Yard Cup with Handle: Large-Capacity, Easy-Grip Drinkware for Events

Our Yard Cup with Handle is a user-friendly, large-capacity drinkware solution designed to address the primary challenge of traditional yard cups: difficulty in carrying a full, 1.2L-1.5L cup without spilling. Crafted from food-grade PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this cup combines the generous serving size of a classic yard cup with a sturdy, integrated handle that provides a secure grip—making it ideal for parties, barbecues, tailgating events, and casual gatherings where mobility is key. The material is chosen for its durability: it is impact-resistant (unbreakable if dropped from a height of 1.5 meters), resistant to staining from dark beverages (e.g., cola, beer), and safe for cold drinks (up to 40°C; not recommended for hot liquids) with no BPA or harmful chemicals. The handle is a critical design element, engineered to be both strong and comfortable. It is made from the same food-grade material as the cup (for consistency and durability) and attached to the cup’s body at two points (top and bottom of the handle), ensuring it can support the weight of a full cup (approximately 1.5kg for 1.5L of liquid) without bending or breaking. The handle’s interior is shaped to fit an average adult hand (70mm wide, 100mm tall), with a slight curve that reduces hand fatigue during extended use—important for events where guests may hold the cup for hours. The cup itself features a wide mouth (95mm diameter) for easy pouring and adding ice or garnishes, a reinforced base (80mm diameter) for stability, and a smooth exterior that is easy to clean (for reusable versions) or print on (for branding). This cup is particularly popular at events where guests are on the move—tailgating parties before sports games, outdoor concerts, and backyard barbecues—where carrying a full, handle-less yard cup can be cumbersome. For example, a tailgating supply company in the US that sells party kits to football fans includes our Yard Cup with Handle as a core item. The company reports that the handle-equipped cup is their best-selling drinkware product, with customers citing the “no-spill grip” as the main reason for purchase. During a recent football season, the company sold over 20,000 of these cups, with many customers leaving reviews noting that the handle made it easy to carry their drink while grilling or socializing. Another case involves a chain of outdoor bars in Brazil that uses our Yard Cup with Handle to serve “caipirinha buckets” (a large serving of the classic Brazilian cocktail). The handle allows patrons to carry the cup from their table to the bar or dance floor without spilling, and the bar has seen a 15% increase in sales of the bucket-sized cocktails since introducing the cup. Customization options for the Yard Cup with Handle include full-color printing via IML (In-Mold Labeling) or screen printing, which can cover the cup’s body and even part of the handle (for a cohesive look). Event organizers and brands often use this space to add logos, event names, hashtags, or fun graphics—for example, a sports team might print their logo and “Go Team!” on the cup for tailgating events, while a beverage brand could print a recipe for a signature cocktail. We also offer color matching for both the cup and the handle, allowing you to create a cohesive design (e.g., a red cup with a white handle, or a brand-specific color for both). For reusable versions, we can add a matte finish to the cup and handle for a more premium feel. We offer the Yard Cup with Handle in sizes 1.2L and 1.5L, with both disposable and reusable variants. The reusable version (made from durable PET or PVC) is dishwasher-safe (top-rack recommended) and can withstand up to 300 uses, making it suitable for rental at events or for sale as a branded merchandise item. The disposable version is lightweight (30-35g per 1.5L cup) and stackable (up to 50 cups per stack) for easy transport and storage. For eco-conscious customers, we provide a reusable version made from PLA (corn-starch), though the handle is slightly thicker (to maintain strength) and the cup is best suited for low-impact use. To discuss pricing, customization, or to request a sample (to test the handle’s strength and grip comfort), please contact us. Our team can also provide guidance on how to market the handle as a key feature—e.g., highlighting it in social media posts or product descriptions as the “spill-proof solution for party drinks.”
