Custom Printed Cups for Festivals and Sports Events

Wholesale Print runs from 10,000 to 100,000+ cups. It's flexo printing in 1 to 5 Pantone spot colours on a white cup, matched to the codes you supply. You can order up to 64,000 on the wholesale cup product page, and we quote runs of 100,000 or more: see bulk orders.

One lid for most sizes. On Wholesale Print, 8oz cups also come with a 90 mm rim, so 8oz to 24oz cups can all share one 90 mm lid. That's one lid to count and stock across every bar and coffee point.

Smaller events, or a single bar or sponsor area inside a bigger one, can start at 250 cups per size with Simple Print or Full Colour Print, ordered online with instant pricing.

At the large end, we supplied a2 Milk with about 222,000 printed cups for the Australian Open 2026, sent on 18 December 2025, plus a 36,000-cup top-up made in 5 business days. The cups were home compostable, certified to AS5810. The a2 Milk case study has the details.

• SA: since 1 September 2024, PE-lined cups and plastic lids are banned unless they're certified compostable to AS4736 or AS5810. Since 1 March 2026, those cups and lids must also be marked home or industrially compostable (Replace the Waste SA).
• WA: since 1 March 2024, plastic-lined cups and plastic lids are banned unless the cup is certified compostable paperboard, and lids must be plastic-free fibre (WA Government, Plan for Plastics).

We don't supply PE-lined cups or plastic lids into SA or WA. For SA orders we add the required home or industrially compostable marking to your cup artwork. For WA, ask us about lids before you order: WA allows only uncoated all-fibre lids. Ice cream cups for SA and WA are supplied compostable: AS4736 by default, or AS5810 on request.

Compostable doesn't mean the green bin. Since July 2026, WA FOGO bins take no compostable packaging, so compostable cups go in general waste there, and NSW FOGO bins take no compostable cups either. Plan your bins with your waste contractor, and see our cup rules by state.

Work back from the event date. For example, Wholesale Print cups for an event in Adelaide: 30 business days of production plus up to 3 business days of delivery is 33 business days, before any margin you add for unpacking and setup. Have your artwork and Pantone codes ready before then, because production can't start until you approve the proof.

Business days don't include weekends or public holidays. This year we're closed from Friday 18 December to Friday 8 January (see Christmas trading), so a summer event needs its cups ordered well before mid-December.
