Branded Cup Pricing & MOQ Guide
Branded cups are priced per unit and get cheaper with volume. Full-colour prices start at £1.42 each for a half-pint and £2.95 for a two-pint at 50 units, falling to £0.64 and £0.99 at 2,000. The minimum order is 50 cups, there is no separate setup fee, and headline pricing starts from £0.33 per cup. For quantities above 2,000, we quote directly.
No contact-us-for-pricing wall — here is the actual per-unit ladder, capped at 2,000 (larger runs are quoted individually). For the print options behind these numbers, see the complete buying guide.

What drives the price
- Quantity — the biggest lever, as the table shows.
- Size — half-pint through two-pint.
- Print — full-colour IML vs single-colour.
- Turnaround — standard vs 48–72hr express.
Minimum order and setup
The minimum is 50 cups, with no separate setup or origination fee — the unit price is the price. That keeps small events and first orders viable, while volume buyers get the sharper per-unit rates.
How to get the lowest price
Buy direct from the manufacturer (no reseller margin), order in volume, and choose single-colour if a full wrap is not essential. To weigh the spend against other promo options, see the branded cups vs promotional merch page.
