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.
| Quality Check | Generic Supplier | Stadium Cup |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Material | Often mixed/unknown sources | Certified Food Grade PP |
| Mould Maintenance | Variable | Scheduled preventative maintenance |
| Final Inspection | Random sampling | Rigorous final inspection on every batch |
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.
