Our 12 oz and 16 oz premium stainless-steel coffee cups offer a compelling value proposition for wholesale, e-commerce and private-label brands seeking to stand out.
Key Product Advantages & Brand Opportunities
1. Food-grade 304 stainless steel core
The body of the cup is crafted from 304 food-grade stainless steel — a material that offers excellent corrosion resistance, safe contact with beverages, and no flavor transfer. (Sunlight Technology) For your brand, this supports premium positioning: “safe, long-lasting, quality drinkware your customers trust.”
2. Vacuum insulation (99%+ efficiency)
Our double-wall vacuum insulation provides exceptional hot and cold beverage performance: drinks stay hot or cold for extended periods. (Sunlight Technology) This functionality allows you to market the product as “office to outdoor,” “commute-friendly,” or “athleisure lifestyle” — positioning that resonates in the sports and fitness segments you target.
3. BPA-free, leak-resistant lid & premium finishing
The precision‐engineered lid uses BPA-free food-safe materials, supporting regulatory compliance and safety messaging. (Sunlight Technology) The cup’s exterior is powder-coated with non-acidic colour edges for smoother texture, better colour stability and long-term display attractiveness. (Sunlight Technology) For your wholesale/private-label customers this means: “colour-fast, resilient branding surfaces.”
4. Custom branding & low-MOQ flexibility
Whether you’re a start-up brand, promotional agency or established distributor, our offering supports customization: silk-print, UV printing, laser-engraving, custom Pantone colours, and even bespoke packaging (plain box, gift box, retail display). (Sunlight Technology) The MOQ is just 1 piece for sampling, 3 days for proofing, and 7 days typical for bulk delivery. (Sunlight Technology) This flexibility allows your clients to test new lines, run seasonal campaigns or launch limited editions without heavy risk.
