Custom Disposable Cups- The Positives

• Highly Customisable – Tanduay’s customized plastic cups are branded appropriately to represent the brand. Since it is a generously sized cup, the prints are more visible compared to printing the logos on smaller cups. Also, Tanduay’s cups are sturdier than your average plastic cups. Furthermore, this could be a good replacement cup for drinking games such as beer pong. If you’re looking to see more impressive plastic cups, please check out the link below.

• Affordable – The marketing budget is paramount to every brand’s success. Luckily, these custom disposable cups are so cost-effective. Plastic, which is the primary material of this custom promotional giveaway, is not hard to source which translates to lower production costs. As a matter of fact, our team has a lot of experience when it comes to creating such products.

• Useful But Find A Better Alternative – Instead of using a disposable plastic cup, it would be more eco-friendly to use cups that can be reused over and over again. Reusable marketing gifts help brands gain tremendous exposure in the long run. As observed, when brands give away items that are practical and useful, customers appreciate them more. Bottom line, it doesn’t matter if the gift is expensive or not, for as long as it is functional and beautiful then, people would really love it.

The Downside:

Single-use plastic is definitely bad for the environment. While custom disposable cups are cost-efficient, we can’t deny the the long-term negative impact of non-biodegradable products to our planet.

More and more people are pushing to scrap single-use plastics in the market and advocate to use better alternatives. To give you a little bit of idea about this growing plastic pollution, just imagine that about one trillion single-use plastic bags are used annually across the globe which means the world uses 2 million plastic bags every minute. That’s outrageous!

Now, as an organisation that supports sustainable products, we offer you several alternatives for these custom disposable cups.

Eco-Friendly Alternatives to Custom Disposable Cups
