With summer upon us, festival season has arrived! And with it comes a barrage of challenges for both festival-goers and organisers alike. One of these challenges is the question of how best to serve drinks when glasses aren’t an option.

For those providing beverages, it’s important to bear in mind that the last thing anyone wants to spend long, hot days at a festival, sipping on warm and flat beer. Luckily, there are a variety of essential drinks packaging options available that can help keep drinks fresh and cold:

• RPET cups: One of the most popular options for drinks packaging is PET cups. Not only are they recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly option, these cups come in a variety of sizes, so you can choose the perfect option to suit your needs. Whether you're looking for a small cup for serving wine or a larger version for a pint of beer, RPET cups are an excellent choice.

• Single-walled cups: Another solid option for cold drinks are single-walled cups. These cups are ideal for both hot and cold beverages, so whether you’re a coffee stand or a bar, this option will suit your requirements. They’re a cost-effective solution, that come in different sizes and are made of high-quality materials, meaning they’re less likely to break or leak as your customers dance around to their favourite acts.

• Double-walled cups: If you're looking for a packaging option that can keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold for longer, double-walled cups are a great option. They feature two layers of insulation that help maintain the temperature of the drink, making them ideal for coffee, tea, or even beer.

• 100% recyclable cups: With a growing focus on environmental sustainability, biodegradable cups are an increasingly popular choice. Made from materials that can break down naturally over time, using these cups will reduce your brand’s impact on the environment.

• Smoothie cups: For those serving healthier beverage options, such as fruit-filled smoothies or freshly squeezed juices - smoothie cups are for you. Don’t forget to order snap-on lids and straws, so that your customers will find them easy to drink from on-the-go.

No matter which drinks packaging option you select, we can personalise it to ensure that your company's name takes centre stage. This means that not only will your customers have a fantastic weekend of music and laughter, but they'll also be able to enjoy a delicious beverage adorned with your brand's name.
