One of my other businesses just purchased a label printer. It does high quality full color labels and stickers in just about any size and shape. Would anyone use these for their cups? Does anyone use them currently? If so how much would you pay and what size label/sticker would you want?

In fact I need to do some sample labels and if someone wants to send me some artwork or a logo I can make you a dozen or so sample labels. For the samples send logo to jarredh@gmail.com and give me a mailing address to send them to.

We use insulair cups, they have a sleeve built into the cup so we don't use sleeves, and we use stickers. They look sharp, and represent us well in my opinion.

However, on a recent trip to Portland, almost every shop I visited used the stamp and not a sticker. I asked one of the owners at Coffeehouse Northwest why this was the case, and he argued that it was the culture. Everyone did it, it maintained the compostability (is this a word? it is now) of the cup, and there might have even been a backlash if they had used stickers.

CHNW is one of the best shops in the nation, Billy Wilson at Barista stamps his cups, and so does Stumptown. Customers who want good coffee in a to go cup don't give a rat's @$$ if a stamp "looks cheep." Go with what your market demands or desires. Period.

Of course, if you can afford to have custom printed cups/sleeves, why the hell not?
