Yes, you can get next day cups in the UK, and Express Cups is built for exactly that. Plain stock cups can dispatch the same or next working day, while printed next day cups run through express production as fast as 48 hours and then travel by next day to 72 hour courier. Because we mould, print and pack every cup in our own UK factory, a tight deadline never forces you to serve drinks in plain, unbranded plastic.
Why We Can Turn Cups Around Overnight
Most suppliers quote three to six weeks because they import blank cups from overseas and reprint them, or they drop ship from a European warehouse. There is a container ship, a customs queue and an international courier handoff sitting between them and your event. We removed all of that. Our full production line sits inside one British factory, so the stage that usually causes delay is the stage we control completely. That control is the whole reason next day cups are a real service rather than a marketing slogan.
Next Day Cup Service Levels
The table below matches each service level to a realistic turnaround and the kind of order it suits best. All timings assume your artwork is approved and are for UK mainland delivery.
| Service Level | Production | Delivery | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plain Stock | Same or next day dispatch | Next day | Unbranded cups, no proof needed |
| SOS Priority | 48 hours | Next day | Emergency printed orders |
| Urgent Express | 3 to 4 working days | Next day to 72 hour | Events under a week away |
| Standard | 10 working days | Next day to 72 hour | Planned events with lead time |
How to Hit a Next Day Deadline
The fastest jobs all share a pattern. The buyer has print ready artwork ready to upload, they select the delivery date up front, and they approve the digital proof within the hour we send it. Do those three things and a next day printed cup is realistic even on a busy week. If you only need cups in hand rather than logos on them, unbranded stock is quicker still because it skips the print and proof stages entirely. You can start any order in under two minutes on the quote builder, or talk it through first via the contact section.
Same Quality, Whatever the Deadline
A next day cup is not a lesser cup. Every rush order uses the same specification as our standard range, made from BPA free polypropylene, UKCA marked, and produced on the same UK line as everything else we make. Minimum order stays at just 50 cups, so there is no giant quantity to clear before we accept an urgent run. The full product range qualifies too, from half pints and pints to line through to two pint cups, cocktail cups and the Stack Cup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really get next day cups in the UK?

What is the minimum order for next day cups?
Our minimum order is just 50 cups. There is no large quantity threshold to clear before we accept a rush job, which suits small events, pop ups and last minute activations.
Does next day delivery include printing time?
Delivery and production are separate stages. Printed cups need production time first, as fast as 48 hours on our express tier, then next day to 72 hour courier on top. Unbranded stock skips printing entirely.
