Reusable stemless wine cup custom printed used at Sydney Opera House featuring simple reuse messaging and pour lines

Simple reuse messaging increases reusable cup return rates.

Iconic events and venues have a problem with reusable cups going home with patrons. After all, who wouldn’t love to take home a printed Sydney Opera House reusable wine cup, or a fun branded festival cup?

But every cup that leaves the venue is one you have to replace, and that adds up fast. ​

This is why we generally recommend simple reuse messaging, and why Sydney Opera House prints “please return me” directly onto their Stemless cups.

Simple, consistent reuse messaging wins.

Messaging matters if you need higher patron engagement in your reuse program.

We’ve written before about how behaviour change shapes reuse systems and having clear, consistent messaging is a priority when we work with events and venues to build or refine their reusables program.

The same messaging on your bins, cups and signage around the event reduces the last minute “which bin is right” panic from patrons.

A short, direct message does more work than just a logo, so we’ve put together these designs to get you started!

FAQs for Reusable Cup designs.

Can I add my own logo alongside one of these reusable cup designs?

You can also print on 2 sides of the reusable cup, so you can have your logo on one side and the reuse messaging on the other! 

The designs are shown on our Stemless (450ml), Tumbler (425ml), Taster (285ml) and Flute (270ml) cups in the library.
