Low minimums, a free digital proof, and a roughly 2 to 3 week turnaround.

About eco-friendly & compostable cups, printed in full color

If your brand says it cares about the planet, the cup in your customer's hand should say it too. Eco-friendly disposable cups let you serve fast and clean up easy without leaving a stack of plastic behind. We carry compostable cold cups made from plant-based PLA, hot cups lined for coffee and tea, and recycled-content paper cups, all printed edge to edge with your logo, colors, and message.

Compostable clear cold cups are made from PLA, a plastic-like material derived from plants rather than petroleum. They look crisp and clear for iced coffee, smoothies, cold brew, and juice, and they hold up like a standard cold cup. Pair them with compostable cold lids and the whole drink walks out the door as one compostable package. Your full-color print wraps the outside so the cup works as both a serving vessel and a sign for your brand.

For hot drinks, our recycled-content paper hot cups and compostable coffee lids handle the heat while keeping the eco story intact. Single-wall for a quick pour, double-wall when you want a comfortable grip without a separate sleeve, and cup sleeves available when you do. Every cup is printed in full color with food-safe inks on the outer surface, so your design stays sharp from the first sip to the last.

Ordering is simple. Send us your art or a rough idea and our team helps you set it up at no charge, then we send a free digital proof before anything prints. Minimums stay low so a coffee shop, food truck, brewery taproom, caterer, or office can order a sustainable cup that actually fits their volume. Most orders ship in about 2 to 3 weeks.

FAQ

Eco-Friendly & Compostable Cups, Printed in Full Color — questions

Compostable cups are designed to break down fully into non-toxic material within a set time in a composting environment, usually a commercial facility, while biodegradable is a broader term that just means a material will eventually break down by natural processes without a defined timeline or standard. In short, all compostable cups are biodegradable, but not everything labeled biodegradable meets the stricter compostable standard. Our compostable cups are made from plant-based PLA or recycled-content paper so they have a clear end-of-life path rather than sitting in a landfill.
Most PLA compostable cups, including the clear cold cups we carry, are designed for commercial composting facilities that reach the higher temperatures needed to fully break them down. They will not break down quickly in a backyard compost pile. If your customers have access to commercial composting or your venue collects compostables, these cups have a real end-of-life path. We are happy to walk you through which option fits your setup.
Yes. Every compostable and biodegradable cup we offer can be printed in full color with food-safe inks on the outer surface, including your logo, brand colors, and any message you want. PLA clear cold cups and recycled-content paper hot cups both take a sharp, vivid print, so going sustainable does not mean giving up branding.
Yes. We offer compostable cold lids for the PLA clear cups and compostable coffee lids for the hot cups, so you can serve a fully compostable drink rather than pairing an eco cup with a plastic lid. Ordering cups and lids together keeps the whole serve consistent and easy for your customers to dispose of correctly.
Minimums stay low so smaller shops, food trucks, taprooms, and offices can order custom compostable cups without committing to a huge run. Send us your details and we will give you the exact minimum and per-cup pricing for the style you want. You also get free art help and a free digital proof before we print.
Most custom compostable and biodegradable cup orders ship in about 2 to 3 weeks from proof approval. We send a free digital proof first so you can confirm the art, colors, and layout before production starts. If you are working toward an event or a launch date, tell us and we will let you know what is realistic.
