastic cups are used for staff-appreciation days, conferences and client days, site-opening receptions, trade-show bars, and company socials. A branded cup keeps your logo in view at the event and long after guests take it home. Personalized plastic cups can add a name, date, or event line beside your logo; see more in cups and glassware.
Size follows the drink and the setting. 16 oz suits soft drinks and coffee, 20 to 22 oz suits beer and mixed drinks at events, and 24 oz and up suits value pours and tailgates. The exact sizes are on each product page.
Yes, most logos go on. Each solid color adds a stencil, so a one or two color logo is the most economical, and a full-color design uses a full-color method instead. A digital proof shows how your logo sits before anything is made.
Minimums are as low as a single unit, though some cups are higher. The exact minimum is on each product page, so a small pilot order is fine.
