UK Cups
Made in the UK since 2012

Our storythe UK's reusable cup factory, selling direct.

UK Cups is the direct-from-the-maker brand of Tees Valley Plastics, the British manufacturer behind millions of reusable cups at festivals, stadiums, weddings and venues across the country. Made in the UK, in our own factory, since 2012.

British manufacturing

We mould, print and ship every cup from our own UK factory.

Every cup is moulded, printed and dispatched in-house from Stockton-on-Tees, deep in the Tees Valley industrial heartland of North East England. We own the full process end to end: the polypropylene melt, the in-mould labelling, the screen print, the finishing, the warehousing, the courier load. There is no broker chain, no importer, no reseller. When you order from us you buy direct from the British manufacturer, not a middleman shipping in cups from overseas.

In-house UK moulding

Our British injection-moulding lines run food-grade BPA-free polypropylene around the clock. Every cup is moulded on-site in Stockton-on-Tees, never imported.

In-Mould Labelling

Full-colour artwork embedded into the cup wall during moulding. No per-colour upcharge, no fading, no peeling across 200+ wash cycles.

UKCA at the line

Every pint, half-pint and two-pint cup carries UKCA + CE legal-measure marks moulded into the cup wall for licensed bar service.

Cowton Way, Stockton-on-Tees, TS16 0RE. Part of the Tees Valley Plastics group, alongside our sister brands Drinksmate and Express Cups. Same factory, different service models.

Sustainability

The most useful thing a reusable cup does is replace single-use plastic at scale.

Across its working life every cup we make replaces between 100 and 250 disposable cups. Multiply that by the millions of British-made cups we’ve put into circulation since 2012 and the numbers start to bite.

Closed-loop recycling

Polypropylene is 100% recyclable. Cups returned to us at end of life feed back into the production line as regrind.

200+ wash cycles

Our cups are engineered for commercial dishwashers. A well-maintained cup typically survives 200 cycles before retirement.

Lower freight footprint

Made in the UK: no shipping containers from overseas, no surprise duty bills, no compliance gaps when regulations change, and we keep British manufacturing jobs in the North East.

Deposit-return schemes

We help festivals, stadiums and venues design deposit-return schemes that fund the cup buy and keep your branding circulating.
