A cup too hot to hold
A single-wall cup of fresh coffee is uncomfortable without a sleeve.
What we doDouble-wall cups keep the outside comfortable to hold, with no sleeve to stock.
For cafés & bakeries
Your name on every cup and every box of pastries.
A café sells the same few things all day: a drink, a pastry, a loaf to take home. We make the cups, boxes and bags for them in the same kraft and the same print, with cups from 4–20 oz (118–591 ml).
- Cups single or double wall
- 4–20 oz (118–591 ml)
- Boxes and bags to match
- Min. 2,000 per size
A kraft cup, just poured
From the case to the counter.
A box sized to what you bake, so a dozen cookies or two croissants sit still on the way home.
The trouble with the box you have now
What goes wrong between the counter and the customer.
Small things, but a customer sees every one of them.
Pastries crushed in a bag
A croissant in a flat bag arrives flat.
What we doA box drawn to your pastries, or a gusseted bag that stands open.
Cups and boxes that do not match
Cups from one supplier, boxes from another, and neither carries your name.
What we doOne kraft look and one print across cups, boxes and bags.
Grease spots on the box
Butter pastry marks thin board.
What we doA water-based grease barrier on the food side of our boxes, and a grease-resistant liner in the bags.
Too little room behind the counter
Made-up boxes and loose cups take shelf you need for stock.
What we doCups nest by size and boxes arrive flat Under a supply agreement we also hold the rest of your stock in our warehouse.
Plastic where it does not need to be
Customers notice plastic windows and foam.
What we doKraft paper and board, with no PE film on the boxes.

Your name on it
Your name round the cup.
The artwork is printed on the side wall while it is still flat, so it wraps evenly round every cup.
- Flexo print in 1 to 4 colours, or plain cups you stamp or sticker yourself.
- The same artwork set on each cup size, and on your boxes and bags.
- You approve a proof before anything is printed.
- Colour on unbleached kraft varies a little from run to run. That is the material, and it is normal.
What it replaces
What our packaging takes the place of.
Most cafés and bakeries come to us from one of these.
Instead ofA white cup and a sleeve
Two things to stock and nothing with your name on it. A printed double-wall cup is one.
Instead ofA box with a plastic window
The window is the part that is not paper. Our boxes are board all the way through.
Instead ofA plain paper bag
It crushes what is in it. A box drawn to your pastries does not.
How an order runs
Sample, proof, production.
From your first email to cups on your shelf is usually four to six weeks. Most of that is production, which starts only when you have held a sample and signed off the proof.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Something not covered here? Ask in the form below and we answer within one working day.
Do I need double-wall cups for hot drinks?
Double wall keeps the outside comfortable to hold without a sleeve. Single-wall cups suit cold drinks, or hot drinks served with a sleeve.
Can the same design go on cups, boxes and bags?
Yes. We set your artwork on each piece and you approve every proof. Colour varies a little between materials, so check the samples side by side.
Can you size a box to our pastries?
Yes. Send what goes in it and how many. Our standard box is 7.1 × 7.1 × 2.8 in (180 × 180 × 70 mm); every other size is drawn to order.
What is the minimum order?
2,000 per size.
How long does it take?
About one working day for a quote, five working days for a sample, then 12 to 15 working days of production after you approve the proof. Transit is 1 to 5 business days.
How does payment work for a new account?
A new account starts with a 30% deposit on the agreed order and a supply agreement. We then hold your products in our warehouse, and each month you pay only for what you used.
