Happy Cups

Happy Cups, printed reusable cups for festivals and events

Happy Cups is a British company established in 2013 that presents itself as a supplier of printed reusable cups for festivals, stadiums, events and visitor attractions. According to its own website, it supplies leading festivals, stadiums and events across the UK, Ireland and Europe. Its activity focuses on replacing single-use plastic cups with reusable cups customised with each client's image.

Products and available formats

The company's catalogue includes reusable plastic cups and paper cups for pint and half pint, as well as tumbler-style cups. It also offers reusable cups with handles, which the company notes are somewhat more expensive but useful for reducing queues by allowing multiple units to be carried without a tray. Cups can be printed with one, two or all colours using IML or digital printing, with full wrap-around coverage.

Printing, marking and design service

The company prints cups with the client's logo or design and offers an artwork service: the client can send their own design or provide their logo, texts and brand guidelines for Happy Cups to create the proposal. It also has design templates for those who prefer to create their own sketches. Cups can be supplied with or without UKCA or CE marking, an aspect the company links to legal compliance at festivals.

Reuse, waste and safety

Happy Cups presents its cups as an alternative to disposable cups: they are rigid, stackable and shatter-resistant, and can be washed repeatedly on the top rack of a dishwasher. The company states that its deposit system helps reduce waste and clean-up times, and that for large events it can help implement washing and drying systems that support reuse. Regarding safety in crowded spaces, it notes that using reusable and shatter-resistant cups helps protect attendees.

Orders for all types of events

The company indicates that its manufacturing and printing processes allow it to handle orders of any size, from 50 cups for birthdays and weddings to hundreds of thousands for festivals and large-scale events. In addition to festivals, its cups are presented as suitable for parties, weddings, conferences, corporate gifts, nightclubs, cafes and restaurants, as well as for stadiums and visitor attractions.

Customers and reviews

Among the events the website mentions as customers are Barn on the Farm, Lakefest, Humber Street Sesh Festival and Beneath the Baobabs. The company collects testimonials from organisers who highlight the reduction of waste at their bars and the use of official cups that attendees reuse from previous editions. Happy Cups states that 98% of people rate its service as excellent and refers to reviews on Trustpilot, Google and Reviews.io.
