- Price per cup, no day limit, across Europe: straightforward to calculate based on your expected attendance.

- Fewer single-use cups: replace disposables with cups that stay in circulation event after event.

Renting vs buying reusable cups
As manufacturers, we can help you choose with no obligation.
| Rental | Purchase | |
|---|---|---|
| Ideal for | One-off events or inaugural editions | Recurring events, hospitality and brands |
| Cost | Custom rate based on quantity, duration and event. | Investment in your own cups to reuse year after year |
| Design | Plain cups or generic Ekomon designs | Customised with your logo: screen printing (from one box), Fullcolour Digital (from 20 cups) or Fullcolour (IML) (from 300 cups, depending on the model) |
| Washing | Optional: €0.10 per cup | Optional, using our washing service |
| Unreturned cups | Charged at the cost of the cup | Attendees can keep them as souvenirs |
If your event takes place every year, purchasing branded cups may make more sense: the cup becomes a collectible and strengthens your brand identity. When buying in large quantities, you can also request extra rental cups as a safety margin, which we often provide free of charge. Explore our reusable cups for festivals.
Deposit and return: ensuring cups come back
With rentals, any unreturned cup is invoiced, so securing high return rates is essential. The most effective approach is a deposit return scheme: attendees pay a deposit for the cup and receive it back upon return. Deposit clips clearly identify cups with an active deposit. For larger events, you can hire our BackCup machineby the day, which validates the cup and generates a unique QR code redeemable for the deposit.
Already have cups from another manufacturer?
