Quality You Can Count On: UK Manufacturing Standards

By Stadium Cup Team on 2026-03-19

Beyond the Sales Pitch

Anyone can claim to have 'high quality' products. But in manufacturing, quality isn't an adjective; it is a rigorous process. At Stadium Cup (part of Tees Valley Plastics), we follow strict protocols at every stage of production to ensure consistency across every order.

Why Our Manufacturing Process Matters

Every order we produce goes through documented, tracked, and audited processes — from sourcing raw polypropylene granules to the final print inspection.

  • Material Traceability: We know exactly which batch of plastic was used for your order. This is vital for food safety compliance.
  • Print Consistency: Our colour management systems ensure that your brand colours are exactly the same shade this year as they were last year.

The Problem with 'Cheap' Imports

When buying from non-verified sources, variations are common. One batch might be perfect; the next might have rough edges (flash) from poor moulding, or ink that peels off. In a busy bar, a cup with a rough rim can cut a lip, and ink peeling off is a contamination risk.

For major brands and venues, reputation is everything. Relying on a manufacturer with verifiable quality standards is the only way to ensure your brand is represented correctly in the hands of your customers.

Verified reviews from stadiums, clubs and sporting venues

#1

We ordered reusable cups for our stadium and they were perfect. Great quality, durable, and the printing looked amazing. Fans loved them and they were a much better eco-friendly alternative to disposable cups. The ordering process was smooth and delivery was quick. We'll definitely be ordering again.
