Everything starts with the format

Step 1:
Before you start designing your own cool coffee cup, it is important to think about which coffee cup you want to print. At CUPSZ you can choose from no fewer than 6 sizes of coffee cups, there is a suitable cup for every type of coffee:

Step 2:
Once you know which size coffee cup you want to design, you can go to the product page of the cup in question. Here you can specify the number of pieces you want. Click on the "design yourself online" button, now the designing can begin!


Step 3:
When the design tool opens, you will see your coffee cup in the size you selected, ready to be covered with your unique message.

 

To make designing your coffee cup as easy as possible, we use rectangular templates. This is changed automatically using high-tech software. This software places coordinates on your file and starts transforming a rectangular file into a fan-shaped file. This way the correct proportions are maintained.

The SUP marking must be placed on the cup!



How does it work, designing a coffee cup?

At the top right you have the design tools with four options to decorate your cup. You can:

  • Upload an image (such as your logo or photos). It is important that you always upload a .pdf or .ai file. This gives the best quality.
  • Add text
  • Reuse your saved designs
  • Edit the background

 

 

 

Now you can start designing your coffee cup!

Of course, there are different ways to make your design unique. Here is a step-by-step plan that is the most efficient for designing your coffee cup. Be creative, be unique, and make something beautiful!

1) Place your logo

Let's start at the beginning. Once you have opened the design page, it is useful to import your logo first.

Note: We recommend uploading a high-resolution file to achieve better results. (at least 3980 x 3326 pixels)

 

You can choose to place the logo on the cup once or twice by importing the logo a second time. Use the dividing lines of the design to place the logo centrally in one go, or to determine the front and back of the cup.

2) Choose the background of the cup

Choose the background color that matches the logo or add a background yourself.

For a white background as the color of the cup, it is best not to apply a background color to the design.

 

3) Add additional style elements

You can now choose to add additional style elements. You can also add many other unique messages to the design, such as catchy text, special photos, your own slogan, your new website, social media tags and much more!

Share your design

Please note: Always save your design before you leave the website, but also before you add it to your shopping cart.
