Products

What products do you supply?

We supply wholesale packaging and hospitality consumables to UK businesses — coffee cups, lids and sleeves, takeaway packaging, paper bags, custom branded packaging, and more. If you need something specific, contact us and we'll advise on what's available.

What sizes of coffee cups do you supply?

We supply disposable coffee cups in standard sizes: 8oz, 12oz, and 16oz. Both single-wall and double-wall options are available. Lids and sleeves are also available to complement your order.

Do you supply paper bags for bakeries and cafés?

Yes. We supply wholesale paper bags for UK cafés, bakeries, delis and retail businesses. Options include natural kraft bags, white paper bags, flat-bottom bags, and twisted handle bags. Custom printed bags with your logo are also available.

What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale packaging?

Minimum order quantities vary by product and are confirmed on request. Plain stock items can often be ordered in smaller quantities than custom printed products. Contact us with your requirements and we'll confirm what's achievable.

Custom Branding

Do you supply custom printed coffee cups?

Yes. We source custom printed coffee cups for UK businesses — single and double wall, in standard sizes. Minimum order quantities are confirmed on request. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

What is the minimum order for custom branded packaging?

Minimum order quantities vary by product and are confirmed on request. Contact us with your requirements and we'll advise on what's achievable for your product and budget.

Do I need print-ready artwork for custom packaging?

It helps if you have a logo file in a standard format (AI, EPS, PDF, or high-res PNG). If your artwork needs adjusting, we can advise on what's needed before production begins.

How long does custom packaging take from order to delivery?

Production and shipping timelines vary by product. As a general guide, allow several weeks from order confirmation to delivery. We'll give you a realistic timeline when we quote — we won't quote short lead times we can't meet.

I'm a small independent café — is custom packaging viable for me?

Yes. We work with businesses of all sizes, including single-site independents. Contact us with your volume and we'll advise honestly on whether custom packaging is viable at your scale.
