The Vital Role of Cardboard Cup Holders in the Food Industry

The drink holder is a quiet hero in many cafes, juice bars, and fast food restaurants. By offering a cardboard cup holder tray to your customer, you are enabling them to purchase more than one drink at a time. When a customer only has one drink on hand and they are not able to carry it back to their office, this will limit their ability to order for their entire office. However, if they have access to a sturdy drink carrier that will keep their drinks stable during transit, they will be encouraged to place an order for the whole office.

We offer different styles of coffee cup holder cardboard tailored to various customer needs. For example, our 2 cup cardboard drink carriers are great for quick coffee runs between friends. We also offer larger trays that can accommodate larger groups.

As a leading manufacturer of cardboard drink carriers, we use the correct size holes to hold standard size cups. If the hole in the tray is too large, there is a risk that the cup will fall over during transport. If the hole in the tray is too small, the cardboard will rip under the weight of the drink when it is added to the tray. Our cup holders cardboard prevent both of these issues and provide a secure grip at all times..

​Why Choose Bulk Cardboard Cup Holders?

Being a busy business means you’ll want to be ready for your busy period ahead of time. The best way to ensure that you never run out of a cardboard cup holder at your busiest times of the day is by buying them in bulk. We carry flat-pack cardboard holders bulk - these products take up minimal space in both your storage area and behind the counter.

When you purchase our cardboard cup holders directly from us as opposed to using a middleman for materials purposes, you will receive high-quality cardboard coffee cup holders at a pricing structure that allows you to maintain healthy margins, no matter what type of company you are running (i.e. independent coffee shops, catering businesses).

​Materials and Sustainability: Building a Better Carrier

The quality of the cardboard used to create a 2 cup holder cardboard is scientifically designed through the use of multiple kinds of paperboard for durability and environmentally friendly products.

​Moulded Pulp Fiber

We are an expert cardboard cup holders manufacturers.  Our cup holder trays are manufactured using moulded pulp. We recycle old newspapers and cardboard into a thick, fibrous mash and then pressed into shape. It will be very strong with an inherent "gripping" property that holds the cup securely in place. It is also 100% biodegradable and compostable.

​Corrugated Cardboard

The majority of the range of our cup holder trays is manufactured using cardboard cup holders with a handle; this material has a fluted inner layer, which provides excellent structural integrity and thermal insulation. Therefore, the trays will hold heavier and larger-sized beverages easily.

​Kraft Paperboard

If you like the look of clean, contemporary-looking cup holders, then our kraft paperboard holders will suit you; they will complement your personalized cardboard boxes wholesale perfectly, thus giving your business an appealing rustic and eco-friendly look.

​Creative Uses: Cardboard Cup Holder Crafts

The great thing about these items is that they're highly adaptable after finishing their main function as well. For instance, since all of our materials are non-toxic and chemical-free, many people repurpose them into crafts with a cardboard cup holder.

Many schools and homes use segmented trays to better organise various types of arts and crafts supplies like beads, buttons or crayons.

In addition to being nice for all sorts of arts and crafts with cardboard cup holders, they also present an opportunity to help teach children about recycling. For example, you could use them to make "seedling starters" for a garden or make fun decorations during a celebration.

When you purchase our cardboard cup holder crafts, you aren't just getting a tool for your business; you are providing a resource that can be used again and again to create something new before being recycled.

​Professional Printing Options for Your Brand

As with your custom paper cups and cardboard cupcake boxes, your cup carriers should also promote your brand. Although a plain brown carrier works, it does not provide you with an effective marketing opportunity as does a printed one. There are three standard ways of printing on cup carriers:

Flexographic

Printing is the most commonly used method of printing for large orders of cardboard cup holders. The flexibility of using multi-coloured printing plates enables the production of large quantities of cup holders quickly and at a low cost, making it suitable for printing one or two colour logos on the side of the tray.

Digital Printing

This printing quickly creates a high-quality design for a local festival or other seasonal marketing promotion without the cost of creating expensive printing plates. Digital printing offers flexibility in design and allows full colour prints.

Screen Printing

It is intended primarily for bold designs that require a solid colour. Requiring large quantities of cup holders to be produced, this type of printing will have excellent results on both white and kraft cardboard surfaces.

​Coatings and Add-ons for a Premium Experience

​If you would like your cardboard coffee cup holder to be even more useful and functional, we offer lots of finishing options:

​Moisture-Resistant Coatings

In the UK climate (or in the case of iced drinks that may “sweat” on the outside), cardboard can sometimes become weakened due to moisture. One option to help maintain the structural integrity of the cardboard is to apply a water-resistant barrier, which we have developed as an aqueous coating. As such, these coatings help to keep your cardboard cup holder structural until a customer reaches home.

​Functional Handles

Our cup holders with handles are a great option for people who want to carry their takeaway drinks easily. This allows customers to move their drinks as if they were carrying a small briefcase; therefore, freeing up the other hand for holding keys or a phone.

​Collapsible Designs

Due to the confined space in city cafes, our collapsible cardboard boxes and cup holders can be folded flat in just seconds. This means they take up less space and are quicker to set up when the cafe is busy.

  • Do you offer holders for more than four cups?

    Most of our trays are designed for 2 or 4 cups to maintain stability. For larger orders, we recommend using multiple cardboard cup holder tray units or our specialized cardboard boxes for sandwich and drink combos.
