Custom paper cups and plush for a US bubble-tea promo
Food-grade printed cups, lids and campaign plush — sampled, photographed and shipped for a chain launch.
The problem
A US bubble-tea chain needed custom printed paper cups (12–16 oz, food-grade PE lining, matching dome lids) plus promo plush for a campaign. Typical China packaging pitfalls applied: print color off the brand, lids that leak on cold drinks, cups softening, MOQ too high for a seasonal run, and no one to shoot pack shots once production finished. They also needed the plush and the cups to land together.
What we did
We ran a packaging RFQ against food-contact paper cup factories and a plush workshop. Samples covered print registration, lid fit, and a leak test on iced drinks. After the client signed, production ran, then our design team photographed the finished cups and plush so the chain had campaign images before the freight arrived. Bulk cups were inspected on site for forming, coating and print; plush for stuffing and stitching. One shipment.
Result
The promo stock arrived in time. Cups, lids and plush matched the sample. The client’s event ran as planned, with photos they could actually use.
