Custom Printed Coffee Cups in South Australia

Orders ship from Victoria by TNT or FedEx and typically reach South Australia 2–3 business days after they leave us. Regional areas can take longer. Delivery cost is worked out at checkout for your address and order. We don't offer pickup.

Adelaide is half an hour behind Melbourne all year, so our 2:30pm cut-off is 2pm in SA. Approve your proof before then and production starts the next business day.

Each product page shows an estimated delivery date before you add to cart. It's an estimate, not a guaranteed date. If you need cups by a set date, tell us before you order. For rushed jobs we recommend overnight express freight.

We're closed from Friday 18 December 2026 to Friday 8 January 2027, and production times don't count the closedown. See Christmas trading.

Since 1 September 2024, South Australia has banned:

• single-use hot drink cups of any material, including paper, lined with a waterproofing polymer such as PE
• plastic lids for hot drink cups
• plastic lids and films for cold drink cups

Cups and lids certified to the Australian compostable standards, AS4736 or AS5810, are exempt, and lids made without plastic aren't banned (SA guide to the ban).

Since 1 March 2026, every certified compostable cup and lid supplied in SA must be clearly marked as home compostable, industrially compostable, or both. AS4736 items can say commercially compostable instead. The marking must be on each cup and lid, not just the carton. Cups under 60 mL and lids under 70 mm across don't need it, but must still be certified (SA labelling guide).

For SA orders, we add the marking to your cup artwork: industrially compostable for AS4736 cups, or home compostable for AS5810 cups. You don't need to add it yourself.

We don't supply PE-lined cups or plastic lids into South Australia. For SA orders you can choose:

• Compostable cups (AS4736): a PLA lining, in every print type. This is the default.
• Home compostable cups (AS5810): an aqueous lining, on request with Simple Print and Wholesale Print.
• Ice cream cups: 2oz to 11oz, also compostable for SA, AS4736 by default or AS5810 on request. They're supplied without lids.
• Lids: pulp lids, certified to AS4736 and AS5810, in 80 mm and 90 mm, or PLA lids certified to AS4736. No PS lids.

Compostable linings cost more than PE.

Green Industries SA says certified compostable cups can go in your green organics bin if your council offers a kerbside green bin that takes food and garden organics. Otherwise, they go in the red (or blue) lid bin to landfill, along with PE-lined cups (Which Bin SA). Products marked with the AS5810 home composting logo meet the standard for home composting and can also go in the green bin (Green Industries SA). Some regional councils don't collect food in the green bin, so check yours.

For events and venues, Green Industries SA's 2026 guidelines say certified compostable serviceware can go straight to the organics bin for commercial composting (events and venues guidelines).
