Branded Festival Cups, Built for the UK Event Calendar

From boutique festivals to stadium tours, the brief is the same: branded cups that survive the weekend, carry the artwork cleanly, and arrive in time for bar-build. Drinksmate manufactures custom-printed plastic cups in the UK, pints, half-pints, two-pints and stackables, branded with full colour IML for photographic artwork or single colour screen print for cost-effective brand systems. Festival cups, stadium cups and personalised cups all run on the same UK production line.

Step 01

UK Manufactured Branded Cups

Every branded cup is moulded and printed at our Stockton-on-Tees factory. UK manufacturing keeps lead times tight, 10 working days standard, 25 working days on Eco Saver, and removes the import-delay risk that imported cup suppliers can't.

Step 02

Direct From the Factory

Order branded cups direct from the manufacturer. No reseller markup, no overseas broker fees, no shipping container delays. Manufacturer pricing from £0.33 per cup at 2,000 units on Eco Saver.

Step 03

Branded Cups That Generate Revenue

Festivals and stadiums use branded cups inside deposit-return schemes (typically £2-£3 per cup), as merchandise sold over the bar, or as souvenirs that fans take home. Each retained cup carries your brand into the next twelve months of use.

48-72hr Express Available

Late artwork sign-off? Last-minute lineup change? Branded cups can ship in 48-72 hours via our sister site Express Cups when production slots allow. Standard branded lead time is 10 working days from artwork sign-off.

Buying Through Resellers or Overseas Suppliers
What You Lose

Buying Through Resellers or Overseas Suppliers

Branded cups can be sourced through resellers and overseas suppliers, but the trade-offs add up. Longer lead times, less visibility of manufacturing quality control, freight and customs costs, and a markup chain that pushes up the unit price you pay for the cup.

  • Lead times of 6 to 12 weeks are common
  • Limited visibility of manufacturing quality
  • Overseas shipping and customs costs
  • Reseller and broker margins on top of cup price

Branded Reusable Cups That Replace Single-Use Plastic

A branded reusable cup at a UK festival or stadium replaces between 100 and 250 single-use disposables across its lifetime. The cup pays for itself in deposit-return revenue, the festival cuts its waste-disposal bill, and the cup carries the brand into the next twelve months of fan use.

Manufactured in Stockton-on-Tees using high-grade polypropylene, our festival cups and branded cups are built to survive 200+ commercial dishwasher cycles. UK manufacturing keeps the carbon footprint of the supply chain low compared with imported alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our reusable cups, printing processes, and delivery times.

Fifty cups across both single colour and full colour IML print. The 50 unit floor sits within reach of weddings, private events and small corporate launches; most festival, stadium and event runs we ship sit between 1,000 and 50,000 cups. Use the quote form for an exact MOQ on your specific cup and print combination.
Standard branded cups deliver in 10 working days from artwork sign-off. Eco Saver runs in 25 working days at our lowest unit price, most festivals order pre-season on Eco Saver to lock in the cheapest unit cost. Plain UKCA-marked stock dispatches in 5 working days. For sub-48-hour express turnarounds, our sister site Express Cups handles emergency runs.
Yes. Every Drinksmate festival pint cup, half-pint cup and two-pint cup carries UKCA and CE marks at the legal fill line, which is required for serving alcohol on licensed premises in Great Britain and the EU.
Pretty much anything. Full colour IML supports photographic artwork, gradients, multi-colour designs and complex logos with no per-colour upcharge. Single colour screen print is the cost-effective option for crisp single-colour wordmarks and crests. Send us your artwork and we'll review it against the cup's print area before quoting.
Yes. Once you submit your artwork, our in-house design team creates a free 3D digital proof showing exactly how the print will sit on the cup. No production starts until you sign off the proof, the printed cup matches the proof one-to-one.
Yes. Our branded reusable cups survive 200+ commercial dishwasher cycles at high temperature. The artwork is moulded into the cup wall via IML so the print never peels, scratches off or fades, even after a full festival season of wash-and-rotation.
Yes. Every cup is manufactured from food-grade polypropylene (PP) that is BPA-free and phthalate-free. Safe for serving alcohol, soft drinks, hot drinks and any beverage at festivals, stadiums, weddings, corporate events and hospitality venues.
Yes. Branded festival cups are available in pint to line, pint to brim, half-pint, two-pint, stackable and wine sizes. Most festival bars order a mix of pints and half-pints; high-volume bars add two-pints to halve the number of trips customers make to the bar during peak rush.
Yes. You can combine different cup sizes within a single branded order, pints, half-pints, two-pints and stackables, to suit your event, venue or bar service. The 50-cup minimum applies per cup variant, not across the whole order.
Yes. The combination of UKCA-marked legal fill line, shatterproof construction and 200+ commercial wash cycle durability is exactly what a deposit-return cup needs. Most UK festivals run £2-£3 deposits per branded cup; we can advise on cup spec and quantity for any scheme size.
