SMALL RUNS

Small runs from 250 cups

Simple Print starts at 250 cups per size, on every cup size. Full Colour Print starts at 250 cups on 8oz, 12oz and 16oz. You order online and see your price as you choose the size and quantity.

Each design is its own print run with its own minimum, so one design for the whole day keeps you to one minimum per size. If you'd like to use leftover cups after the day, leave the date off the design.

How many to order.

Count the drinks you expect to serve in a cup, rather than the number of guests, then add some spare for spills and staff drinks. That's a rule of thumb, not a measured figure.

DESIGN

Full Colour Print for designs and illustrations

Full Colour Print covers the whole cup edge to edge in full CMYK with a semi-gloss finish, so a monogram, a pattern, a watercolour or an illustration can run right around the cup. It comes on 6oz to 16oz cups.

Simple Print puts your design on a white cup in CMYK with a matte finish. It's our budget option, and colours can look slightly faded.

Logo placement and design help are free. We send a digital proof within 4 business hours. Every coffee cup order also gets a 3D proof. You can ask for as many changes as you need until you approve it.

WHITE CUP

Every design prints on a white cup

There's no white or metallic ink. Every design prints on a white cup, and white areas of your design are the cup itself. That means gold or silver can't print as metallic, and white lettering on a coloured background shows as bare cup.

Screens show RGB, so printed colour differs a little from what you see on a monitor. Pantone colour matching is only available on Wholesale Print, which starts at 10,000 cups. Full Colour Print cups come with a PE or compostable (AS4736) lining. For file setup, see our artwork guide.

TO MATCH

Napkins and coasters to match

We also print napkins and coasters, so your design can carry from the coffee cart to the tables. Design help is free, so we can help fit your design to each product. Everything we print is made in Australia.

TIMELINE

When to order

  1. Tell us your date

    If your cups need to arrive by a set date, tell us before you order.

  2. Approve your proof

    Approve before 2:30pm (Melbourne time) and production starts the next business day; after 2:30pm, the business day after that.

  3. Production

    Standard production is 10 business days, with rush from 2 business days at extra cost.

  4. Delivery

    Typically 1–2 business days to VIC, NSW and the ACT, and up to 6 to TAS and the NT.

Allow time for the artwork too. It's the step that varies most, because it depends on how many people need to sign off the design, and once you approve the proof the design can't be changed.

We send by TNT or FedEx with a tracking link. Delivery to QLD and SA typically takes 2–3 business days and WA 3–4, and regional areas can take longer. There's no pickup, so send the cups to an address where someone can receive them. 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).
