Custom Printed Paper Cups in Riyadh: How Logo Printing Works
A custom printed paper cup in Riyadh carries your logo on the drink that leaves the counter. This guide is for cafés, restaurants, hotels, corporate offices and events in Riyadh. It follows the custom printing page: how a logo goes from artwork to delivery, how offset compares with flexo, and how to choose the size, the wall and the file.
Key takeaways
- Print a logo on single wall and double wall paper cups. Ripple wall cups are supplied plain, with no logo.
- Offset is full CMYK, for gradients, photo-quality and detailed logos. The minimum is confirmed for your product.
- Flexo is 1-4 spot colours, for solid colours, text and simple logos, and it is the cost-effective option.
- Choose the cup size before the artwork. Start with the sizes guide, then confirm the lid.
- Plain cups start from 1,000 pieces. For logo-printed cups the minimum depends on the cup, size and print method - confirm it in your quotation.
- Ask Royal Pack for the current lead time. It is confirmed in your quotation.
Why a branded cup matters in Riyadh
The cup stays with the drink after it leaves your counter. A readable logo is still there in a meeting, a hotel room or a takeaway bag. That is useful for:
- Cafés and coffee shops that want the same mark on every hot drink.
- Restaurants that send a drink out with a meal.
- Hotels serving coffee for rooms and meetings.
- Corporate offices that want a branded cup for staff and visitors.
- Events and catering where many people see the cup in one sitting.
If the logo is the reason for the order, start on the custom printing page. It is where Royal Pack sets out printing for paper cups and the other products that can carry a brand.
How logo printing works
Logo printing follows the five steps on the custom printing page, from the artwork you send through to delivery.
- Inquiry. Tell us the paper product, the size and the quantity, and share your logo or artwork.
- Design. Our team prepares a print-ready mockup. Design support is free with a printing order.
- Approval. You review the digital proof and can request revisions until you approve it.
- Production. The products are printed and quality-checked in our facility.
- Delivery. The order is packed and shipped to your location, with order tracking support.
Ask Royal Pack for the current lead time when you send the enquiry, and confirm it in your quotation.
Offset or flexo
The custom printing page describes two methods.
Offset uses full CMYK. It is the method for gradients, photo-quality images and detailed logos. The page lists precise colour matching for offset, and the minimum is confirmed for your product.
Flexo uses 1-4 spot colours. It is for solid colours, text and simple logos, and it is the cost-effective option. The page lists the flexo minimum as 1,000 pieces.
Read the table as what that page already says. For cups, the minimum order section below is the wording to use, and you confirm the figure in your quotation.
| Print method | Colours | Best for | Minimum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offset | Full CMYK | Gradients, photo-quality and detailed logos | Confirm for your product |
| Flexo | 1-4 spot colours | Solid colours, text and simple logos | 1,000 pieces |
Choosing a size and a cup colour
Size decides the print area, so settle it before the artwork is finished. The guide to paper cup sizes for cafés in Riyadh covers what 4, 8, 12 and 16 oz cups are commonly used for, and how the lid has to match the rim.
Ounce sizes are nominal. Confirm the exact cup, and the rim diameter for the lid, before you approve the proof.
For colour, keep the logo readable against the cup. Strong contrast between the mark and the cup colour is easier to see across a counter than a pale logo on a pale cup. Brand colours in the artwork can be matched with Pantone or CMYK, which is how the printing page describes colour. Ask our team which cup colours are in the current range before you lock the design to one of them.
Single wall, double wall or ripple wall
The wall changes the feel in the hand, and it decides whether a logo can be printed. The single wall vs double wall paper cups guide compares them for cafés in Riyadh.
- A single wall paper cup is one layer. It can be printed. A hot drink is often paired with a sleeve.
- A double wall paper cup has a second layer with an air gap. It can be printed, and the outside is smooth, so the logo sits on an even surface.
- A ripple wall paper cup has a textured outer layer. Ripple wall cups are supplied plain, with no logo printing. If the ripple texture is the look you want, do not plan artwork for that cup.
Design tips before the logo goes to print
These points follow the design support page.
- Keep the logo simple. A bold, simple mark prints more clearly than a very fine pattern.
- Keep strong contrast between the logo and the cup colour.
- Keep text and the main mark away from the seam, where the paper overlaps, and away from the rim and the base.
- Include a bleed area. The design support page asks for 3mm bleed on edges that extend to the rim or base.
- Send a vector file. Preferred formats on that page are AI, EPS and PDF. An SVG logo file is accepted in the cup designer. If you only have a raster file, PSD or TIFF is accepted at 300 DPI minimum.
- Use CMYK for offset. Use Pantone references for flexo.
- Convert text to outlines so the lettering does not change when the file is printed.
Minimum order
The custom printing page says orders start from 1,000 pieces. On that page, flexo is listed at 1,000 pieces and the offset minimum is confirmed for your product.
Plain cups start from 1,000 pieces. For logo-printed cups the minimum depends on the cup, size and print method - confirm it in your quotation.
Tell us the cup, the size, whether you want it plain or printed, and which method you have in mind. We confirm the minimum that applies. Ask Royal Pack for the current lead time in the same quotation.
