Customised Takeaway Coffee Cups
Customised Takeaway Coffee Cups: The Practical Guide for Busy Cafes
You’re on the hunt for customised takeaway coffee cups because you need packaging that’s quick to serve, easy on the wallet, and doesn’t scream “cheap plastic.” You’re also keen to figure out how to order the right sizes, quantities, and print options without overcommitting or blowing your waste budget. Let’s break it down.
The sizes that actually move
Most cafes find themselves stuck between two choices: the 8oz cup for short blacks and macchiatos, or the 12oz for those larger lattes and flat whites. If you’re serving espresso shots in takeaway cups, the 8oz is your go-to. It’s lightweight, fits the standard saucer, and keeps costs manageable. The 12oz is where you play the volume game—bigger coffees mean bigger margins, but you’ll be going through stock at a faster pace.
Then there’s the 6oz cup, often the forgotten middle child. It’s ideal for short black takeaways, sample cups, or even kids’ hot chocolates. If you’re running a loyalty program with mini coffees, this size keeps your branding consistent without the hassle of stocking a third size.
Carton maths that won’t break the back
A carton of 500 cups is the sweet spot for smaller cafes. It’s enough to get you through a busy week without hogging shelf space, and the per-unit cost drops when you’re not scrambling for emergency stock. If you’re pulling 200–300 coffees a day, a carton of 1000 cups is the bulk move—cheaper per cup and one less thing to worry about reordering.
A common mistake? Ordering 1000 cups when you’ve only got room for 500. That’s how you end up with a stockroom full of unused cartons and cash tied up in inventory. Start with the smaller carton, keep an eye on your usage for a fortnight, then scale up as needed.
What to look for in print quality
Aqueous coating is the budget-friendly standard—it’s smooth to the touch, prints crisply, and won’t flake off in the dishwasher. Kraft cups with a lined interior are the eco-friendly option: they look rustic, handle heat well, and still meet compostability standards when the lining is removed.
Art print means full-wrap branding—your logo, a seasonal design, or even a simple stripe. Single wall is lighter and cheaper; double wall adds insulation for those hotter drinks but comes at a higher cost. Match the cup to your drink temps: single wall for quick service, double wall for those slow mornings.

If you’re in a hurry, the 8oz double wall and 12oz kraft lined cups are the fastest movers—both are kept in regional hubs, so transit times are short. The 6oz single wall is the slowest to restock, so make sure to order it early if you’re planning a promotion.
