If your festival, stadium, or bar sells alcohol by volume - such as pints, half-pints, or measured wine servings - UK law strictly requires that your cups carry the UKCA mark. This mark confirms the cup has been independently tested and verified for accurate capacity.
The UKCA (UK Conformity Assessment) mark is mandatory for reusable drinkware used in licensed premises across England, Scotland, and Wales. Serving alcohol in non-certified cups can breach both the Weights & Measures Act 1985 and the Licensing Act 2003.
Because Drinksmate owns the manufacturing process, we build this compliance directly into our moulds. When you order from us, you guarantee fair trading for your customers and zero legal risk for your venue.
Before Brexit, reusable cups in the UK carried the CE mark, which was recognised across the EU. However, since January 2023, the UKCA mark is now the required legal standard in Great Britain.
Both markings verify measurement accuracy, but if you are serving alcohol within England, Scotland, or Wales, UKCA is the law.
Importing cheap, unverified cups from overseas puts your entire operation at risk. Non-compliance with the Weights & Measures Act can lead to severe penalties, including:
Drinksmate is accredited to apply UKCA markings directly onto our cups during the injection moulding and printing phases. By purchasing factory-direct, you eliminate the risk of counterfeit certifications.
Protect your business, appease local licensing authorities, and guarantee a perfect pint for your customers. Contact us today to upgrade to certified reusable cups.
