Reusable Yard Cup – Durable, Customizable & Eco-Friendly

Our Reusable Yard Cup is a durable, large-capacity drinkware solution engineered for long-term use across bars, restaurants, backyard barbecues, tailgating events, and home gatherings—replacing single-use alternatives to reduce waste. Crafted from high-performance food-grade materials, including PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and Tritan, this cup typically holds 1.2L to 1.8L of liquid (the classic “yard” size) and is built to withstand repeated use (up to 500 cycles when properly cleaned). Tritan stands out for its superior impact resistance: it remains unbreakable even if dropped from a height of 1.5 meters, making it ideal for outdoor events like camping trips or sports tailgates. All materials are free from BPA, BPS, and phthalates, ensuring safety for serving beer, soft drinks, cocktails, or slush, and are resistant to staining from dark beverages (e.g., cola or coffee) and odors that can linger in lower-quality plastics. The design of the Reusable Yard Cup balances functionality and longevity. It features a wide mouth (100mm diameter) for easy pouring, adding ice or garnishes (like citrus slices or mint sprigs), and cleaning—compatible with standard dishwashers (top-rack safe) to simplify maintenance. The cup’s body has a thickened wall (1.5mm for PET/PVC, 1.8mm for Tritan) that resists deformation under the weight of full liquid or accidental bumps, and a reinforced base (85mm diameter) that provides stability on uneven surfaces (e.g., picnic blankets or tailgate tables). Many variants include a textured exterior (ribbed pattern) that enhances grip, even when the cup is cold and condensation forms—reducing the risk of slips. For added versatility, the cup is compatible with our leak-proof PP lids, making it suitable for takeaway service from bars or restaurants. Real-world applications highlight the cup’s value. A chain of sports bars in Europe, with 30 locations across Germany and France, introduced our Reusable Yard Cup as part of its “Sustainable Sip” initiative. Customers pay a small deposit (refundable upon returning the cup) to use the cup for beer or soft drinks, and the bars report a 40% reduction in single-use plastic waste within six months. The cups, printed with the chain’s logo and sports-themed graphics via IML, also became popular souvenirs—with 25% of customers choosing to keep the cup (waiving the deposit) as a memento. Another case involves a community organization in the US that hosts annual summer festivals; the organization switched to our Reusable Yard Cups for all beverage service, reducing festival waste by 55% and receiving positive feedback from attendees who appreciated the cup’s durability and “zero-waste” appeal. Customization options are extensive to align with brand identity. We offer full-wrap printing via IML or screen printing, allowing for vibrant, full-color designs that include logos, event names, hashtags, or custom artwork. For example, a beverage brand sponsored a music festival and had our cups printed with its logo and the festival’s lineup—every attendee received a cup, leading to thousands of social media posts featuring the brand. We also provide color matching (Pantone color codes available) to match brand hues, and can add embossed branding on the cup’s base for a subtle, tactile detail. For eco-conscious clients, we offer a Reusable Yard Cup made from recycled PET (rPET) or PLA (corn-starch)—the PLA version maintains durability for 300+ uses and is biodegradable under industrial composting conditions at the end of its lifespan. We offer the Reusable Yard Cup in sizes 1.2L, 1.5L, and 1.8L, with minimum order quantities starting at 300 units for custom designs. The cup is dishwasher-safe, and we provide care instructions to extend its lifespan (e.g., avoiding exposure to temperatures above 70°C to prevent warping). To discuss pricing, customization, or to request a sample (to test durability and print quality), please contact us. Our team can also provide guidance on how to market the cup as a “sustainable” or “premium” item—helping to drive customer adoption and brand loyalty.
