We recently posted about backing the 6Music initiative to reduce plastic waste at festivals and gigs and right on cue, one of our favourite and long time suppliers BBP Marketing have stepped up with a fabulous new range of printed glasses that are perfect for this drive to remove disposable plastic.
BBP Marketing has been a supplier to Cater For You ever since we set up in 2003 and they have been consistently one of the best to work with. They are a great British business and we are always looking to support our British manufacturers and supply their high quality product and keep up with their consistent market leading product innovations.

Festival and Gig Branded Plastic Glasses
Their most recent innovation is to take their unbreakable UKCA stamped 340ml, 570ml and 625ml plastic glasses and wrap them with a full rotary colour print. These have become increasingly popular with pubs, music venues and outdoor festivals as the retailer can supply a glass with a deposit built in and bring them back to the bar and a clean one in its place.
Converting Cost to Profit
Make money from your plastic glasses! If your customers take your branded plastic glasses home, the cost will be covered and your venue will be breaking even or better depending on the deposit you charge. This compares with disposable plastic pint glasses where they are typically dropped on the floor during the event, they then have to be manually collected, bagged up and then have to pay for their recycling / waste disposal. If these are dropped in the venue, they can be picked up and re-used and the venue retains the deposit taken with the first drink.
Typical Prices
We can print on any plastic glasses, but the three festival cups in the photo that we currently have example prices per case as per below – excluding £50 set up fee (no repeat costs if more ordered at a later date).
