About Us
Over 16 years, we’ve grown from a gutsy start-up to a multinational success story. Now part of the renowned Huhtamaki group, we still maintain the same customer-focused approach that we started out with. That means getting your brand out there, one cup at a time.
We’re redefining what a paper cup company can be. Our mission is to make
custom cup printing easier, faster, and more flexible, powered by cutting-edge
technology, continuous innovation and an unrivalled focus on customer
service.
From small-batch orders for artisan ice cream to large-scale production for global coffee chains, we’re
built to support businesses of all sizes. And we’re proud to stand behind every part of our community,
from our production team in Ireland to our partners in Finland to our customers across the world.
We know the impact a printed paper cup can make. You know the value of
your brand. Together, we’ll turn every paper cup into a powerful brandmoment.
Whether you need 1,000 or 10 million, we deliver high-quality, responsibly produced custom cups, fast.
With turnaround times as quick as 15 days, you’ll never be left waiting for stock.
We’ve made the impossible possible. That means producing beautiful cups
that are either recyclable or compostable and genuinely sustainable.
We’ve solved the problems of long lead times, high-volume requirements and lengthy design processes
by leveraging the latest technology to support every size of business. That’s how we empower everyone
from independent cafes to global brands with fast, flexible, and responsible paper cup solutions.
