Partner Program Questions

Everything you need to know about joining the Cup Source partner network.

Anyone with a registered business can apply β€” from solo entrepreneurs and small cafΓ©s to large distributors and retail chains. We welcome food service companies, beverage brands, packaging resellers, e-commerce businesses, and more.
No. As a partner, you can start with any order size. While larger orders unlock better pricing tiers, there's no minimum to open your partner account or access wholesale prices.
Most partners are fully onboarded within 1-2 weeks. This includes account setup, catalog review, branding consultation (if applicable), and your first shipment. Enterprise partners may take 2-4 weeks for custom manufacturing setup.
Absolutely. As your business evolves, you can transition from a retail partnership to private label, or add distribution rights. Your existing relationship and pricing history are honored during transitions.
Yes. Enterprise and Growth partners can negotiate exclusive territorial rights for their region. This protects your market share and ensures you're the sole Cup Source partner in your area. Territory agreements are reviewed annually.
Our products carry FSC certification, FDA food-contact compliance, FDA compostable standards, and EU food-safe certifications. Private label partners receive full documentation for their own compliance and marketing purposes.
Growth and Enterprise partners can customize cup designs, colors, logos, and packaging. Our in-house design team provides free mockups, and we offer both full-color printing and embossing options. Turnaround for custom orders is typically 10-14 business days.
