Custom food packaging, printed for cafes, bars and restaurants

Asia drinks billions of cups of bubble tea a year, and almost every one of them is a printed PP cup with a heat-sealed film lid. That volume built a cup, film, sleeve and straw industry with tighter tolerances than anywhere else: the cup rim has to seal on a machine every time, the print has to survive condensation, and the film has to peel clean. Those are the factories we buy from, and they already export to the US every week.

What that means for you

• Print quality that was designed for a drink that sweats, not a promotional giveaway.
• Cup, lid, film, sleeve and straw from suppliers who already fit each other.
• Food-contact certification as a standard document, not a special request.
• Factories we work with directly, not through a trading company.

Custom restaurant packaging from one supplier

Most restaurant food packaging is bought piecemeal: cups from one distributor, napkins from another, bags from a third, and the logo never quite matches across them. We print the whole set from the same artwork file, so the takeout packaging that leaves your counter looks like one brand. If you are comparing custom food packaging companies, the questions that matter are the ones on this page: minimums, lead time, and whether the food-contact file exists.

Compliance, in plain terms

Paper and paperboard that touches food falls under FDA 21 CFR 176, plastics under 21 CFR 177. Inks are low-migration and the factory supplies a declaration for each run. For paper bags and wraps that need a grease barrier we specify PFAS-free coatings, since a growing list of states now bans intentionally added PFAS in food packaging. You get the documents with the order and you can hand them to a health inspector.
