Spotlight: Visstun Cups

We sat down with James Boyd from Visstun Cups to talk more about the brand that has a wide variety of options when it comes to custom printed cups and containers. What sets them apart from the competition is their custom prints, single case minimums, as well as their high definition prints and graphics. They also have a high turnaround time, of only one to two weeks.

James Boyd has been working at Visstun Cups for more than ten years. He remembers when the company only used three sizes of containers to now having a much broader line ranging from 3 ounces to 32-ounce quarts. The company has grown rapidly in the past 4-5 years.

Boyd’s favorite part of the industry is helping customers find and make the ideal packaging for their product. Boyd is able to not only work with large companies, but he gets to speak to smaller venues as well. It has been a truly rewarding experience as he has had a chance to watch the company grow. He is also able to network when the company attends trade shows.

Boyd’s favorite products are clear plastic cups, single serve T-5 containers and 5-ounce containers.  “We are unique in what we do, it’s always about what’s next,” states Boyd. Visstun Cups's concession cups are thicker than industry standards; they consider themselves the Cadillacs of the packaging industry. Their clear plastic concession cups are some of the most durable on the market. They are reusable, dishwasher safe, and top shelf. They are made from high-density polyethylene. For our readers that are wondering what the best product would be for frozen drinks, Boyd recommends their custom printed paper lids in black and white. As far as innovation that Boyd would like to see for the future of the brand, is more eco-friendly packaging, that is biodegradable, printed and composted.
