Personalised cups in the UK start from £0.22 per cup at volume, with a minimum order of just 50 cups and a standard lead time of 10 working days from proof approval. Express production can deliver in as little as 48 hours, and free UK delivery is included on every order. This guide breaks down what you pay, how little you can order, and how fast you can have branded cups in hand.
How personalised cup pricing works
Price per cup falls as your quantity rises, which is the single biggest lever on cost. Because we mould and print in the UK ourselves, there are no separate artwork or setup fees added on top, and no importer margin sitting between the production line and you. Our guide on buying direct from a UK manufacturer explains why that keeps prices honest.
What moves the price
- Quantity: unit cost drops steadily with volume, reaching from £0.22 per cup on larger runs.
- Print method: single colour screen print is keenest on small runs, while full colour in-mould printing gives photographic results at scale with no colour surcharge.
- Cup size and format: a half pint, pint, two pint, wine or cocktail cup each carries its own base price.
Minimum order: 50 cups
The minimum order is 50 cups. That is low enough for a single party, a small wedding or a taproom trial, and there is no requirement to commit to thousands to get a personalised design. If you need several formats, for example wine cups and pint cups for a wedding, you can combine them to build a sensible order while keeping each type useful on the day.
Turnaround and lead times
Standard production runs 10 working days from the moment you approve your proof. If your date is tight, express production can turn an order around in as little as 48 hours. Either way, delivery within the UK is free. Full detail sits on our delivery page.
