The Cup Company
A cup printer’s shop where you build the cup on the page.
Designer disposable cups, printed in Australia. The hero is a configurator, not a photograph: pick a size, a pattern, a colourway, set one line of type, and the cup redraws as you go — buy the stock version or send the whole configuration off as a custom run.
Five stock patterns are listed the way a printer would spec them — inks, dot sizes, band widths on 230gsm cupstock — and the custom-run minimum of 1,000 cups per size is stated on the page rather than saved for the quote email.

What it does
The cup is built on the page
Size, pattern, colourway, and one line of up to 18 characters set in caps on the band — the cup preview and the price update as you go. Buy it as drawn, or send the exact configuration to the custom-print flow.

Patterns spec’d the way a printer reads them
Every stock design carries its press ledger — inks, rule weights, dot sizes, stock weight. Meridian’s fifty-four hairlines even own up to the glue seam every rolled cup has, and line up on it.

The custom-run minimum, said out loud
Artwork in, proof, press, delivery — four steps, with the 1,000-cups-per-size minimum printed on the page instead of held back for the quote email. The wrong-size customer finds out before they write to you.

An enquiry form that thinks in print runs
Name, café, size, and quantity offered in the increments a press actually runs — 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000 or more — with a plain line about what happens to the details. The enquiry arrives already shaped like a quote.
