About CUPSTORYS
CUPSTORYS is the youngest business unit of the GIZEH corporate group and specializes in the production and decoration of reusable cups made from recyclable polypropylene. At the Bergneustadt site (NRW), drinking cups and coffee cups for events, festivals, clubs, gastronomy and promotional applications are manufactured and decorated. Decoration is done via digital printing (touch-free direct printing with photorealistic quality, a wide variety of surfaces, geometries and container radii) as well as via in-mould labelling (IML), in which printed labels fuse with the plastic during the injection moulding process. Order quantities are possible from 25 pieces up to large-scale production runs. The plant is designed to meet the hygiene requirements of the food industry and is certified according to BRC/IoP and FDA. In addition, CUPSTORYS arranges washing services for reusable cups through a partner network and offers a 3D configurator for online cup design.
