Double wall cups have an outer layer that insulates the drink, so they are comfortable to hold without an extra sleeve. They are the preferred choice for coffee shops serving hot drinks to go.
Custom Printed Double Wall Cups
Why double wall cups
Double wall paper cups have a second paperboard wall wrapped around the inner cup, with a small air gap between them. That gap insulates the drink, so coffee, tea and hot chocolate stay hot for longer while the outside stays comfortable to hold. Because no extra sleeve is needed, cafes save on a second item at the counter and customers get a cleaner, more premium cup.
Sizes and lids
We print double wall cups in 4oz for espresso and samples, 8oz for flat whites and cortados, 10oz and 12oz for standard lattes and cappuccinos, and 16oz to 20oz for large takeaway drinks. Matching sip lids in white or black fit each rim size, and you can order lids, stirrers and carry trays with the same order to keep your counter setup consistent.
Printing and branding
The outer wall is printed all the way around, giving you a full 360-degree panel for your logo, colours, menu message, social handles or a seasonal design. Food-safe water-based inks are used, and matte or gloss outer papers are available. Many coffee shops run one core design all year and add limited seasonal cups for autumn, Christmas or summer promotions.
Ordering double wall cups
Send us your size, quantity and artwork, and we will return a price and a digital proof showing how the design wraps around the cup. Short runs suit new cafes and events, and wholesale pricing applies to larger, repeat orders. We keep your files on record so reordering the same cup is quick.
