Custom Plastic Cups with Logo: The Smart Way to Brand Every Sip
Apr 29th 2026

Branded drinkware travels. A custom plastic cup with your logo gets carried through a crowd, set down on a table at a packed event, and picked up again and again — putting your name in front of people without any extra effort on your part. It's one of the most practical, cost-effective promotional items available, and at bulk pricing the economics are hard to argue with.
Why Custom Plastic Cups Work for Businesses and Events
Unlike a flyer that gets tossed or a pen that rolls under a desk, a cup gets used. It holds something people want — a cold drink, a cocktail, a smoothie — and your logo goes right along with it. That makes custom plastic cups with logos a natural fit for a wide range of scenarios: company events, trade show booths, restaurant service, school fundraisers, weddings, festivals, and sports games.
At DiscountMugs, pricing starts as low as $0.33 per cup when ordering in bulk — and with over 200 styles in the catalog, there's a match for almost every use case.
Styles Worth Knowing
Classic Stadium Cups
The workhorse of promotional drinkware. The 16 oz. Reusable Plastic Stadium Cups (SC16) are BPA-free, made from recyclable plastic, available in 25 colors, and can be ordered with one-color, two-color, or full-color logo printing. Pricing starts at $0.39/ea on large orders — built for high-volume events. Need more capacity? The 32 oz. Plastic Stadium Cups (SC32) offer the same durability in a bigger format, starting at $0.55/ea — well-suited for outdoor events, sporting venues, and anywhere guests want a generous pour.
Frosted Plastic Cups
For a more polished look, frosted cups add visual texture without adding significant cost. The 16 oz. Flex Frosted Plastic Stadium Cups (FF16) are made from flexible polypropylene, stackable, BPA-free, and available in 11 colors — starting at $0.64/ea. A strong choice for weddings, birthday parties, and any event where presentation matters.
Color-Changing Mood Cups
The 16 oz. Color Changing Mood Stadium Cups (SC16M) shift color when a cold liquid is added. Available in 5 color options and priced from $0.90/ea — a standout choice for festivals, bar promotions, and brand activations where you want a conversation starter in every guest's hand.
Cups with Lids and Straws
For on-the-go use or food service environments, the 16 oz. Plastic Stadium Cups with Lid and Straw (SC16L) are BPA-free, dishwasher safe, include a free second-side imprint, and come in 6 colors. Starting at $2.05/ea — a practical pick for cafes, juice bars, and catered events.
Full-Color Wrap Cups
For brands that want maximum visual impact, the 16 oz. Full Color Wrap Stadium Cups (SCF16) print photos, illustrations, or detailed brand artwork all the way around the cup. Made in the USA, starting at $0.64/ea with a minimum order of 500.
What to Consider When Ordering
- Quantity. The more you order, the lower the per-cup cost. Ordering 500 or more unlocks the best bulk pricing tiers.
- Size. Cups range from 2 oz. to 32 oz. across the catalog. A 12 oz. frosted cup works for a cocktail hour; a 32 oz. stadium cup suits an all-day outdoor event.
- Print method. One-color imprints are the most budget-friendly. Full-color printing handles logos with gradients or multiple colors. Full-color wrap is best for end-to-end brand coverage.
- Finish. Clear cups show off the beverage inside. Frosted cups have a softer, more premium feel. Solid colors can be matched to your brand palette.
