Custom Cup Factory

What Custom Cup Factory does

Custom Cup Factory INC. is a US-based B2B wholesale supplier of disposable foodservice packaging, founded in 2020 and headquartered at 189 N Sunset Ave, City of Industry, California. The company operates a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront and serves primarily SMB foodservice operators, including coffee shops, bubble tea shops, ice cream parlors, bakeries, quick-serve restaurants, and casual dining establishments, across the United States and Canada. Distribution runs through direct online ordering, phone sales at (818) 732-0099, email-based quoting, and warehouse pickup at the City of Industry facility, with general inventory shipping in 3-5 business days.

The company's core capability centers on custom print manufacturing and supply chain management for paper and plastic disposable packaging. Proprietary features include in-house custom printing with food-grade inks across multiple substrate types (PP, PE, PET-ES, aluminum, paper), premium PP injection molding that produces thicker cups rated to 248°F/120°C, and a UL-certified automatic cup sealing machine (300-500 cups per hour with 1-minute heat-up). The product portfolio spans paper coffee cups (single and double-wall), paper soda cups, PET and PP plastic cups, premium PP injection cups and drink buckets, ice cream and yogurt containers, deli containers, lids (cold, hot, dessert), utensils, sealing films, bakery boxes, an eco-friendly bagasse/bamboo/PLA-lined line, egg cartons, custom retail boxes (15+ structural styles), and warehouse supplies.

The business model is built on one-time wholesale transactions priced per unit at the case level. Generic products carry no minimum order quantity, while custom print orders require 2,000 to 250,000 pieces depending on product, with a 50% deposit upfront. Lead times range from 3-5 business days for in-stock inventory to 4-6 weeks for USA-made custom products and 10-12 weeks for overseas-manufactured custom orders. Revenue is generated from one-time wholesale product sales and custom print orders, with overseas manufacturer relationships enabling competitive wholesale pricing and low MOQs serving as the primary differentiation versus larger packaging distributors.
