Material:

Utilizing advanced printing technology, you can create and print your brand logo, artwork, or vivid graphics with up to 8 colors that wrap around the cup’s surface. This personalization opportunity enables you to enhance brand visibility and create an attractive presentation for your beverages, making it a powerful marketing tool for events, promotions, and businesses.
Design and Functionality:
The cup’s design includes a smooth and transparent surface, allowing the contents inside to be clearly visible and enhancing the appeal of your beverages. The rolled rim ensures the cup’s durability and provides a comfortable drinking experience for your customers or guests.
Eco-Friendly and Compostable:
As part of Earth Brands’ commitment to sustainability, this cup is fully compostable. After use, it can be collected with organic waste and sent to industrial composting facilities, where it will break down into nutrient-rich compost, contributing to a more circular and environmentally friendly approach to waste management.
Usage:
This single-use cup is suitable for various settings, including restaurants, cafes, food trucks, events, parties, and gatherings. It is particularly well-suited for environmentally conscious businesses and events that prioritize sustainable practices and want to make a positive impact on the planet.
Note on Composting:
To ensure proper composting, make sure the cup is free from any non-compostable materials, such as plastic straws or lids. Follow local composting guidelines and send the cup to a certified composting facility to maximize its environmental benefits.
In summary, the 9 oz. Earth Brands Compostable PLA Single-Use Cup with up to 8 color wrap imprint embodies sustainability and personalization. By choosing this compostable cup, you not only showcase your brand in an eye-catching way but also demonstrate your commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable business practices.

Pour Lines on Drinking Glasses
A pour line is a subtle printed horizontal mark on the side of drinking glasses, indicating a specific fill level (often for portion control, like 5 oz or 6 oz in wine glasses). Available in black or white for visibility.
Key Notes
- Placed as close as possible to the requested capacity for guidance.
- Not guaranteed exact: Due to natural variations in handcrafted or mass-produced glassware, actual volume to the line may vary slightly from glass to glass.
- Often considered novelty items, as they're more decorative or guidance than precisely measured (unlike certified commercial scientific measuring glass containers).
Metallic Halos on Drinking Glasses
A metallic halo (also called a halo band or rim banding) is a decorative technique used on premium glassware, where precious metal inks — typically gold or platinum (appears and often referred to as silver) — are applied to the lip or rim of the glass. This creates a luxurious, shimmering accent that elevates the look of drinking glasses, wine stems, tumblers, or highballs, often seen in high-end or custom collections for an elegant touch during entertaining.
Key Features
- It adds a sophisticated, metallic sheen that catches the light.
- Manufacturers apply it by hand-painting or firing the metal onto the glass for a fused, durable finish (though not indestructible).
Care Limitations
Glassware with metallic halos generally requires careful handling to preserve the decoration:
- Handwashing is strongly recommended — Use warm (not hot) water, mild detergent, and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently clean the rim to avoid abrasion, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a lint-free towel to prevent water spots or damage.
- Not dishwasher safe — High heat, harsh detergents, abrasive action, and prolonged exposure can cause the metallic halo to fade, chip, wear off, or discolor over time. Many retailers and manufacturers explicitly label these items as "hand wash only" to maintain the premium appearance.
If your glasses already show wear on the halo, it's common with frequent use — unfortunately, it's difficult to restore professionally without risking food safety. For everyday durability, consider plain glassware; for special occasions, metallic halo pieces offer that upscale vibe with proper gentle care!
