The wall is the first choice to make. It decides how hot the cup feels and how much it costs to print.
All three take the same artwork, so you can mix walls in one order.
Read more in our guide to single and double wall cups.
| Wall | Feel with a hot drink | Sleeve needed? | Print surface | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single wall | Hot to hold | Yes, for hot drinks | Smooth, full wrap | Water, juice, tasters, events |
| Double wall | Warm | No | Smooth, full wrap | Lattes, flat whites, takeaway coffee |
| Ripple wall | Cool to the touch | No | Ridged outer wall | Large hot drinks, busy coffee carts |
Paper cup sizes in ounces and millilitres
UK coffee shops sell by ounces, while recipes and machines work in millilitres. This chart lines the two up.
Fill lines sit a little below the rim, so allow room for milk foam and a lid.
| Size | Holds about | Typical drink |
|---|---|---|
| 4oz | 114ml | Espresso and tasters |
| 8oz | 227ml | Flat white, small latte, tea |
| 12oz | 341ml | Regular latte and cappuccino |
| 16oz | 455ml | Large latte, iced drinks |
| 20oz | 568ml | Extra large and smoothies |

What we print on paper cups
We print your logo, colours and short messages straight onto the cup wall. Artwork can run on one side, both sides or all the way round.
Full colour print suits photographs and gradients. Pantone spot colours keep a brand colour exact from one order to the next.
Not sure how your logo will sit on a curved cup? Try it on a real photo with our free cup mock-up tool before you send anything.
- Logo on one side or both sides
- Full wrap patterns and illustrations
- Pantone matching for brand colours
- Kraft brown or white cup base
- Printed lids sleeves and carriers to match
How to choose your cup size
Start with the drinks you sell most. A café selling flat whites and lattes usually needs 8oz and 12oz.
Add a 16oz cup if you sell large lattes or iced drinks. Keep 4oz for espresso, tasters and samples.
Each size takes its own artwork template, so the logo is placed correctly on every cup. Our paper cup size guide covers rim widths and lid matching.
- List the drinks on your menu
- Match each drink to a cup size
- Pick one wall type for hot drinks
- Add lids that fit those rim sizes
- Order the sizes together in one run
Board, coatings and recycling
Paper cups are made from food-grade paperboard with a thin lining that keeps liquid in. Food-contact board is available on request for every cup.
Kraft cups keep a natural brown look. White cups show bright colours more clearly.
Recycling rules for cups differ between councils in the UK. Ask us about recyclable linings when you request a quote, and see our eco paper cup range.
- White paperboard for bright print
- Kraft board for a natural finish
- Linings to suit hot or cold drinks
- Recyclable lining options on request

Get a free quoteHow much do printed paper cups cost?
Printed paper cups start from £0.25 per cup. The final price depends on size, wall type, print area and quantity, and it is confirmed in your custom quote.
Which cup sizes do you print?
We print from 2oz tasting cups to 20oz cups, including the popular 4oz, 8oz, 12oz and 16oz sizes. Other sizes can be quoted on request.
What is the difference between single and double wall cups?
A single wall cup has one layer of board and gets hot with a hot drink. A double wall cup adds a second layer, so it is comfortable to hold without a sleeve.
Do I need a sleeve with ripple wall cups?
No. The ridged outer wall of a ripple cup insulates the drink, so a sleeve is not needed.
Can you print on both sides of the cup?
Yes. We print on one side, two sides or as a full wrap around the cup.
Will you help with my design?
Yes. Design help is free, and a designer lays out your logo and sends a digital proof before anything prints.
How long does an order take?
Printing takes 4 to 6 working days after you approve the proof. Tracked delivery then takes 2 to 3 working days.
Do you deliver across the UK?
Yes. Delivery is free to every UK address and comes with tracking.
Are your cups suitable for food and drink?
Paper cups are made for drinks and food. Food-contact board is available on request, so mention it in your quote.
Do you make matching lids and sleeves?
Yes. We supply lids sized to each rim, printed sleeves and cup carriers to go with your cups.
What if my cups arrive misprinted or damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery with photos. We reprint or refund the affected cups.
Can I see my logo on a cup before ordering?
Yes. Use the Design Your Cups tool on any page to place your logo on a real cup photo, then send it for a free proof.
