Questions buyers ask

What is the minimum order?

Printed paper cups start at 1,000 cups a size. The order page shows the exact minimum the price engine sets for each size, and the price at your quantity.

Is the price on the site the real price?

Yes. Every figure comes from our factory price engine at the quantity you typed, and the same engine re-prices the order on the server before your card is charged. The site never calculates a price itself.

What do you need from me for the artwork?

A print-ready file at the blank size with 2 mm bleed, text converted to outlines, and at least 300 DPI for images. Download the 8 oz dieline from the artwork page and design on it. You see a proof on the cup before we run anything.

I have a logo but no finished artwork. Can you help?

Yes. Send the logo with your order notes, or on WhatsApp, and we lay it out on the blank and send you a proof to approve.

Do I approve something before you print?

Always. Nothing goes on the press until you have seen a digital proof of your artwork on the cup and said yes.

Which sizes do you make?

2.5 oz, 4 oz, 6.5 oz and 8 oz paper cups are made in house. 12 oz and 16 oz paper cups are outsourced to a partner factory. 8 oz and 12 oz PET cups are available for cold drinks. The 8 oz is the size we have measured to the millimetre and drawn to scale.

Single wall or double wall?

Our 4 oz, 6.5 oz and 8 oz paper cups are double wall: a plain liner with a printed sleeve around it, so the cup is cooler to hold. The 2.5 oz is a hand-pasted single wall cup.

Can I get samples first?

Yes. Tell us which sizes you are considering on the samples page and we send two of each. No account needed.

Do you deliver, and when?

We deliver across Oman. We do not publish a lead time, because it depends on the run and the press schedule: when you order we confirm the date with you before the job starts.

How do I pay?

By card, on the order page, through Paymob. The card form is drawn on this site and the details go to the bank, not to us. Trade accounts can apply to be invoiced on terms.

Who am I buying from?

Cups for Trade, Commercial Registration 1393567, registered in South Al Hayl, Al Seeb, Muscat. The cups are printed and formed on the BHD Printing & Designing machines in Al Seeb.

Are the cups certified for food contact?

There is no Gulf standard written specifically for paper cups; a cup is regulated as a food package under GSO 2231:2012, GSO 839:2021 and GSO 1863:2021, which Oman adopts as national standards. We do not publish a certificate we do not hold. Ask us for the material specification when you order and we will share what our supplier provides.
