How to design custom printed paper cups?

Paper cups are a popular choice for coffee shops, bakeries, hotels and other businesses. Branded paper cups can help to increase their brand awareness and build customer loyalty. Custom printed cups can also be used to promote special events like trade shows, sports events or conferences. They are inexpensive and disposable, which makes them convenient for customers on the go. Paper cups can be branded with Logo or other design elements to help promote their business.

If you are interested in designing custom paper cups, there are a few things to keep in mind.

First, decide what size cup you need. Standard sizes are 8 oz or 200 ml (small), 12 oz or 300 ml (medium), and 16 oz or 400 ml (large).

Next, choose a cup type. You can opt for a single wall paper cup (best for water), which has print on a full surface or a double wall paper cup with thermal insulation (best for coffee or tea), which has a kind of unprinted white foot.

Then, choose a cup colour that will complement your design. Finally, think about the type of design you want. Simple designs with one or two colours usually work best on branded paper cups. But if you have a more complex design in mind, make sure to use high-quality printing methods so that your design comes out looking great.

Once you have decided on these details, download an appropriate template, and you can start designing your custom paper cups following all the instructions inside!

What to avoid when designing branded paper cups?

Any good marketing strategy of a coffee shop should include branded paper cups.

There are, however, a few things to avoid when designing custom printed paper cups.

First, resist the urge to go overboard with your branding. Too many logos or too many branded elements can make the cup look busy and cluttered.

Second, avoid using busy patterns or small text. Remember that people will be holding your paper cup, so you want your design to be simple and easy to read from a distance.

Third, do not wrap long text or logos around the cup because no one will turn it around to read it. When designing on a flat template, remember that just because the paper cup is round, only 1/3 of the template is visible at a glance.

Finally, remember not to use too much ink. You want your design to be eye-catching, but you do not want it to be smudged or illegible. It is especially important in single wall paper cups design when there is no second layer of premium glossy paper (as in double wall paper cups) which soaks inks much better and has no such problems.

By following these simple guidelines, you can create custom printed paper cups that will be both eye-catching and functional and, therefore, will help promote your brand.
