Last month we reported on the tenth birthday celebrations of our new print trade supplier, www.printedcupcompany.co.uk  and decided to invest in a sample run to entice our cafe customers to brand their own products.
1000 12oz double wall paper cups are £146.40 plus origination, lids and vat. Add just 99pence for carbon offsetting.
This is the paper cup we are branding at these prices + vat

12 oz. double wall paper cups
1000 £195
Origination - plate making etc. £75
Plus artwork if not supplied est. £40
1000 x 90 mm white sip lids £35

Example first order 1000 £195 + £115 + £35 = £345
Repeat orders 1000 = £230 i.e. 23pence each

Wake up and smell the profit of over £50 per order plus artwork.

These cups are great for Pick n Mix or even ice cream too. So send out your sales person with the sweetest tooth, or even better, do this call yourself. The research is leading into some more profit in print opportunities with an idea from a customer to subsidise the cost of the cups to the coffee shops by selling advertising on them. You could be designing a retro collectable, remember advertising on milk bottles?
