When to Choose Paper

Paper vs Reusable

Choose Paper When:

  • Single-day events with no cup return
  • Pop-up activations and promotions
  • Budget-conscious large volume orders
  • Events where security is a concern
  • Sampling and tasting events

Choose Reusable When:

  • Multi-day festivals with deposit systems
  • Venues with washing facilities
  • Premium brand experiences
  • Sustainability is a priority
  • Merchandise and souvenir value

Printed paper cups for the events where single-use is the right call

Disposable festival cups, printed paper pint cups, single-use cups for a sampling day: this is the range for a one-day event with no cup return, a pop-up, or a promotion where the cup leaves with the customer. Pint (568ml / 20oz) and half pint (284ml / 10oz), full-colour wrap print, from 1,000 cups with a two to three week lead time.

Paper is not banned in Great Britain and neither are plastic cups as a category; our guide to the UK single-use plastic rules sets out what the regulations actually prohibit. For volume runs and trade orders, the wholesale page explains how quantities are quoted, and when the same event could run reusables instead, the hire service supplies them washed.
