Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Drinkware

By Event Size

Small gatherings (under 50 guests) work well with our Champagne Glasses or Wine Glass 250ml for a more elegant feel. Mid-size events (50-300 guests) are well served by our 350ml-500ml disposable range. For festivals and large-scale events (300+ guests), bulk packs of our 500ml Beer Mug or Festival Cup 600ml offer the best cost-per-unit.

By Use Case

Hot beverages call for our Coffee Cup 250ml or Tea Cup 200ml, both heat-resistant. Cold drinks and cocktails suit the Hi-Ball Cup or Cocktail Glass range. For novelty or themed parties, our Glow Cup, Rainbow Cup, and Kids Party Cup ranges add character without sacrificing durability.

By Budget

Disposable cups offer the lowest upfront cost for single-use events. Reusable options like the Viva Cup and Beer Mug cost more per unit but pay off across repeat events, since they're designed to survive multiple washes and outings.

By Branding Needs

If you need sharp logos on curved surfaces (mugs, cups), pad printing is the proven choice. If you want full-colour, photo-quality graphics, ask about UV DTF. Either method can be applied in bulk for events, sponsorships, or retail packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between disposable and reusable cups for an event?

For one-off events with high volume, disposable cups keep costs down. For repeat events or venues wanting to reduce waste, reusable options like our Viva Cup are more cost-effective over time and reduce your environmental footprint.

What's the difference between pad printing and UV DTF branding?

Pad printing works best on curved or irregular surfaces like mugs and cups, and has been reliable for decades. UV DTF offers full-colour, high-resolution graphics and works best on flatter surfaces for a glossy finish.

Are Fantastic Plastics products BPA-free and food-safe?

Yes, our disposable and reusable drinkware is BPA-free and manufactured to food-safe standards.

How far in advance should I place a bulk order?

We recommend confirming quantities and artwork at least 2-3 weeks before your event date to allow time for branding and quality checks.

Do you supply outside of Durban?

Yes, we deliver nationwide across South Africa from our Durban facility.
