Colored Yard Cups for Carnival – Vibrant & Customizable

Our Colored Yard Cup for Carnival is a vibrant, large-capacity drinkware solution designed to capture the festive, energetic spirit of carnivals, fairs, amusement parks, and street festivals. Crafted from food-grade PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride) infused with bold, fade-resistant colorants, this cup is available in a spectrum of eye-catching hues—neon pink, electric blue, sunny yellow, bright orange, and lime green—that stand out in crowded carnival environments, making it easy for vendors to spot and for attendees to keep track of their drinks. The colorants meet FDA and EU food safety standards, ensuring no leaching into beverages (even acidic ones like lemonade or slush) and maintaining their vibrancy even after exposure to sunlight and moisture. The cup typically holds 1.2L-1.5L of liquid, the classic “yard” size that is perfect for carnival-goers who want to minimize trips to drink stands. The design of the Colored Yard Cup for Carnival prioritizes durability and convenience for both vendors and attendees. It features a sturdy body (1.2mm thick for PET, 1.3mm for PVC) that resists crushing and impact—critical in busy carnival settings where cups may be bumped or dropped—and a wide mouth (95mm diameter) for easy pouring of slush, lemonade, beer, or carnival-themed cocktails (e.g., “cotton candy punch”). The base is reinforced (80mm diameter) to prevent tipping, even on uneven carnival grounds, and the cup’s exterior is smooth, providing a clean surface for printing event logos or vendor information. Many variants include a small, integrated hook on the side of the cup—allowing attendees to hang the cup from carnival ride harnesses, backpacks, or belt loops when their hands are full, a feature that is highly popular among families with kids. This cup is a staple at carnivals worldwide, where its bright colors and large size make it both a functional drinkware item and a souvenir. For example, a major carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that attracts over 2 million attendees annually uses our Colored Yard Cup for Carnival as an official merchandise item. The cups are printed with the carnival’s logo and year, available in the event’s signature colors (green, yellow, blue), and sold at booths throughout the carnival grounds. Attendees often collect the cups year after year, and the carnival reports that cup sales contribute 10% to its annual merchandise revenue. Another case involves a state fair in the US that partners with local beverage vendors to use our colored yard cups for serving “fair slush”—a mix of fruit flavors. The bright orange, pink, and green cups make the slush look more appealing, and vendors have reported a 25% increase in slush sales since switching to the colored cups, as they are more attractive to passersby. Customization is a key part of the Colored Yard Cup for Carnival’s appeal, as carnivals and vendors use it to promote their brand and create a cohesive event identity. We offer screen printing or IML (In-Mold Labeling) to add event logos, vendor names, sponsor information, or fun carnival-themed graphics (e.g., clowns, Ferris wheels, confetti). The printing is done in high-contrast colors to stand out against the cup’s bright base—for example, a white logo on a neon pink cup or a black logo on a yellow cup. We can also add glow-in-the-dark ink for night carnivals, making the cups visible in low light and adding to the festive atmosphere. For carnivals with sustainability goals, we offer a colored PLA version of the yard cup (made from corn-starch), where the color is infused into the PLA material—ensuring the cup remains biodegradable under industrial composting conditions. We offer the Colored Yard Cup for Carnival in sizes 1.2L and 1.5L, with minimum order quantities starting at 1,000 units for standard colors and 5,000 units for custom colors. The cup is available in both disposable and reusable variants: the disposable version is lightweight (30-35g per 1.5L cup) and stackable for easy transport, while the reusable version is made from thicker material (1.5mm) and can be sold as a souvenir. For vendors, we can provide bulk packaging (100 cups per carton) that is easy to store and transport to carnival booths. To discuss color options, customization, pricing (which is competitive for bulk orders), or to request a sample (to test the cup’s color vibrancy and durability), please contact us. Our team can also help you design a cup that aligns with your carnival’s theme—whether it’s a tropical carnival, a vintage fair, or a modern street festival—to enhance the overall attendee experience.
