Certification FAQ

Are your custom printed cups food-safe?
Yes. We use FDA-compliant, food-grade water-based and UV-curable inks that are specifically formulated to prevent chemical migration into hot or cold beverages. All printed batches undergo migration testing before release.
Do you provide certificates for specific bulk orders?
Absolutely. Every wholesale order ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and can include custom compliance letters formatted for your internal audit requirements.
Are your compostable cups home-compostable?
Our ASTM D6400 / EN 13432 certified line is designed for industrial composting facilities (typically 50-60Β°C). Home composting requires significantly longer breakdown times and specific conditions. We clearly label each product's composting requirements.
How long are these certifications valid?
Regulatory compliance is continuous. We recertify annually with updated lab reports and audit summaries. All certificates on this page are current as of the verification dates listed. We notify clients 90 days before any renewal or standard update.
