Make every cup count

For cafes, juice bars, food trucks and event caterers, branded packaging is one of the simplest ways to make a lasting impression. Single wall paper cups let you serve cold drinks — from iced coffee and soft drinks to juices and smoothies — in a cup that carries your brand wherever your customers go. They work just as well for parties and one-off events, adding a personalised touch that guests will notice.

Built for cold drinks

Made from 295 gsm single-walled paper with a water-based liquid barrier coating, these cups are plastic-free and food-safe. The water-based lining also means they're exempt from the Single-Use Plastics (SUP) directive. Choose from 6 sizes to suit everything from a small juice to a large iced drink, and pair them with 1 of 3 sip-thru lid styles — available separately.

Design and order with confidence

Uploading your logo or building a full-colour wraparound design is straightforward in Vistaprint's design studio. Use the 3D preview tool to check how your artwork sits on the curved surface before you order — especially useful for getting text just right. Reliable delivery means your single wall paper cups arrive when you need them, whether it's for a busy week of service or a one-off occasion.
Vistaprint offers Single-wall Paper Cups design templates in assorted styles.

Frequently asked questions

Our single-wall paper cups are exempt from the SUP directive because they don’t use traditional polyethylene coating — the coating used inside is water-based.

Our paper cups are made from home-compostable materials, as are our white paper lids. Our black and white plastic cup lids are recyclable, but are not compostable.

Our plastic-free cups have a water-based coating that serves as a liquid barrier.

Walls refer to the number of layers of paper used to create each cup. Our double-wall cups are made with 2 layers of paper, while our single-wall paper cups are made with just 1. For hot drinks, we highly recommend our white double-wall cups. The extra layer acts as a built-in sleeve, helping to keep the outside cooler and safe to touch. Our single-walled cups are recommended for use with cold drinks, or hot drinks if you provide a separate cup sleeve.

You can customise as much of the outside as you’d like. As part of the design process, you’ll upload the design of your choice, which will be wrapped around your cup. You can choose to add your logo, a full-colour design or a custom message. You can even create a custom design for non-business use — our paper cups are also a great way to add a personalised touch to birthday parties, hen parties and more.

Although the ink is food-safe, it is not vegan.

Printing on curved surfaces can be complicated, especially when it comes to text. That’s why our design studio lets you preview your design in 3D to make sure everything looks just right before it’s custom printed.

No, they’re not. For an extra cost, you can select from a variety of sip-thru disposable cup lid choices listed in our ‘Options’ section and add them to your order once you approve your cup design. You can also order matching disposable cup lids separately.

No, the disposable cup lids can’t be customised. However, we do offer a variety of disposable cup lid materials and colours for you to choose from. You can preview available sip-through disposable cup lid styles in the ‘Options’ section and add them to your order after you approve your cup design.
