Unique opportunity to acquire a newly launched custom paper cup and disposable packaging manufacturer based in Orange County, CA.

This business specializes in next-day custom-printed paper cups, a rare and valuable capability in a market dominated by slow overseas suppliers with high minimum orders and months-long lead times.

In addition to cups, the operation also includes a to-go food container box-forming line, opening additional revenue channels in the restaurant and hospitality sectors.

Current customers include several auto dealerships ordering branded service lounge cups, with active opportunities to expand into coffee shops, restaurants, and local retailers.

The business has been built from the ground up with a $155,000 equipment investment and $50,000 in industrial electrical upgrades, creating a turnkey domestic production operation that’s ready to scale.

Reason for Sale

Owner lives too far to manage the business day-to-day and is focusing on other ventures.

Growth Potential

The business is ideally positioned to scale through:

Coffee shops and cafés seeking custom-branded cups without large order minimums
Restaurants and caterers requiring fast domestic packaging solutions
Corporate branding and event supply partnerships
Private label distribution with U.S.-based fulfillment
Adding sleeves, lids, and printed accessories for bundled sales

With infrastructure already in place, the next operator can focus on sales and distribution growth rather than setup or R&D.

Support & Training

Full training and onboarding will be provided by the seller to ensure a smooth handoff.
Additionally, the current salesperson (co-owner), who has been successfully managing outreach and account acquisition, has offered to assist the new owner in establishing additional accounts and expanding sales channels during the transition period.

This hands-on support offers immediate momentum and continuity for the next operator.

Summary

This business offers a rare mix of hard assets, infrastructure, and early traction, with the ability to expand into a rapidly growing domestic market for branded paper products.

Buyers gain an immediate foothold in the packaging industry with:

A complete, functioning manufacturing setup
Proven customer demand
