Our Manufacturing Heritage

UK Cups is not a distributor. We are the specialist division of Tees Valley Plastics Ltd (TVP), the undisputed heavyweight in UK reusable cup manufacturing. For years, TVP has manufactured millions of cups for the biggest events, stadiums, and brands across Europe.

We launched UK Cups to bring this manufacturing power directly to you. Whether you need 500 branded cups for a wedding or 500,000 festival cups for a major event, you are dealing directly with the factory floor.

By keeping production local in the North East of England, we guarantee quality that imported alternatives cannot match.

Our facility operates 24/7 using state-of-the-art injection moulding and printing technology. This ensures that when you order UK made cups, you get them on time, every time.

The UK Cups Difference

We are defining the standard for the printed cup manufacturer industry. Our mission is to prove that British manufacturing can be cost-effective, sustainable, and superior in quality to Far East imports.

Why UK Manufacturing Matters

When you choose festival cups made in the UK, you are securing your supply chain. We do not rely on slow shipping containers or erratic customs delays. We mould, print, and pack your order right here, ensuring your event never runs dry.

Our Capabilities

  • Injection Moulding: High-volume production of pint, half-pint, and wine cups.
  • Custom Printing: Full-colour IML (In-Mould Labelling) and single colour printing for sharp branding.
  • Sustainability: We use food-grade polypropylene (PP) that is durable for hundreds of washes and fully recyclable at end-of-life.

Highly recommend! I needed 50 personalised cups for my sister's hen party on a really tight deadline, and they were so supportive and helpful throughout. They delivered everything in just 9 days, and the cups were exactly as I requested. Fantastic service and great quality, thank you!
