Custom large takeaway cups are the highest brand-visibility format in the paper cup category. A 16oz or 20oz cup is held in hand, carried through a venue, carried down a street, and placed on a desk or meeting room table — where it remains visible for the duration of the drink. At this size, the branded outer wall is a significant piece of real estate that communicates the venue or brand identity to everyone in the vicinity of the person drinking.
For café operators running morning commuter programs, for event catering brands serving large audiences, and for hospitality venues where a branded cup in a customer's hand is as much a marketing asset as it is a service item, the large format cup has the highest per-unit brand impact in the cup range.
Double-wall or corrugated construction is standard at this size — the larger volume of hot liquid transfers more heat to the hand, and a double-wall construction provides the necessary insulation for comfortable handling without requiring a separate sleeve. For cold drinks and iced coffee programs, single-wall construction is sufficient and the print surface is fully accessible for detailed branding.
Large format cups also work for cold brew, smoothies, shakes, and bubble tea programs — making this size a practical addition for venues with diverse menus beyond standard espresso service.
Custom Large Takeaway Cup can be customized based on your brief, including branding methods such as Full-colour flexographic print on outer wall, packaging options such as Sleeved; carton of 500 or 1,000. This gives businesses the flexibility to match the product to their brand style, campaign needs, or customer use case.
