Four-Cup Paperboard Carrier

The details

Four-Cup Paperboard Carrier

Our four-cup paperboard carriers are the classic folding basket format — four cells around a center wall that doubles as the grip, popped open from flat in one motion. It’s the carrier everyone pictures when they picture a coffee run, and that familiarity is the point: the person carrying it is delivering drinks to three other people, which means your logo arrives at a desk cluster, a job site, or a waiting room with a built-in audience. For most cafes it’s the highest-mileage print surface they own.

Printing runs flexo on natural kraft for an honest, craft-forward look, or full-color litho lamination when you want edge-to-edge artwork, exact brand colors, and photographic detail on every panel. The center wall gives you a tall, flat canvas at eye level of everyone the carrier passes, and the four outer faces keep working from every angle. Inks are food-adjacent safe and cured to resist drips, splashes, and condensation rings.

Construction is a sturdy claycoat or kraft board with locking tabs that hold the basket square under four full cups, and the cells are sized to steady standard 8-to-24-ounce hot and cold cups without pinching sleeves. The carrier folds flat for storage and pops open in about a second, so it works as hard in a morning rush as it does in a catering van. We can also add a short message — a hashtag, a loyalty nudge, a seasonal line — where the carrier’s recipient will actually read it.

Four-cup carriers suit any shop where group orders are the bread and butter. Every order includes a free mockup so you can see your artwork wrapped around the basket before printing, plus unlimited free revisions. Ready to brand the classic coffee run?
