What cup sizes should a coffee shop choose?
Most cafés are well covered by 8, 12 and 16 oz. If you only want two sizes, 12 and 16 oz share the same 90 mm lid.
Cups for coffee shops
Custom Paper Cups for Coffee Shops & Cafés
A branded cup program sized for a real coffee menu — manufactured and printed in one U.S. facility.
PrintForm manufactures and prints custom coffee shop cups in 8 oz (espresso drinks), 12 oz (the everyday size) and 16 oz (large drinks), with Double Wall options in 12 and 16 oz. The 8 oz cup takes an 80 mm lid; 12 and 16 oz share a 90 mm lid, so two lid sizes cover the menu. Orders start from 100 cups with no plate fees.
Building a cup program for your café
Most cafés run two or three sizes. A common setup is 8 oz for cortados and flat whites, 12 oz for standard lattes and drip coffee, and 16 oz for large drinks — all carrying the same artwork family.
Lids stay simple: the 8 oz cup takes an 80 mm lid and the 12 and 16 oz cups share a 90 mm lid, so two lid sizes cover the whole menu and staff grab the right lid every time.
For specialty and extra-hot drinks, Double Wall cups in 12 and 16 oz add insulation and a comfortable hold without a sleeve. Single Wall remains the economical everyday workhorse.

Single Wall or Double Wall for a café?
Single Wall is the most economical for everyday service. Double Wall (12 and 16 oz) suits specialty and extra-hot drinks and is usually served without a sleeve.

Yes. Custom printed orders start from 100 cups, so a new shop can launch branded without over-buying stock.
Can I run a seasonal design for my café?
Yes. With no plate fees, a seasonal design can run as its own order from 100 cups alongside your everyday cups.
