Everything you need to know before ordering

Printed coffee cups are a smart way to make your brand stand out—in the hospitality industry, at events, or on the go. One of the most frequently asked questions is: how much does it actually cost to have coffee cups printed?
The short answer: the price depends on several factors. We'll explain everything clearly below, so you know exactly what to expect.


1. Circulation: how many pieces do you need?

Circulation is the biggest factor in the total price.
The more you order, the lower the price per cup becomes.

  • Small print runs → higher unit price

  • Large print runs → cheaper per piece

For start-ups or coffee shops testing the waters, a small print run is perfect. For fixed locations, a large print run is more logical and less expensive.


2. Size: from 4 oz to 16 oz

The size of the coffee cup directly influences the material choice and the printing price. The larger the cup, the more cardboard and ink are needed—and that's reflected in the unit price.

At Cuppix we work with the most commonly used sizes in the hospitality industry:

  • 4 oz – 100 ml (espresso)

  • 6 oz – 150 ml (small coffee/cappuccino)

  • 7.5 oz – 180 ml (coffee / tea to go)

  • 8 oz – 240 ml (regular coffee)

  • 12 oz – 360 ml (large coffee/latte)

  • 16 oz – 480 ml (extra large / smoothies)

Smaller cups are more economical per piece, while larger sizes cost a little more due to the extra material and volume.


3. Cup type: single, double or ripple wall

The model you choose also determines the price:

  • Single wall: affordable, suitable for cold or hot drinks with sleeves

  • Double wall: extra strong and heat-resistant

  • Ripple wall: premium appearance, best heat insulation

The higher the quality of the insulation, the higher the production costs.


4. Design & printing

Simple logo or full-print design?
That difference makes the price influencable.

At Cuppix it works simply:
Whether you have your own design or not, you will always receive a free 3D proof to preview the final result.


5. Price indications: how is the unit price determined?

Exact prices vary per project, as each design and quantity is unique. The final unit price is determined by:

  • the size of the cup (4 oz to 16 oz)

  • the selected edition

  • the type of cup (single wall, double wall or ripple wall)

  • the design and finishing

  • the desired delivery time

6. Delivery time & rush options

Normal delivery is cheaper.
If you need an emergency, it can be done faster, but that will slightly affect the cost.

Cuppix can also store your stock and deliver it in installments if desired — handy if you have limited storage space.


Conclusion: what does it cost?

The price of printed coffee cups depends on the quantity, size, printing, and type of cup. But one thing is certain: a professionally printed cup strengthens your brand with every sip.
