The complete guide

Everything you need to know about custom fry cups

Custom fry cups are paper serving cups printed with your logo, brand colors, or artwork. They do the same job as a plain paper fry cup — holding french fries, tots, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, or any hot snack — but they turn every serving into a branded touchpoint. For food trucks, concession stands, sports venues, restaurants, and event caterers, that means a more polished, memorable presentation and a bit of free marketing in every customer’s hand and in every social photo.

Because they’re made to order, the right specification depends on what you’re serving and how you’ll use it. This guide walks through the fry cup sizes and capacities available, the difference between kraft and full-color printing, the grease-resistant paper and food-grade materials that matter, how the ordering process runs from artwork to delivery, and how bulk pricing works. If you already know what you need, you can request a custom quote at any point.

Why go custom

A branded fry cup works twice — serving vessel and marketing

Plain fry cups disappear the moment the fries are gone. A custom fry cup printed with your logo does the same serving job while putting your brand in front of every guest — and into every photo that gets posted. Whether you’re running a food truck, a stadium concession, or a pop-up at a festival, custom printed fry cups make your food look intentional and unmistakably yours.

Brand visibility

Every cup becomes a mini billboard. Add your logo, tagline, or handle in kraft or full color so your brand travels with the food and shows up in customer photos.

Built for hot food

Sturdy food-grade paperboard with a grease-resistant surface keeps fries crisp and hands clean — designed to hold up to hot, oily portions.

Made to spec

Pick the size, the cup or boat style, the paper finish, and the print — we match your brand colors and handle bulk runs to keep your unit cost down.

Sizes & capacity

Fry cup sizes: which capacity do you need?

Cup capacity drives portion size and perceived value. Smaller 4 oz–8 oz cups suit tastings, kids’ meals and side portions; larger 12 oz–16 oz cups are built for full sides, loaded fries and shareable servings. Here’s how the common sizes compare.

Capacity by size

Capacities shown are common fry cup sizes; exact dimensions are confirmed with your quote.

Matching size to serving

  • Sample / mini — tastings, sliders, dipping sides and giveaways
  • Small — kids’ meals and single side portions
  • Classic 12 oz — the standard fry side for most menus
  • Large 16 oz — loaded fries and shareable portions
  • Fry boat / tray — poutine, loaded fries and combo plates

Materials & durability

Built to hold hot, greasy fries and keep your brand sharp

Our custom fry cups are made from sturdy, food-grade paperboard designed to stand up to hot, oily portions without going soft in the hand. The paper is grease-resistant so oil stays inside the cup instead of soaking through, which keeps your fries looking fresh and your customers’ hands clean from the counter to the table.

You choose the finish that fits your brand and your service. Natural kraft gives a warm, craft look and is a popular choice for a recyclable, back-to-basics presentation, while a smooth white or full-color surface makes bright, photo-ready artwork pop. Whichever you pick, your printed design is produced to hold up through service.

  • Food-grade paperboard — sturdy enough for hot, loaded portions
  • Grease-resistant surface — keeps oil in the cup, not on hands
  • Kraft or white stock — natural craft look or bright print base
  • Kraft recyclable options — for a back-to-basics presentation
  • Cup & boat formats — round cups or open fry boats/trays
  • Brand-color printing — kraft stamp or full-color artwork

Bulk pricing

How custom fry cup pricing works

Custom fry cups are priced per unit, and the per-cup price drops as your quantity climbs. Your final quote depends on four things: cup size, print style (kraft stamp vs. full color), paper finish, and total quantity. Larger runs and simpler artwork bring the unit cost down the most.

FAQ

Custom fry cup questions, answered

What is a fry cup?
A fry cup is a small paper serving cup made to hold french fries and other hot snacks like tots, tenders, or mozzarella sticks. Custom fry cups are the same thing, printed with your logo, colors and artwork so every serving carries your brand.
What sizes do custom fry cups come in?
Common sizes range from about 4 oz sample cups up to 16 oz large servings, with a 12 oz “classic” being a popular standard for a fry side. Open fry boats and trays are also available for loaded fries and combos. Exact dimensions are confirmed with your quote.
Are custom fry cups grease-resistant?
Yes. Fry cups are made from food-grade paperboard with a grease-resistant surface so oil stays inside the cup rather than soaking through, keeping fries looking fresh and hands clean.
What are fry cups made of?
They’re made from sturdy, food-grade paperboard, available in natural kraft or a smooth white stock. Kraft gives a warm, craft look while white provides a bright base for crisp, full-color artwork.
What’s the difference between kraft and full-color printing?
A kraft stamp is a clean one-color print on natural kraft paper for a simple, craft-forward look. Full-color printing reproduces logos, illustrations and photography in full color on white or kraft stock for bold, photo-ready branding.
What’s the minimum order for custom fry cups?
Our minimum order is just 12 cups per design, and the more you order the lower the per-cup price. Share your target quantity in a quote request and we’ll confirm exact pricing for your order.
How is my logo printed on the cup?
Your artwork is printed directly onto the cup stock — as a one-color kraft stamp or in full color. Send us vector artwork and we’ll proof the layout and colors before anything goes to production.
Can you match my exact brand colors?
Yes. We print to your specified brand colors so your fry cups match the rest of your packaging and branding. Note your color references in your quote request and we’ll match them on the proof.
What artwork format do you need?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG) give the cleanest print, but we can work from high-resolution PNGs or logo files too. Send whatever you have and we’ll let you know if we need anything sharper before proofing.
Do you also offer fry boats or trays?
Yes — alongside round fry cups we offer open fry boats and paperboard trays, which are ideal for loaded fries, poutine, and combo servings. You can brand these the same way as the cups.
Are kraft fry cups recyclable?
Natural kraft fry cups are a popular choice for a back-to-basics, recyclable-feel presentation. Recyclability depends on your local facilities and any coating; tell us your goals and we’ll help you choose the right stock.
What’s the typical turnaround time?
Standard turnaround is 2 weeks after your proof is approved, with faster turnaround available with express shipping. Share your event or launch date in your quote request and we’ll confirm timing.
How do I get a quote?
Use the custom quote form with your size, quantity, style and artwork, or call (929) 605-4397. You’ll get pricing and a production timeline back quickly.
